Qualifications for making the College Football Playoff

So were we not just discussing Delaney?

And if you think the PAC 12 will sit idly by if they miss a third year in a row eh....I don't see it happening.

He was asked a question, he is smart enough to give the response his constituents want to hear. The reality is much more complicated. Unless they want to grant the rights to ESPN for a low-ball number it matters not.

We have 1 champion not 2. And "4 best teams " is a facade . It's a guess . Criteria helps in every aspect of life .

They have criteria now, just not your criteria.

Criteria is only useful if followed. The rest is made up bullshit

It's not a guess, there is actual data that is used.

If it's not being followed, how am I able to say what the 4 teams will be every single year before the playoff rankings even come out?

It's so damn easy I don't even watch those fucking shows.

Criteria? This kind?

Skinner's Constant (Flannegan's Finagling Factor) That quantity which, when multiplied by, divided by, added to, or subtracted from the answer you get, gives you the answer you should have gotten.

This. Teams should be placed based on who has the best results according to agreed to criteria. The best team stuff is nonsense.

It is not that difficult to guess that the committee will pick the P5 teams with best records.

So how did Oklahoma get in over Ohio St?

What is it with you Hawkeyes. Do y'all spend your days looking for problems to the solutions you've come up with.

 

[CJH9972]

I didn't say it absolute. Just saying it is not difficult to predict who will be selected even if more teams share the four best records.

 

[CJH9972]

Not sure what Hawkeyes has to do with it but picking the four best teams is a stupid standard. Most competitions have these things called rules and it is left to the teams to post the best results according to those rules.

It's not hard to predict, because they follow the same guidelines every year and it has nothing to do with "P5" or "G5" and everything to do with "SoS".

As I said elsewhere, I'm fucking worried about Alabama's schedule next year because our best OOC game is Duke at a neutral site even though we will play multiple top 25 teams over the season. And here at the same time I have to listen to people claiming the system is unfair to the team that doesn't even play a team as tough as Duke all season long in conference or out of conference.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

The system is unfair because it doesn't actually define SOS. It is all a matter of opinion. It simply asserts that a G5 schedule isn't good enough and will use numbers that support that position and ignore those that don't. UCF's 2017 schedule was statistically as good or better than that of 09-10 TCU teams that finished in the BCS top four. Yet, a committee places UCF 12th. Then, this year, UCF has a weaker schedule with no top 25 wins but ranks higher than last year.

SoS is not an opinion, and it doesn't assert anything.

Nor is UCF's schedule anywhere near the level of TCU's or Boise St's back then. UCF's schedule was one of the worst in all of FBS college football, in the 120's. TCU and Boise St were running SoS in the 70's-90's most years.

 

[4down20]

Oh yeah, btw. TCU played in the MWC back then, and they were on the verge of getting AQ status until they were raided by the Big12/Pac12. If they had managed to keep the teams they had while adding Boise St they would have made AQ status easy.

The Big East was on the verge of losing AQ status before that conference fell apart.

As those things were based on performance. TCU played in a much tougher conference than UCF does today.

 

[SignalBama]

This is an easy answer. Have the name Alabama.

There is no one SOS method and beauty contest formats judge SOS based on how difficult their schedule is. That said, 2017 UCF had three AP top 25 wins which ties for the most ever for a G5 team and their opponents had a combined winning record versus FBS competition which no other undefeated G5 ever did.

Damn right. I help deliver those bags. If you aren't cheating you aren't trying.
