Points Won and Points Lost. One point per win by opponents defeated. Minus one point per loss by opponents defeated by. Thanks.......good, objective system. if you had a web site it should be part of the Massey Composite....or do you have a site ? I have results going back to 1978 posted on powerpointsstandings.blogspot.com. It is a rather simple site, not much to it.

absolutely
the goalposts with the committee have literally changed over the course of the 9 years
The TCU snub involved no conference championship game, and the committee and ESPN saying they needed a "13th data point"...literally year 1 of the committee
And to add to the irony of how stupid college football is...the most low IQ fans in sports. People complain about how bad the TCU blowout to Georgia was last year, and that was bad for the playoff.
Well, there are two facts here people forget...
1) In a 12 team playoff, TCU gets in as an At-Large because they LOST THEIR CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. Kansas State would have gotten in over TCU
2) TCU did in fact beat the Big 10 Champ Michigan
Just cause you get blow-outs in championship games doesn't mean you go back and change the whole damn format. There have been many, many Super Bowl blowouts. The NFL didn't freak out and revert to "best teams"
College football fans have a bizarre kind of Stockholm Syndrome, where they really believe all of this garbage put out by ESPN, and then are stunned and shocked when upsets happen.
Using TCU as an argument to deny a team an earned opportunity to avoid a possible blowout is another absurd idea you only find in College Football. The whole best teams thing also drives me nuts. Being better is a competitive advantage only. Every competition that does not resort to voting teams into the playoffs places and advances teams based on the value of their season results according to the rules agreed upon. If a better team does not post better results, the better team is eliminated jst as they would be if it lost a playoff game.

I think the reasons used to keep FSU out are trash, but when playoff teams are voted on, anything goes.

Yes. I had Washington, Michigan, Texas, and Alabama for Top 4. Well... that ends any controversy for me. Your rankings were always the BEST I have ever seen, and 100% objective. No committee needed. Maybe, you can still help pick the At-Large teams next year! I'm game. I think based on proposed rules, I matched the committee on 11 of 12 teams... I had Oklahoma over Missouri.

Yeah, CJH, I always thought your objective ranking system was as good or better than most all the others out there if FBS CF had to rely on mythical stuff, but I can't remember any details. Anyway, I hope you do some posting around here. I think I'll be around.

Do you still do your rankings? Who are the Top 4? Yes. I had Washington, Michigan, Texas, and Alabama for Top 4.

Best team and injury arguments are worthless and apply nowhere in sports. Even with the awful committee format, the only question that should matter when comparing teams is which teams get more value for their actual game results.

Hello strangers. How is the playoff debate going? Hey CJ!! Long time no see, We’re all ready for the 64 team playoff. 😉 That might be a bit much.

Too much of college football is still all about identifying and validating the best team. Competition is about determining a winner. Rules say Do X and the teams that best accomplish X place higher. People can favor rules they think provide the greatest challenge for placing and advancing but rules are never about guaranteeing that the best teams win. Being a better team is a competitive advantage only. Populating a group for a four team playoff from among a group as large as we are talking about is about identifying and choosing the best teams with less than perfect information. Advancing four teams according to agreed upon rules using limited information is rather simple.

I think Notre Dame will get picked over Alabama. I don't think the committee would have the guts to do otherwise.
