I will say the BCS is better because you have a lot of people on the human side of the equation to minimize one persons bias(Bohls) v 13 people that have ridiculous bias. It is better for breaking ties at the least.
what I would do is weight the computers 60% and the humans 40%. I think it was 33/33/33 computers/AP/Coaches.
wait..."Holiday/Alamo Bowl Champions!" doesn't mean anything to you? I remember when half the bowl teams(RC Slocum) could count themselves Champions at the end of the year. It was awesome.
yes, the BCS heavily weighted the loss column as well due to pollsters/humans overweighting the loss column dramatically. it was flawed also. you can look at historical BCS outcomes and it is 95% by loss column especially for P5. humans don't take SOS into account very much at all. in the BCS era the P5 conferences were basically looked at as equal with the SEC getting a boost. G5 was had to be undefeated to even be considered most of the time.
the key is to minimize losses however you can as there is no real desire by humans to look at details beyond that.
I know plenty about the history of college football. quit posting stupid shit. JESUS. ND can join a conf and schedule Navy every year for one of their 3 OOC if they want. No one cares if they play Navy or not.
It would be funny if everyone just said fuck notre dame. the TV money for Big ten and SEC and Big 12 isn't going to be affected. only the ACC and NBC is really affected.
as a fan I care for historical records, top 10, bow wins, I just realize it won't be best on best and won't be comparable with the 2 teams as they existed during the season.
the portal/unlimited transfers helped to kill the bowl games as well. sure you'd have a couple guys sit out for the draft and they were usually key guys but now your backups are gonna be out as well.
Miami is a prefect example. we have 2 wins better than any of Miami's wins and they lost to 2 unranked teams, one at home. My guess is aggy is going to win that game. Beck is a choker.
for years I was telling people the answer was 64 teams, reconfigured for some balance. 8 team divisions 4 conferences. 16 team playoff. It was so obvious that you knew it wouldn't happen.
sure some of it. but he said it was good for college football to have these games. he was damn adamant about it and talking about leaning into it. I just can't believe he doesn't know how SOS and loss column work. H2H is the only thing that might matter in breaking a tie. these morons on the committee don't even know how to work a computer much less respect it. They only care about losses because you know it is something that happened on the field.
the number 1 and 2 teams in the country all year had SOS's in the 30's or 40's most of the year.
I do realize that the tOSU and I believe Michigan games were scheduled before CDC.
yes the article from February. which I knew was from February. I do not expect our AD to make such a powerful statement about the importance of those games to college football and then backtrack just because of one season where it didn't work out and the game cost us the playoffs. I would hope he is more farsighted than that and didn't think that a committee full of AD's/coaches, etc that hate Texas was going to ignore a loss to anyone. He has to know how the loss column works for near on 90 years. He can't be that stupid and I know he isn't.
