A bit of Data to share

Nov 30, 2018, 8:52 AM

Below is a list of the final Committee rankings since the start of the CFP. It looks to me, if you were to draw a line after the 8th team that you would have a group that includes most of the teams that have a chance to win. If you want to be more conservative you could look at 12, but I don't think that you gain anything by doing that.

That would encourage teams to schedule crappy OOC games because it doesn't matter who they beat as long as they win their conference. Although I could be over-thinking it, because if you schedule and win big OOC games, then you could get an at-large bid. Really you'd have to go hard one way or the other. Either really easy OOC games and focus on conference, or really hard OOC games and use those as leverage.

If you are going to give the conference champs guaranteed spots, then every conference needs a drastic overhaul. Everybody needs to adopt the Big 12 conference system and we need to go to 6 total "power" conferences and then 2 at large bids. That way we don't increase the number of games in a season.

5 Conference Champs and 3 at large

I dislike guaranteed conference spots

I disagree
