Playoff selection criteria for at large bids. How would y'all rank these?
HokieAl • 12/05/24 09:29 AM ET
Dunno, but losing your last game is a very bad thing apparently.
Truthahn • 12/06/24 12:14 PM ET
I would completely leave out: injuries, when you had losses, win streak.
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 10:29 PM ET
Key injuries should not be a criterium **

EDGEMAN • 12/05/24 05:37 PM ET
Do you think SMU gets in with a close loss?
Truthahn • 12/06/24 12:13 PM ET
There is no way to box in criteria like this
Colonel Jessup • 12/05/24 12:30 PM ET
The committee isn't actually needed.
Truthahn • 12/05/24 04:16 PM ET
And what committee designs the formula that the computer uses?**
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 04:22 PM ET
BCS formula. NET. LOL.
Colonel Jessup • 12/05/24 04:35 PM ET
Yep, that's because there's always somebody behind the scenes making
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 08:34 PM ET
No, it doesn't happen with computer models.
Truthahn • 12/06/24 12:06 PM ET
Accountants & Engineers do this daily, it’s easily done, it’s an attitude
Stech • 12/05/24 12:37 PM ET
There's a way to do it that would satisfy the people on the committee who

There will always be unhappy people, but tweak it in the offseason if the
Stech • 12/05/24 03:00 PM ET
There is still a lot of subjectivity which would challenge the integrity.
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 03:11 PM ET
Leave some subjectivity if you have 2, but 80% objectivity 20% subjectivity
Stech • 12/05/24 05:46 PM ET
Eight would have been better than 12. If you go to 12 you might as well
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 08:44 PM ET
Agreed, end the Conference Championship game and go to 16, but have some
Stech • 12/06/24 09:25 AM ET
The wins and losses are only equitable withing the conferences themselves.
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 02:45 PM ET
They are not even equitable within a conference. With 16-18 teams in a

It's not perfect by any stretch, but the conferences can lay out their

If the goal is only to remove subjectivity then we can just go with
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 03:15 PM ET
It would open up some very good non conference games. There would be
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 03:29 PM ET
Top 25 wins is +30%, out of Top 25 loses is -30%, Away wins +20%, home
Stech • 12/05/24 12:29 PM ET
Problem is that the rankings are built on this formula, but the formula is
wwhokie1 • 12/05/24 02:59 PM ET
All of these are completely irrelevant for CFP at-large bids.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 10:44 AM ET
Which is why we need to get on with the P2 split, and stop masquerading it.
Stech • 12/05/24 12:49 PM ET
Collective bargaining and a salary cap that apply to all D1 are necessary.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 01:05 PM ET
They can't get a cap without anti trust legislation. It's what is needed t
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 01:09 PM ET
They can if the players collectively agree to it.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 01:12 PM ET
Interestingly, the AAC is now exploring minimum investment into
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 12:58 PM ET
You forgot Penn State and Notre Dame receive autos with 2 or less losses
Sunsetunderground • 12/05/24 12:06 PM ET
ND has never made a playoff with 2 losses
TerryD • 12/05/24 09:28 PM ET
Notre Dame, perhaps.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 12:59 PM ET
Penn State rarely ever beat Ohio State or Michigan but somehow are
Sunsetunderground • 12/05/24 01:55 PM ET
Because they graduate 25k people a year that like to watch Penn State games

Preseason polls tell it all. **
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 01:04 PM ET
Preseason polls have been an SEC scam now for 20 years.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 01:09 PM ET
Get rid of all polls until the playoff poll later in the season? Not
Big12 guy • 12/05/24 01:12 PM ET
They can have all the polls they want if the CFP committee-

Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 01:30 PM ET
Are we now at the point where the ACC might actually vote to disband?
HokieAl • 12/05/24 01:52 PM ET
All I know is this: the status quo is untenable. Something's gotta give.
Baltimore_Hokie • 12/05/24 03:28 PM ET
Please end the pain. The only ACC teams that will now be competitive are
