Mathematically false.

Your margin of error swallows up any valid results because your sample size is so small.

Personally, I don't think there is any way to determine a "best" team except by opinion. Once you introduce subjectivity, you may as well just go back to pre-alliance days. The "champion" is merely the winner of a tournament. if you have a playoff, you should remove subjectivity. Also, your way makes conference championships completely irrelevant. Personally, I'm not okay with that. Wildcards do the same thing.

There's no reason for all that, keep it simple, objective, and maintain conference championship integrity. I don't even care if all conferences crown their champions differently. Should the MAC champion go before the send place SEC team? Sure, the MAC team provides the cream-puff incentive to get the highest seed almost like a bye. It really comes down to the top 4 seeds, and I just don't think there's room for a runner up in the top 4.

Besides, there will come a day when the SEC doesn't get a team in the playoffs under the present system. I don't think that's right. I think any system needs to include conference champions to assure the SEC will be represented.
