re: The Big 10 and ACC are setting the stage for locking up 3/4 playoff spots

I would probably argue the formulas being used haven’t appropriately normalized for number of games played, but as I sense we aren’t going to converge on this issue and it’s time for food, I’ll leave on that note. But I understand you can attack me for wanting to tinker with an objective metric and if we have the freedom to do so, it introduces subjectivity. But it comes down to I think the objective metric needs to be commonly agreed upon, and for my money I think the algorithm needs some adjustment.

I think you at least see the data driven reasons and the pragmatic (the injury point) reasons why I think we need to take a serious look at significant discrepancies in number of games played and not cast it off so easily.
