Which of the top four, according to comprehensive data, doesn't belong?

The committee got it right, as usual, unless anyone can prove otherwise.
Comprehensive data only. If you don't cite all games played, you have no point.
Anyone?

My only question is, if you attach Ohio State's exact scenario to Wisconsin, does Wisconsin get in?

They can't

Yes.
Can you answer the question now?

I would like to see some kind of uniform scheduling format across college football.
The committee got it right. However, I feel like we'd have more data points and just an overall better system if everyone played 9 conference games, 2 games against other power 5 teams, and then 1 game against a group of five team.
I believe Saban is arguing for something of this nature. And I think his main point was that we'd have a better idea of who the best 4 teams are this way.

I thought so. No need to anchor this one, hero admins. This one will die on its own.

There is one group of 128 teams. The top four make it in. That's it. Please just get it. It isn't hard.

Can you have one conversation with someone without being an a-hole?
Nothing in my post suggested I don't "get" those obvious statements you just made. It was a simple topic of discussion for your thread.

Sure... All teams but Ohio State played 13 games. That's not because Ohio State just decided to not play an extra game, but because they weren't good enough through the season to play that extra game.
All teams but Ohio State are already Champions and have passed their first test.
Ohio State are neither of the above, while others were left out that meet that criteria.

I don't think they do.
I think every team in the playoff deserves to be there. I just don't think the committee would've put a team like Wisky in if they were in Ohio State's shoes.

Sorry. You have no point.
Unless you can prove that Ohio State has a worse record or weaker schedule than someone in the conversation, shhhhhhhh.

You're so into yourself and being right, that you can't even read people's responses anymore, it seems.

You're the math guy. Wouldn't more games against those 128 teams you mentioned give us even more relevant data to use to mathematically determine the top 4?
Obviously, the Pac 12, SEC, and other major conferences are still playing FCS games. That was Saban's whole point. Get those teams off the schedule.
ETA: I'm sure you'll come back with something like "this is the system that is in place! Why don't you get it!?"
I understand the system that is in place. I'm arguing for a way to make it even better. I think eliminating FCS games would make it better.
*The Big Ten has announced they won't be playing FCS teams anymore.

Except on a scoreboard apparently.

This is absolutely wrong.

Didn't mean to say Big Ten. Meant Pac 12. My bad.
Obviously the Big Ten isn't playing those games. They let everyone know it, as they should.

Well, I guess technically they are. They're not scheduling them anymore.

Which is awesome. Very proactive by the conference
