College Football Playoff to tweak the way it evaluates teams during the 2025 season

The playoff announced Wednesday that it was making “enhancements to the tools that the selection committee uses to assess schedule strength and how teams perform against their schedule. The changes come after 9-3 Alabama was the first team left out of the playoff and ended the season ranked ahead of 10-2 Miami.
“The current schedule strength metric has been adjusted to apply greater weight to games against strong opponents,” the playoff’s release said. “An additional metric, record strength, has been added to the selection committee’s analysis to go beyond a team’s schedule strength to assess how a team performed against that schedule. This metric rewards teams defeating high-quality opponents while minimizing the penalty for losing to such a team. Conversely, these changes will provide minimal reward for defeating a lower-quality opponent while imposing a greater penalty for losing to such a team.”

TL;DR: The BCS computers had it right.

Oh poor Alabama. Do you think this would’ve happened with anybody else?

The knocks on scheduling good teams 8-10 years ago is hilarious, considering that was what everyone was doing at the time.

Why is college football always changing when Bama feels slighted?

Once again, we are going to alter the system so one specific program can benefit.
Every time a media darling fails, we must "change" things.
Happened in 2003. Happened in 2011. Happened again every time Bama failed to win the SEC but was forced in anyway. Happened in 2023.
It is laughable at this point.

Funny how them getting "slighted" prompts an immediate change.
Not that I disagree with the change. But like you said, do we think this happens if it were only 9-3 Ole Miss and/or South Carolina that got left out of the CFP?
Posted on 8/20/25 at 11:22 am to Mickey Goldmill
Can we please get rid of these fricking morons in the CFP
Posted on 8/20/25 at 11:23 am to Mickey Goldmill
How was this not the way they measured strength of schedule in the first place?

Then why change anything? If my memory is correct, every CFP ranking so far has matched what the BCS rankings would have been

When you are the most successful program in college football history you can do that kind of stuff. I despise Alabama as much as you but that reason is a lot of why they get special treatment.

I mean this could very well benefit LSU this year no?

Final 2007 rankings on Dec 2.
Would have made a great top 12 playoff,

2. LSU (11–2) (7)
3. Oklahoma (11–2)
4. Georgia (10–2)
5. USC (10–2) .
6. Virginia Tech (11–2) (1)
7. Missouri (11–2) .
8. Kansas (11–1) .
9. West Virginia (10–2)
10. Hawaii (12–0) (1) .
11. Florida (9–3)
12. Arizona State (10–2)

Notre Dame is fricked

I have no issues with the way teams were ranked last year.
Is this saying 11-2 SMU & 11-1 Indiana should’ve been left out?

Presumably it brings a team with a 9-3 record who played a tough schedule and beat good opponents into play over an 11-1 team who played a light schedule and beat no one of note (see Indiana and SMU)

So does this help or hurt us
Posted on 8/20/25 at 11:54 am to John Casey
Wouldn’t this have hurt Bama?
They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team.
