SI Conducts Mock NCAAF Playoff Committee

I saw that this was posted in another thread, but thought it deserved it's own because of some of the results and dynamics discussed.
Mock selection committee: How a four-team playoff would look now
Mock selection committee: How a four-team playoff would look now
quote:
For a glimpse into the vexing challenges the committee will face, SI enlisted 11 athletic directors representing each FBS conference and the independents. (The lineup originally included four conference commissioners or executives, much like the basketball committee, but following a Nov. 12 BCS meeting in which our project was discussed, all reluctantly pulled out.) Former NCAA executive Greg Shaheen, who for the past 12 years served as the lead facilitator for the men's basketball selection committee, spearheaded the exercise for SI.

So essentially winning your conference means absolutely nothing

This would suck for Georgia. But that's why you don't lose 35-7.

riots in athens would be had if florida made it in something like this over us. does it say in the article that it's assuming an alabama win or something?

There's seriously nothing wrong with this. The model didn't assume an outcome for the SECCG; obviously Alabama would be replaced by Georgia if the Bulldogs win this weekend. You have only one 1-loss team worth a shite getting left out, and that 1-loss team managed to shite the bed to the tune of a 28-point blowout loss against a team that'll be lucky to finish 7-5. Of the possible teams in this playoff, only one had a similarly bad loss, but against a team that finished 10-2. It's obvious that Kansas State should be left out after that awful performance against Baylor.
Put this way: I think it's a hell of an improvement that this playoff system makes an 11-1 Kansas State team that unarguably threw away its title hopes at Baylor the odd man out compared to the current system, which makes an 11-1 Florida team that's 4-1 against squads in the top-15 the odd man out. You can make a strong case that Florida has the best body of work this season. You can't make that case for Kansas State at all.

that's what i'd do but we need 8 teams. somewhere along the line conference championship games are expendible. 16 games for college kids is wrong.

Why don't they wait until all the friggin games have been played??
ETA: ok it has some assumptions.
