I disagree with this and my opinion seems wildly unpopular. How does a competitive, close loss, not prove more about the level your team is at compared to some shitty win over a shite team?
To me, the regular season is to determine how good teams are. Losses can help determine that.
So you just want Vegas to rank the teams then? Your playoff would be Alabama, Florida State, Baylor, and Michigan St. Sorry Miss St. Great season, but nobody really cares about winning games.
And that would still be your playoff if LSU beats Alabama 27-14. Stupid idea.

This is probably a lame bump, but I didn't see the 2 posts to mine.
I actually would like to see some type of Vegas line factor into the rankings. Please don't read that first sentence and go nuts, I know how crazy it seems and the problems it could cause. But under the right circumstances and monitoring and transparency, I think Vegas lines could be very beneficial and better than most methods of ranking teams.
If I had to put my life on the line in a seasons long contest(Vegas vs talking heads or committee members) of who could rank teams or pick winners better, I'd side with Vegas. Wouldn't there be far less room for bias?
And there are plenty avenues present to separate good teams vs deserving teams. I assume Alabama 2010 would still be favored against most teams in the country. They didn't deserve shite though because of their 3 losses and that could easily be accounted for.
