re: How the Playoff Committee uses Data to Place Teams

quote:

Notice Wisconsin is #4 and Florida is #11 using this advanced base ranking.

You can play around all day long and Wisconsin beats Flotida more often than not on their ranking tool. That’s why, with the exact same 10-2 record, Wisconsin ends up ranked one spot ahead of Florida.

AFter playing with this, I'm okay with Wisconsin ahead of Florida

But this metric has Bama in damn near every top 5 I am adjusting with the sliders. Convince me why the committee dropped them 7 spots to number 12 (with those metrics). I'm having a hard time understanding how Bama is not even in the top 10.

It's just funny how there is no consistency, and when the committee head has been asked to clarify rankings, he uses different metrics every week, at the expense of ignoring metrics they used the previous week

For the first time, LSU has a dog in this fight, so naturally, LSU fans are a little at odds with this process.
