Potential new point ranking system

Just something I thought of this morning and wanted to hear the rant’s thoughts.

New College Football Ranking System: The Points Method

This system ranks college football teams based on performance quality, assigning points for wins and losses based on the opponent’s ranking at the time of the game. The goal is to provide a transparent, week-to-week ranking that rewards strong performances and penalizes poor ones. It would look something like this:

Points for Wins:
• Beat a Top 5 team: +10 points
• Beat a team ranked 6-10: +5 points
• Beat a team ranked 11-15: +3 points
• Beat a team ranked 16-25: +2 points
• Beat a team ranked 26-50: +1 point
• Beat a team ranked 51 or lower: 0 points

Points for Losses:
• Lose to a team ranked Top 25: -1 point
• Lose to a team ranked 26-50: -2 points
• Lose to a team ranked 51-75: -3 points
• Lose to a team ranked 76-100: -4 points
• Lose to a team ranked 101+: -5 points

The two issues I’ve thought of would be the issues early on - the very first poll and the preseason polls moving forward, as well as early season results with multiple teams likely being tied up early on (for example after week 1 there would be 25 teams tied at +1). I’m thinking it would work itself out as the season plays out and the final standings of each year could be the following year’s preseason poll as default. But I’m just curious to see what others think of this. There would be no more room for bias and the results would speak for itself.
