frick, man, even I believe 24 is too many teams, and I'm the biggest playoff proponent on this site.

10 points per D-1 wins ONLY, no credit for winning against D1-AA, etc.
5 points per road win
10 points bonus for win over teams with 8 or more wins.
25 Conference Title Bonus (top independent got 12 points)
LOSE 20 points for loss to Teams with less than 4 wins or sub D-1

So losses against teams with more than 3 wins don't mean anything. And every conference is considered equal. Solid

This is what you get when you treat a 12-0 team playing a SEC/Big12 schedule the same as a 12-0 team playing a Sunbelt schedule.

No bias?

I would rather have four super conferences (16 teams)

Four teams in four divisions

Four division winner playoff for conference championship

Four conference champions have national championship playoff.

but this is Boise State, always good for one upset, and the rally is complete with 13-seconds left, when, trailing 35-34, the Broncos go for a winning field goal that is blocked. However, the Gamecocks fail to recover and the place holder picks up the ball, finds a wedge, and slips through for an unlikely score.

The fact that he considers this horseshite "unbiased" really leads me to believe he's not all there. That's not me being anon Internet guy piling it on. The selection of the factors that produce points and their weightings are the epitome of subjective and biased. The only thing objective about this nonsense is each team is equally subject to the same subjective ranking system.

Get your Yankee friend a dictionary and a lot of help, and suggest he stop publicly embarrassing himself.

It's going exactly how I thought it would

Believe it or not, the guy writes fantastic articles when he covers live sporting events. It's just that he and I don't remotely agree when it comes to college football. I asked him permission to post all this to get some outsider opinions. Y'all haven't dissapointed.
