That was the absolute dumbest thing that I have ever seen. This guy loses all credit with rankings like:
8. UTAH STATE (10-2), 117 points
9. San Jose State (10-2), 115 points
4. ALABAMA (11-1), 147 points
20. Ball State (9-3), 87 points
13. RUTGERS (10-2), 106 points
5. NEBRASKA (10-2), 122 points
21. Toledo (9-3), 78 points
12. NORTHERN ILLINOIS (11-1), 109 points
18. Louisiana State (10-2), 97 points
19. Georgia (11-1), 88 points
14. TULSA (9-3), 102 points
22. Kent State (11-1), 73 points
11. ARKANSAS STATE (9-3), 111 points
8. UTAH STATE (10-2), 117 points
9. San Jose State (10-2), 115 points
4. ALABAMA (11-1), 147 points
20. Ball State (9-3), 87 points
13. RUTGERS (10-2), 106 points
5. NEBRASKA (10-2), 122 points
21. Toledo (9-3), 78 points

18. Louisiana State (10-2), 97 points
19. Georgia (11-1), 88 points

Problem is it's getting ignored on Facebook
For good reason- its stupid. This playoff scenario suffers from the same problem most others put forth do; the inclusion of inferior teams in the name of "fairness".
I'm sorry but Arky State, SJSU, Kent State, Toledo, Ball State et al don't belong. THE BEST of the non big boys deserves a shot, thats it. Especially in something like an 8 team playoff. In a giant 24 team - which won't happen for 30 years probably - 2 or at most 3 of these little schools would be ok. And they certainly don't belong ABOVE good SEC/PAC/B1G schools just because they won their shitty little conference.

I really want to send him a friend request.

i don't think he included them to be fair. this system just shows that a system ranking all wins as equal, regardless of conference, can lead to silly results. even the Thursday night ESPN game says "c'mon man"

Man just skimming that guys response to this thread makes me think he's got something legitimately wrong with him. He can't take any criticism to his obvious shitty work.
