A merit-based vision for CFB. 7 balanced conferences. Promotion & relegation. 16-team playoff. No selection committee. Earn your way in. Play your way out.

Is there a reason we don't just use this to determine the CFP? espnanalytics.com/cfb-blind-…

I guess I just value winning over all else and it will work itself out by the end of the season. Bottom line? My system gets rid of all this non-sense. No Committee

"Look at that slate, by the way. I need to say something, and I've never been more serious about something in college football... If you've got anyone getting married this Saturday, unfamily them or unfriend them, and don't go. Actually refuse to go." - Matt Barrie 🏈🎙️

Heck, just kill the committee and use the consensus fan rankings.

Because everyone’s is different. Mine looks exactly like the CFP for the most part.

That's why I would use these same computers to give the proper seeds to the teams that qualify for CFP under my system.
The issue with the BCS was the access, not the computers. These are FAR BETTER rankings: • UCLA, ND properly ranked • no 2-loss SEC tms in Top 7 (CFP has 2) • Wake, USC up multiple spots It should’ve always been the BCS.

The College Football Playoff Rankings are TERRIBLE AND MAKE ZERO SENSE. Here is what the CFP Rankings should have been.

Hey guys can you believe we ranked all the teams that we have a TV deal with for the playoff that we own? History! Wow. How’d they do it?
SEC DOMINATION 😤 The SEC features five teams in the top 10 of the CFP rankings, marking the first time any conference has placed five or more teams in the top 10 of an initial CFP ranking.

Here's the SEC's entire shtick: -10 SEC teams are ranked to begin the season -An unranked team beats one of those ranked teams -"Wow, the unranked team must be good because they just beat a ranked team, so we should rank them now" -10 SEC teams still ranked -Repeat
Here's a look at Unranked Losses by conference among Top 12 teams in the AP Poll: - SEC: 2 - Big 12: 1 - Everyone else: 0 Rank nearly the entire conference. Shout about all the Ranked Wins. Ignore the Unranked Losses. The SEC's greatest strength isn't football. It's marketing.

AP Poll just keeps getting worse. 1. Wake Forest at 14!? They are 7-1 and has DOMINATED their last four games 197-31 2. Look at the first point again. 3. Texas Tech is 7-1 and has two ranked wins… somehow between multiple 2-loss teams 4. 11 teams from the SEC?! For real?

It literally can’t be any more rigged. Georgia loses to 4-4 Auburn at home, Auburn subsequently gets destroyed by 21 points and by 30 points in each of the next two weeks. Utah is undefeated, with a Top 15 win, and just ragdolled 5-2 Cincinnati yesterday. Who cares though! Georgia is SEC! They can’t possibly ever be punished for losing to horrible teams! Every day they kill the sport more.

I like this but how is every time in the 'southeast' west of every team in the 'south.' I just can't get behind that.

I like this format, need to look at team distribution but this is exactly where they need to be going.

Here are my 7 "main" conferences. The rest of the FBS teams would be put in tiered Relegation conferences and the top Rel conference would have access to the CFP. Read my full proposal here -------> docs.google.com/document/d/1…

This may be the best I've ever seen
Replying to @flatland_sports
Very similar to my realignment. I prefer the 10 team per conference set-up.
