Jon Joseph No. 1 Share Posted February 24 People are climbing on board the Playoff Committee to better value a team's Strength of Schedule come 2024. With mega-conferences and the degree of schedule difficulty varying significantly intra-conference, the CFB Committee needs to sort through schedule strength as doe the Basketball Committee. The Basketball Committee uses uniform SOS metrics. The CFB Committee instead of leaving the determination of SOS in the mind of Committee members, needs to do likewise. CFB needs a measure of objectivity from a Committee that is moving around multi-millions of dollars every season without any public scrutiny of the process except vague, 'this is how the Committee works' pap. If the CFB Committee only values wins and losses, better teams with lesser records will likely be left out of the Playoff field. One reason the B1G's Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey, want alloted slots for several B1G and SEC teams.

Don't worry they always have and always will chase the $$$$. Part of that drama is having a few underground in the mix, who doesn't like an underground. This is the very reason I watch March Madness. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike the CBB where 7 to 8 guys can be assembled to play quality basketball, you cannot do the same in CFB. There would on occasion be an upset pulled off by the G5 but for the most part the G5 would go 0-5 and the media would not pay big money for these games.

Duckhart2 No. 7 Share Posted February 25 So a team like ND could go undefeated and not get one of the G5 spots? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Author No. 8 Share Posted February 25 Notre Dame could get the 5th seed but that's the highest seed in 2024 and 2025 the Irish could hope for. Seeing as how ND does not play a 13th conference champ game this is fine with me. Why a single team has conference status and the same voting power, as of now, is beyond me.
