A Way To Make A Great College Football Playoff System

A way to fix the playoff

Keep it at 12 teams but obviously, move away from the committee and utilize an equation. This equation rewards the winners of conference championships and losing a conference championship results in no bonus points. This makes the games meaningful and could potentially be a teams key opportunity to make the playoff. Each team starts the season with 100 points. Losses and margin of loss is deducted throughout the season. Winning your conference championship results in 10 additional points plus the points you won by. So, if you win the conference championship by 7, you get 17 points. Here is the equation.

[100-(season losses + points lost by)] + (conference championship margin of victory + 10 for a W and 0 for a loss)

For Indiana this is the equation. [100-(0+0)] + (3+10) = 113

Here are teams 1-12 with their points, based on this model. I applied this equation to the topic 25 and this is what I got. I plugged my flair team BSU into it for fun. They scored 41 this season.

1. Texas Tech 132
2. Georgia 127
3. Indiana 113
4. James Madison 112
5. Tulane 101
6. Ohio State 96
7. Notre Dame 96
8. Ole Miss 91
9. Oregon 89
10. Texas A&M 89
11. Miami 89
12. Oklahoma 87
