Don’t forget the portal. A lot of guys have already left their teams. One school had to withdraw from a bowl bc about 50% hit the portal. The new rule on that is the portal doesn’t open until after Jan 1.
on who gets into the dance I would like to see the group that picks who is in ended. No more opinions. If a team wins a game they get 15 pts. For every team the losing team beats the original winner gets 10 pts. Finally any team beaten by the original losing team that wins games gives the original winner 5 pts.
I would add it strength of victory also. If you beat a school by 10 it’s an extra 5 pts. 20 gets you 10. 30 gets you 15 and so on. At the end of the season the team with the highest point value is the 1 seed and so forth.
just making an example here
bama
w lsu 32-20
w old miss 35-21
W Arkansas 45-30
w auburn 27-20
w Texas 30-27
w tam 35-14
w Louis tech 52-14
w ou 27-24
w sc 45-14
w mizz 52-20
l ug
l uf
they get 150 pts from the wins and 55 from the strength of victory.
so looking at lsu
w old miss
w msu
w mizz
w ug
w auburn
w Texas
So add the wins lsu gets to bama and you get 210. Bama would get the wins from each of their losing opponents.
Finally 3 levels down and we look at auburn.
w mizz
w Kent
w vandy
that gives an additional 15 points to bama.
