College Football - My Top 25 (12/7/14)

By now, everyone has seen who is in the playoffs. Lets see how my Algorithm stands up.

1. Ohio State - up 3
2. Alabama - same
3. Florida State - up 3
4. Oregon - up 4
5. Wisconsin - down 4
6. TCU - down 3
7. Arizona - down 2
8. Boise State - up 3
9. Baylor - up 14
10. Marshall - up 10
11. Missouri - down 4
12. Georgia Tech - down 3
13. NIU - up 3
14. Michigan State - down 4
15. Arizona State - down 3
16. Western Kentucky - down 3
17. Air Force - down 3
18. Stanford - down 3
19. UCLA - down 2
20. Kansas State - down 2
21. UCF - new
22. LSU - down 3
23. Ole Miss - down 2
24. Clemson - down 2
25. Louisville - down 1

So my algorithm chose the top 4 that will actually make the playoffs this year. I would still prefer a playoff with 8 teams, the top 8 conferences all battling it out. All that would do is add 1 more week of games + 4 new bowls. Heres how it would stack up using my scoring.

1. Oregon vs 8. NIU

2. Ohio State vs 7. Marshall

3. Alabama vs 6. Boise State

4. Florida State vs 5. TCU

That way nobody could complain...

College Football - My Top 25 (11/15/14)

I've came up with an interesting algorithm that awards teams for wins only based on the strength of their opponent at the time they played them. Score is not taken into consideration and a team is not penalized for losses. That means, only the teams that consistently beat other good teams rise to the top. Here's what I have so far:

1. Ohio State
2. Alabama
3. TCU
4. Florida State
5. Oregon
6. Arizona State
7. Wisconsin
8. Georgia Tech
9. Georgia
10. Michigan State
11. Marshall
12. Mississippi State
13. Missouri
14. Texas
15. UCLA
16. Utah
17. Utah State
18. Oregon State
19. Colorado State
20. Boise State
21. Air Force
22. LSU
23. Auburn
24. Baylor
25. Arkansas

Now who wouldn't want to see a playoff with those 4 teams at the top? That would be awesome! As far as conferences go, here's my ranking:

1. SEC
2. P12
3. B10
4. B12
5. ACC
6. MW
7. CUSA
8. MAC
9. AAC
10. SB
