Have you tracked your model in head to head games? Your model has had UK ahead of UT by just a little bit and UT actually won that game by just a little bit so, seems your model predicted a close game and got one. Well done! But do you track head to head regularly? Just interesting to see, you can take out the G5 teams that rank well, but we all know it’s fools gold

No. Head-to-head is irrelevant to this system. It doesn't consider names. I could figure out how good it has been at predicting, but it would take some time. Though I will say that my math has been disrespecting Oklahoma all year, and in the end it turned out to be correct.

Yeah, you may have a blend of power rating vs ranking system. Maybe if some percentages were weighed heavier you could have a gambling model. It’s interesting and I check this thread every time I see it updated.

It's possible that the result of the Army-Navy game could have an impact on Cincinnati's score. So this may not be the final ranking.

You were right, the committee got it wrong with Cincy.
IMHO the committee was just pushing Mickey Mouse's play-off expansion agenda.
A G5 team will be hard pressed to EVER win a true championship play-off game.

I think Bama's going to beat Cincy comfortably. But I honestly don't have a problem with Cincy getting in. There weren't 4 P5 teams that deserved it.

IMO watching Cinci get steamrolled by Bama is the same as watching ND or likely even tOSU, this year, get steamrolled.

It's GA and Bama at the top and who they beat to get to the championship game wouldn't matter. It's GA and Bama..... and the rest of CFB this year.

I agree that Cinci will get steamrolled, but if that's the case why not let the record speak for itself?

It's a question I have long asked about CFP expansion, which team in would have made a difference?

The average margin of victory is almost 20 points in the CFP. I dont see how that's an argument for expansion, at least if you want to see quality games. The NY6 (first out) margin is 24 points. So it's not like you can argue things would get better with more.
