Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

Rostermaster, when you say "vs. top 25," do you mean
"vs. teams that were in the top 25 when they played" or
"vs. teams that are currently in the top 25?"

I'm assuming it's the latter since I don't think the game gives you the former.

If this is the case, then Whitey your example doesn't apply since team E wasn't 5-0 against teams that were supposed to be good, but tanked, but instead they were 5-0 against teams that are in the top 25 at the end of the season.

yeah, I go with the Top 25 at the end of the season. If you beat a team that was #8 to start the year, but went 6-6 and is not ranked anymore then that isn't a quality win. Like with teams B and D they beat ranked teams, but 2 of them fell out in the last couple of weeks.

What was the teams record for team E's second loss? Going 5-0 in the top 25 is exceptional and as jellio stated is of more importance to him which I agree with to a degree, but at the same time a loss to a 7-5 team is a free one but the second loss imo trumps that 5-0 top 25 record unless the 2nd team was in the 9+ win range.

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

1) Team A: (undefeated power 5 conference champ. DUH!)

2) Team C: (power 5 champ, 11-1, 4 top 25 opponents)

3) Team E: (power 5 champ, 11-2, undefeated against top 25)

4) Team F: (11-1 w/ only loss to #1 team)

5) Team G: (10-2 power 5 team with a good win over #2 team)

6A) Team D: (get in a real conference or at least schedule some top 25 teams. Couldn't decide between Teams B and D)

6B) Team B: (Nothing terribly impressive. Couldn't decide between Teams B and D)

8) Team H: (I can't believe a 9-4 team is even in consideration)

This is the way to go!

Though I am a big fan of quantitative info, and am not a huge fan of this information approach. At a minimum, I would want to see the combined opponent win-loss for each team (available in the "schedules" menu), and the average ranking of each conference (available by clicking on conference prestige in the "my school" section of recruiting). I feel like this adds a lot more color to strength of schedule than just Top-25 record.

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

A,C,E,F

Inn that order

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

Love this thread but we need some more info or at least I do between E and D. Without knowing whom that second loss was to that wasn't in the top 25 it makes it impossible to judge all the variables. Losing a game to a 7-5 team isn't the worst but if the second loss is to a team that only has 8 wins or less they can't be a so called "elite" team. Team d on the other hand is a mystery to me without a conference and what teams they played but sure looks like they handled there business without the horrible upset. Ultimately without seeing the schedule and results of both E and D the book is based off of the vague cover.

I noticed a lot of individuals placing Team E third and Team F fourth. Just wondering if you are giving E the bump over F more so due to the conference championship or the 5-0 Top 25 record.

I have to agree with Jello..

For my playoff I did 8 teams.. I do not remmber the records.


East Regional (CFA): #8 Oklahoma (Conference champ no game) vs #3 Miami (ACC Champ)
Midwest Regional (Cotton): # 18 Notre Dame (Wildcard, Highest ranked not in the big 5) vs #1 Mississippi St. (SEC Champ)
South Regional (Capital): #19 Louisville (AAC Champ) vs #2 Auburn (Wildcard.. Highest ranked overall not a conference winner)
West Regional (Holiday): #7 UCLA (PAC 12 Champ) vs #5 Michigan St. (Big 10 Champ)

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

So when do we get to find out who the teams were?!

Re: Anyone want to be apart of my playoff committee?

@snyder I like how you did the wildcard. It

I can not take credit for that.. I got the idea from TheUofCWildcat.. That is how he had it set up in his tutorial video.. I thought it was a good idea so I tried it out.

I mean, both play into it, but the 5-0 record is a bigger factor for me. The two ways I conceptualize playoff teams are teams whose resume has earned them a shot at the playoff, and who have a legitimate chance to be the best team in the country.

In the absence of more advanced Strength Of Schedule (SOS) measures, or even the ability to look individually at each game, I see: Team F lost to the only top team they played. A is undefeated, so I give F credit it was a legitimate loss. But F only played one other top 25 team, and didn't get to even play in a championship game. They only beat one good team their entire schedule.

Team E has two losses, yes, one more than F. But team E played a much tougher schedule, beat 5 good teams, and beat team B who was better than anyone team F played. Even with that extra loss, team E's schedule earned a shot at contention more clearly than F, and E showed more compellingly that it might be really good.

I guess the simplest way to put it is: Team F made the playoff by avoiding losing too much. Team E deserves the higher spot because they've shown they can win.
