The sim engine is broken, as is the poll logic. The only way to get somewhat decent results is to force wins. Here's what I do...
1. Force wins for P5 and ranked G5 teams against FCS teams
2. Force wins for P5 teams against G5 teams if they're at home. The exception being a lower P5 team, like Vandy.
3. Typically, I let the sim engine take on conference play, but I've read some people force wins for Top 15 vs. unranked teams at home, and Top 10 vs. unranked teams on the road. Will try that.
4. Force losses for any team getting an at-large bid in the CFP with 4+ losses. Realistically, no team with 4+ losses will ever make it as an at-large team.
5. Force losses for any lower level P5 team who is getting to be highly ranked (i.e. Charlotte, Jax State), especially if they're playing a decent team.
6. Force wins in the conference title game for ranked teams vs. unranked, or, if there's more then a 15 spot gap.
This has yielded somewhat realistic results. It's been mostly SEC/B1G teams, and no more than one G5 team has made it each year. The only G5 team to have gotten a bye was 12-1 Boise State.
The semifinals have mostly been P5 blue bloods. The title games have been Oregon over Alabama, Georgia over Michigan, and Georgia over Notre Dame.
Something to try as we are waiting (hopefully!) for a patch.

Im doing something very similar and love the results (Obviously its ridiculous we have to do it) and it takes me 2 minutes at top. I let some games take care of themselves, but I just make sure to avoid the absurd things that we've been seeing with teams like Charlotte, UNT and Rutgers
