Imagine college football adopts a system where teams are regionally clustered and schedule the schools close by. Then, every year, the teams from each cluster are paired up for competitive matchups in destinations where fans can go celebrate the season and watch a great game.
If we’re moving towards an NFL style system then using “ranked wins” has to go away. We value a win over #25 when objectively, 5-10 teams on a given week could realistically hold that spot?
Imagine a random cutoff of a moving target in the nfl deciding playoff spots?

The CFB Playoff committee not only has bad rankings, but the worst part is they stand on NOTHING.
• Indiana falls from #4 to #9 after a bye week
• UCLA goes from #8 to #4 after a road win vs Minnesota
• Miami falls 6 spots, below two 2-loss teams after a close ROAD loss to #5 Notre Dame
• Oregon jumps 7 (!) spots and USC only jumps 2 spots while OSU is a complete disaster without Julian Sayin (#2 to #20 in 3 weeks)
Insanely volatile, no rhyme or reason. Going with whichever way the wind blows.

Not only did they leave 6-3 Missouri (best win is 5-4 Florida) in the rankings, they intentionally placed them DIRECTLY in front of 7-2 Arizona.
Why?
Missouri plays Georgia this week.
Arizona plays Utah this week.
If both of the favorites win, they right it off as Georgia than Utah, so Utah is still barred from the #1 ranking.
The agenda is so blatantly obvious.

Hunter Yurachek basically just said that strength of schedule is more important than head-to-head.
What’s the point in playing the games then?

One thing completely lost in the (predictably terrible) discourse about the impact on this D3 football game: Why in the world did DCU and Audi even schedule a football game on the same field ONE WEEK BEFORE hosting the NWSL Championship Game?
Crisis averted: The Spirit will play their playoff semi-final at Audi Field at noon on Sat.
• Spirit news release thanks Lafayette Federal Credit Union for 'underwriting additional costs to bring this match home'
• NWSL news release does not include a location for Gotham v KC

“But sir, why is a team Tennessee beat by double digits and has the same record 5 spots ahead of them in the rankings?”

I just dont understand how they can blatantly fix things right in front of our eyes and we are just forced to go along with it
Last week:
5-3 South Carolina was #21.
6-2 Arizona was #22.
South Carolina beat 4-5 Texas A&M by one possession at home.
Arizona beat 4-5 TCU by one possession at home.
6-3 South Carolina moved UP 4 spots.
7-2 Arizona moved DOWN 1 spot.
Very cool, CFP (SEC) committee!

Compare the #CFBPlayoff rankings from Week 11 this year (Nov. 10 rankings) to Week 11 in 2016, 2011, and 2006.
"Strength of Schedule" has officially been given more weight than actually taking care of business and winning games.
That is a massive problem for college football.

College football’s best comparison is European soccer. Soccer in Europe is NOT about the champions league. It’s about the domestic leagues and rivalries. That’s why when they tried to make a super league the fans revolted because they have a spine and common sense
