2014 College Football Rankings - Week 15

In our version, of the college football playoff, #1 Oregon would match up against #4 Ole Miss, while #2 Alabama would play against #3 TCU for a slot in the championship game. Well, it's not going to happen that way. That much is guaranteed. It would be extremely difficult for the committee to put a three-loss team in the playoff, even if the analysis of their season does show them to have had a more successful season than even undefeated Florida State (which everyone seems to accept as being in the playoff as much because of their performance in the 2013 season - the length of their overall winning streak - as for anything they actually did during the 2014 season).

Here is how the rankings stack up with just next week's Army-Navy game remaining in the regular season:

1. Oregon Ducks (12-1) - 1.0

A Crazy Proposal - Conference Realignment

Four years ago, there was a lot of talk about consolidating the conferences into four 16-team super conferences. The conventional wisdom (which is rarely that conventional, or for that matter, that wise) was that eventually the six BCS conferences were going to merge into four super conferences of 16 teams each. What happened? They didn't exactly merge, but one of them - the Big East - basically fell apart. It is now the AAC and isn't considered a power conference any more. Instead, there are five power conferences.

One of the reasons that the super conference idea seemed so intriguing to people was the idea that the four conference champions could form a four-team national championship tournament. Four years later, we do have a four-team tournament, but we're still dealing with five power conferences, and there are other problems with the system. Some otherwise deserving programs, like BYU and Boise State, are still on the outside looking in. The five power conferences do not all have championship games. One of the champions will always be left out - and perhaps two, if one conference gets two participants - which is possible since even among the power conferences, some conferences are better than others. (Of course, under some scenarios, it seems possible that the less powerful conferences might actually be more likely to get more than one representative than the more powerful ones the way things are currently set up.) It is already apparent there is going to be some griping at the end of the year when this all sorts itself out.

Four years ago, we suggested a crazy complete realignment of the conferences that consisted of four 16-team super conferences that were equally balanced (based on an analysis of historical data). You can read it here. We did not publish our complete idea at the time, but we also had designed a way for teams that were "outside" the top 64 programs to play their way into the system, while other teams could fall out if their programs did not perform as well as they needed to through a yearly re-analysis of the programs (using, of course, our program analysis system - you can see the current program rankings here). We're not kidding ourselves to think that our ideas would ever be adopted. They make too much sense in terms of competitiveness and not enough sense in terms of keeping the power and the money with the few programs that already control it.

That being said, we've decided to take another trip to Fantasyland, this time proposing a complete realignment that involves four 12-team conferences, rather than 16 teams. Reducing the number of teams that are "in" to 48 drops some interesting teams out of the mix as far as the current program rankings go, including Louisville, NC State, Maryland, Kansas State, Baylor, Minnesota, Oregon State, Virginia and Kentucky. But remember that those teams would have a chance to play themselves into the system (and based on their performance this year, when the program rankings are recalculated at the end of this year, some of those would likely already move up into the top tier). To this point, they just have not done enough as a program, historically, to be included in our model.

That being said, this is how our proposed alignment turns out under that system. (Remember that the geographic designations are only a general guideline. Some teams may have to travel some in order to engender competitive balance between each of the divisions. And remember that by competitive balance, we don't mean year-to-year, since it is impossible to predict how good any particular program might get in a couple of years, but rather based on the overall historical success of a program, with recent success being weighted greater than distant historical success. Although history cannot predict the future, it can be used to help generate a situation that is more likely to be balanced competitively.):

2014 College Football Rankings - Week 11

Ole Miss still remains #1 in our rankings with two losses. Oregon moves into our top four. And we still have to ask the final four selection committee how they can possibly not have Marshall ranked at all. Sure, they have not played anyone of any significance, but they have beaten everyone they've played handily. They haven't had a close game yet. And that's worth something. We can understand perhaps not including the Thundering Herd in the Top Four because of the weakness of their schedule, but to leave them out of the Top 25 completely? It really doesn't make sense, and smacks of collusion against the teams not included in a top-tier league, especially since our analysis continues to show the Thundering Herd as having a better season than Florida State, who seems to be included in the Top Four despite their own weak schedule because of their accomplishments a season ago and the name recognition associated with their storied past.

2014 College Football Rankings - Week 10

The results for Week 10 are particularly fascinating. Marshall's #4 ranking despite a weak schedule, Florida State's #11 ranking despite being undefeated and Ole Miss being ranked #1 still, despite two last-second losses to top teams seem to actually legitimize each other. If it doesn't factor in strength of schedule enough (Marshall), how do you explain Ole Miss and Florida State? Ole Miss seems to not be penalized very much for playing and losing close games to top teams. Florida State's schedule is weak, and that's the only way to explain their #11 ranking. Marshall's schedule is also weak, but they are beating all of the teams on their schedule by blowout margins - yet it's not enough for them to be ranked over Ole Miss and Auburn, which both have losses when playing tough schedules. Moral of the story - if you are going to play a relatively weak team, you'd better beat them convincingly and as long as you play them close - even if you lose - playing a strong team won't hurt you so it's worth it.:

2014 College Football Rankings - Week 7

What in the world do you do with Marshall? They've blown out everybody on their schedule, but their schedule is full of nobodies. If they continue this through the end of the season, don't they deserve an on-the-field shot to see if they are as good as any other undefeated or one-loss team? They're not just barely winning these games - they're blowing out these teams just like Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Auburn or Baylor would be expected to do.

Here are the week 7 rankings - it's fun to see the  rest of the nation come around to agree with things our analysis showed weeks ago ... that the Mississippi schools are for real this year.

Interesting observation: There are no PAC-12 or Big 10 schools in the Top Ten this week. And it's going to be hard for any of them to climb up there either. Could both of those conferences be left out of the playoff this year?

1. Ole Miss Rebels (6-0) - 1.5
2. Mississippi State Bulldogs (6-0) - 2.4
