Why on earth is this archaic nonsense still a thing. American media has been so polarized across the board. No clue why we can’t simply come up with a clear system that tabulates key factual metrics and gives each individual team an offensive, defensive, & X factor ( str. of schedule, turnover percentage, special teams, etc… ) score .

Then rank teams accordingly.

It’s not like we are lacking in analytical capacities in modern sports.

Why give meaningless nimrods a sounding board, much less give them any credence.

Fück these bums.

Alex Taylor needs to lose his vote.

Let's take a quick look at his latest article about the Wyoming Cowboys. Here are the reasons for the poor start.
1. Injury bug
2. Tough slate
3. Offense needs consistency
4. Defense needs to limit big plays
5. Durr emerging - this is their 3 star true freshman from Chicago.

So his expert takes on their record is that they need to score more and prevent the other team from scoring as much.

Taylor column: Five takeaways from Cowboys' 1-4 start

Jay Sawvel expected to be in a much different place going into the University of Wyoming’s first bye of the season.

Yeah, Alex Taylor is the lone wolf who needs his/her vote yanked. Unfortunate that the Tribune Eagle saw to remove Alex from the rodeo beat.

Go back to BCS with the 12 team playoff.

It missed the top 2 a few times but with 7 selections… at least there’s logic. At large teams 4-5-6-7 likely have no chance regardless
 
so...the range is #3 to #16, clustering 4-7. The question in their mind is who the Miami Hurricanes are. The answer is...

Win. Just keep winning. Love the fight in this team. The grit. Hard to measure, but easy to see. Just win and everything takes care of itself.

How exactly are you going to come up with a system "that tabulates key factual metrics" when there are 130 teams in 11 different conferences and many of those conferences are top heavy in talent while others are not ?

A clear example where you are not measuring apples to apples would be taking the metrics for our Canes and comparing them to a team with a schedule such as UF has. The competition is clearly different and measuring metrics would not be just.

Let me preface this by saying that I am certainly not a data scientist & in fact much closer to a mouth breathing grunt than a desk jockey.

Certainly, you have a good point and by no means am I begging for the bizarro BCS computer büllshït we dealt with in 2000 ( insert goku raging spontaneous combustion gif here ).

It wouldn’t be an easy task ( for me ) to spell out, but some big brains could find a series of metrics that calculate key indicators while simultaneously leveraging concrete data like strength of schedule, w/l record, margin of victory vs fbs opponents ( I’m for tossing out all non fbs data within my fictional pie in the sky cfb / I’m also in favor of droid officiating fwiw )…

Then layering in the critical statistics that have proven to be the most indicative of success and failure. ( I could go on, but this is already too gasbaggy for my taste )

In the long run I feel data based analytics will help clarify the overall picture much better than a buncha biased old fuddy duddies pretending to be college football gate keepers that NO ONE asked for.

We had that, it was called the BCS computers and lord if you don't know you don't wanna know. If you weren't there for it be thankful you weren't there for it.

Negative Friend

I reiterate the fact that I am not requesting to run that back.

That was a nonsensical algorithm that cooked a soufflé when you ordered an omelette. This would not be that in my cfb Shangri-La.

Note : if I wasn’t there for the BCS BS why would I have mentioned it in the first place?
 
If college basketball can do the NET rating CFB can figure out their own version of it
