[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 982588, member: 6771"] Yes, but you can control for bias in objective metrics. It may be to remove the SOS component or mitigate it down so that the *perceptions* of SECheat teams doesn't unfairly impact the result. The unintended consequence of that might be that teams can play weaker OOC schedules. The SECheat already does this, so might the rest. The truth will be when a team that's puffed itself up with a weaker schedule faces an actual good team in the playoffs. That will sort itself out on the field. See, this is my observation: Committees and administrators constantly have the urge to fix things - it's a function of the human condition that seeks control, IMPO. We don't really need that if our focus is to get to a champion. It should be understood that certain factors will arise that allow what we consider to be a bit lesser team and that we don't have to fix that. Those things will get fixed on the field of play, as they should. Example: FSU 2023. The problem is, as we discussed [I]ad nauseum[/I] yesterday, that the goal of the committee is not a true championship won by conference champions on the field, it is to have the best TV ratings leading to the most money ($$$) that can possibly be manipulated out. Money is the driver, not a championship won on the field. That is purely incidental. So, you put together an algorithm, mitigate the bias as best you can, let everyone know how this is being determined so everyone is informed and there are no back room deals, and let the programs have at it. The thing cranks out what it cranks out and you have your playoff where "lesser teams" often win. Didn't any of you guys watch Hoosiers? :p [/QUOTE]
