[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 990160, member: 282"] When you say “but Bama beat UGA”, you’re comparing resumes. Also, you’re just honing in on one example vs the entire season If you were just looking at two teams, then you could look at head to head. but when a team has any losses, you get “UGA beat x who beat y who beat Bama”. There are over 130 teams. “Best” is measuring volume across 12 dimensions (games). Head to head just measures one length. You teach school—would you compare Alice and Bob based on one test, or would you look at all their tests? And all their homework grades? UGA had a better offense through the year and better defense through the year. Ironically, UGA’s problem against Bama is that their best player was injured—similar to FSU. But overall, on any given day, based on their offensive and defensive stats (and game film), you favor UGA over Bama on a neutral field. On the one time they faced off, Bama won. As for resumes: If you want to look at the history, that one time they matched up, then you’re looking at resumes, and Bama comes out ahead—but it’s not all about head to head. They both have a loss, but Bama’s strength of schedule was better, and their wins in aggregate are more impressive than UGA’s. But they still lost to Texas, and that counts against them. So, yeah, you have a yardstick that puts Bama ahead of UGA, but that yardstick puts them behind FSU. You can’t switch yardsticks between comparing teams. Back to being a teacher—you can put together a grading rubric in a bunch of ways. You don’t get hung up on one grade unless your rubric does. Bama got one really good grade, but overall they wouldn’t have a top four grade on most reasonable rubrics. The CFP committee not only got myopic about one grade, but they got hung up on something that wasn’t an emphasis before. If you had put one committee in a room to say “this is how we will grade the teams” and another committee in another room to follow those rules, you don’t get Bama in the top four. You had to have a committee that would bend the rules to get Bama in [/QUOTE]
