Since 1978, only 173 mid-major or nonBCS teams controlled their destiny for a top two regular season finish in the Power Points Standings. That is, each of these teams would have finished in the top two if they had won all of their games and all other results remained unchanged. Listed below is each season’s highest ranked team (based on PPS) among this group along with their FBS record and regular season finishes in the Power Points Standings and AP poll respectively.

Wildcard Simulation
Suppose a 16-team playoff with auto bids becomes a reality. How would the wildcard berths be determined? By objective or subjective means? Listed below are the number of wildcard teams agreed on by the Power Points System and the Associated Press poll for each season since 1978. For the purposes of this post, only current FBS members were considered. Furthermore, the highest ranked member of each conference in the Power Points Standings based on current membership served as automatic qualifiers. This is done to eliminate 11 teams that would qualify no matter how the wildcard teams are determined. From here, the top five remaining teams in both systems are compared. For each season, the teams that the systems disagreed on are listed in parentheses with the teams favored by the Power Points System listed first. The systems agreed on 119 of 151 wildcards (over 31 seasons) which is five teams short of a four out of five average.

Championship Games
Listed below are the title game matchups under three different scenarios as determined by the Power Points System. The first scenario matches the top two teams overall. The second matches the top two teams from among all conference champions and the highest ranked independent. The third matches the top two conference champions only. Whenever the Power Points System disagreed with the AP poll, the latter’s preference is listed in parentheses. The number listed indicates the fewest games removed from matching the AP or BCS. For example, the result of one game can be changed in 1984 and produce a match in the first scenario. Ideally, teams should play equal game regular season schedules versus FBS competition only. The results below are based on FBS games only but without the benefit of equal game schedules. As such, teams that played more games had a competitive advantage. Teams on probation were not considered and an optional rule guaranteeing that all head-to-head winners with more valuable records ranked higher than the opponents they defeated was applied.

Mid-Majors (NonBCS) and the Top Two
Listed below are the number of mid-major (nonBCS) teams for each season that played schedules that would have earned them a top two regular season finish in the Power Points Standings had they posted an unbeaten season and all other results remained unchanged. The purpose of this post is to demonstrate just how rare it is for mid-major (nonBCS) teams to meet the scheduling requirements necessary to compete for a top two finish in an equitable objective ranking system while competing within a subjectively driven system that does not define its scheduling requirements for mid major teams nor create an incentive for strong BCS teams to play strong nonBCS teams while insisting the latter schedule the former.

Power Points System's NCAA Tournament Field
Here is the 2009 NCAA Tournament Field if determined by the Power Points System. The field includes the 31 automatic qualifiers plus the top 34 remaining teams in the Power Points Standings. The number to the left is each team’s overall finish in the Power Points Standings. The numbers to the right are each team’s seed according to the Power Points System and the NCAA selection committee respectively (NS = no seed). The six teams selected by the NCAA that would not have qualified according to the Power Points System are listed below the field of 65. The average seed difference for the 59 teams that qualified under both formats is 1.26.

Arizona Cardinals and the BCS
It comes as no surprise to me that playoff opponents have adopted the Arizona Cardinals as the poster child for their stand against college football instituting an expanded playoff system. Their argument is that allowing the college football equivalent of the Arizona Cardinals to qualify for the playoffs and “just get hot” over a four week stretch would severely undermine the importance of the regular season. I believe this argument is disingenuous due to the odds against this ever occurring. Let me be clear that my preference for a 16-team playoff is not about any desire to see the college equivalent of the Arizona Cardinals succeed in winning the national title. I’m simply not bothered by the possibility given the probable path any such team would face in doing so.
That said, among the problems with using the Arizona Cardinals in their fight against a college playoff is that playoff opponents project the NFL format on to college football. However, the NFL format makes it easier for a 9-7 team to make the playoffs and reach the Super Bowl than it needs to. For example, if the NFL playoffs included the top 12 teams straight up, the Arizona Cardinals could have only been the 12th overall seed if they made the playoffs at all. Assuming the NFL still used a flexible bracket, Arizona’s path to the Super Bowl would have included games at the five seed, one seed, and two seed in that order assuming no upsets but their own. The Cardinals would have had no chance of hosting a playoff game much less the two home games afforded to them under the NFL format. While NFL may not be inclined to change its format for its own reasons, the point is that a format exists that would make things much more difficult for a 9-7 team to make the playoffs and reach the Super Bowl. As it is, the Arizona Cardinals are only one of two 9-7 teams to reach the Super Bowl. The other is the 1979 Los Angeles Rams. Given that only two 9-7 teams have ever reached the Super Bowl with neither winning, I doubt any NFL team (except, perhaps, the Detroit Lions) would take a 9-7 record if offered to them before the start of the season.
As for college football, the 9-4 ACC Champion Virginia Tech Hokies have been offered as the college equivalent of the Arizona Cardinals. If I applied my desired playoff format to this past season while including the official conference champions, Virginia Tech would have been a 13 seed. As such, the Hokies’ probable path to the national title would have included games at Utah, at Oklahoma, at Texas, and versus Florida on a neutral site. Since I-A was established in 1978, only nine teams (based on power points standings) have even beaten two top four teams in the same season. Under my proposed format, Virginia Tech would have to beat the top four teams consecutively including three on the road assuming no upsets but their own. If we accept Virginia Tech as the college equivalent of the Arizona Cardinals, we might only expect two such teams to even reach the title game every 43 years. Of course, that does not account for the fact that the Hokies will not benefit from two home games like the Arizona Cardinals did nor the fact that college football’s parity is unlikely to ever mirror the NFL’s. As such, there is no reason to believe that any college football team that expects to compete for the national title would ever settle for a 13 seed based on the ridiculous implication offered by playoff opponents that “just getting hot” against the top four teams is such a simple task that college football should deny that possibility even at the expense of several teams with equal or fewer losses than the two teams voted into a championship game.

2008 FCS Season
I followed the FCS season this year in order to see how the Power Points System compares to the NCAA selection committee. Since FCS teams do not play equal game schedules versus FCS competition only, I modified the rules to account for interdivisional play. This only amounted to assigning substitute values for higher and lower classification opponents respectively based on their combined efforts. For example, FBS teams posted an 85-2 record versus FCS teams. Projected over 12 games, all FBS opponents are treated as a 12-0 FCS team. Lower division opponents finished 15-87 versus FCS competition and each is treated as equal to a 2-10 FCS team. No modifications were made to account for unequal game schedules.
Although my desired playoff format determines automatic qualifiers in a different manner than the actual conferences, this comparison includes the actual automatic qualifiers (eight) plus the top remaining teams (eight). Listed below is the 2008 FCS playoff field if determined by the Power Points System. Teams are listed highest to lowest national standing followed by their order amongst each other in the media poll.
1-James Madison 1
2-Appalachian State 2
3-South Carolina State 12
4-Montana 5
5-Villanova 6
6-Cal Poly 3
7-Wofford 8
8-Richmond 7
9-Northern Iowa 4
10-New Hampshire 10
11-Southern Illinois 9
12-Eastern Kentucky 15
13-Weber State 11
14-Liberty 13
15-Colgate 14
16-Texas State 16
The NCAA committee selected Maine over Liberty making this the only disagreement over qualifiers between the two methods. That said, based on my desired playoff format, Montana and Northern Iowa would have replaced Weber State and Southern Illinois respectively as their conference’s automatic qualifiers. Furthermore, for those playoff opponents that insist a large playoff will allow teams to rest their starters in the final weekend, only four teams had clinched playoff berths under my proposed format entering the final weekend and three of these teams had two to three home playoff games at stake. James Madison had the least to lose in the final weekend. The worst fate for the Dukes would have been a three seed if they had lost their final game and Cal Poly beat Wisconsin thereby costing them a guaranteed home game in the semifinal round.

a. Power Points (Games Won Opponents’ Wins - Games Lost Opponents’ Losses)
b. Net Wins ( Wins - Losses)
c. Schedule Strength (Opponents’ Power Points)
d. Net Points (Points For - Points Against)
3-16 teams qualify for the playoffs (11 conference champions plus five wildcards).
4-Each conference’s automatic berth is awarded to the team with the best conference record. If there is a tie, the highest ranked team in the national standings per the rules described above is awarded the automatic berth.
5-The top five teams in the national standings that do not win their conference’s automatic berth are awarded the five wildcard berths.
6-The 16 playoff qualifiers are seeded highest to lowest national standing.
7-First round pairings are 1-16, 2-15, 3-14, 4-13, 5-12, 6-11, 7-10, and 8-9. Subsequent round pairings match the highest and lowest advancing seeds, second highest and second lowest, and so on.
8-Higher seeded teams host all playoff games through the first three rounds. The national title game is held at a neutral site.

Power Points System
Teams place most to least:
1-Power Points (Games Won Opponents' Wins - Games Lost Opponents' Losses)
2-Net Wins (Wins - Losses)
3-Schedule Strength (Opponents' Power Points)
4-Net Points (Points For - Points Against)
Ideally, if this system is used, all FBS teams will play equal game regular season schedules versus FBS competition only and the final regular season results will be used to determine playoff qualifiers, seeds, and pairings.
