Group of Five Teams Need Objectivity

The chart below lists the number of top one finishes through top 20 finishes for non-power league teams under five different ranking methods from 1978 to 2013. The five methods in order are the Associated Press Poll, the Power Points System, the Power Points System with major teams spotted a one game lead, the Net Wins System which is a best record wins method, and the Net Wins System with major teams spotted a one game lead. The results below show that even objective methods that spot major teams a one game advantage are more favorable to non-power teams than a purely subjective method.
