Power Points System Dominates the Competition

The Power Points System makes no predictions or best team claims. Yet, in comparison to methods that do, it dominated in bowl picks. Teams ranked highest through regular season play were 29-10 in bowl/playoff games. In comparison, Sagarin favorites were 22-17 straight up. Vegasinsider.com favorites were 20-19. In bowl/playoff games matching disputed higher ranked teams, the PPS beat the selection committee 5 games to 3, beat the AP Poll 6 games to 2, beat the Coaches Poll 5 games to 1, and beat the ESPN Power Poll 6 games to 3.
