re: True, Mizzou would beat Ole Miss tomorrow. Also true, the Playoff Committee is a joke.

Okay, what rules? Does SOS matter? How is SOS determined? Margin of victory? Sounds like you're saying we put it in the hands of algorithms.


That’s exactly what we should do. Literally any concrete rules would work. It could be a single metric, it could be a combination. The key is that is consistency and transparency.

There should not be a human element dictating these things in the middle of the season. Narratives, money, and bias affect human decision making.

Look at the conferences, look at the NFL, look at high school. The rules are set before the season and there is never any controversy.

Nobody has an issue with Iowa being in the Big 10 championship game because THEMS THE RULES

I get what you're saying. But the NFL has a high number of teams that make the playoffs, especially relative to the total number of teams. They also have parity.

In theory I'd be good with AI making these decisions.. when it's ready. The hated "eyeball test" is still superior in 2023. In a few years it'll be different. Especially if the top 40 teams break away from the NCAA
