Have any posters discussed the possibility of having a mock Playoff Committee ranking, using the published committee procedures to see how they actually play out in practice?

The committee will use the following procedures, after they have done their data analysis:

College Football Playoff Selection Committee

Voting Protocol
1.Each committee member will create a list of the 25 teams he or she believes to be the best in the country, in no particular order. Teams listed by three or more members will remain under consideration.
2.Each member will list the best six teams, in no particular order. The six teams receiving the most votes will comprise the pool for the first seeding ballot.
3.In the first seeding ballot, each member will rank those six teams, one through six, with one being the best. The three teams receiving the fewest points will become the top three seeds. The three teams that were not seeded will be held over for the next seeding ballot.
4.Each member will list the six best remaining teams, in no particular order. The three teams receiving the most votes will be added to the three teams held over to comprise the next seeding ballot.
5.Steps No. 3 and 4 will be repeated until 25 teams have been seeded.

I would be interested in giving this a shot, with 10-12 others if anyone is interested. A quick glance, this process would take 8 separate rounds of seeding to seed a top 25. Obviously, this would require someone with nothing better to do than to stay on the SECRant all Sunday afternoon.

Anybody else interested or am I the only one this weird?



Participants: (ranked in no particular order of course... ) (Bold = Participants have checked back in and verified they will try this out on Sunday)

9. Funky Tide 8
10. chattabama
11. UltimaParadox
12. rolltide32
13.


Also found this in the committees notes. Looks like a procedural mechanism built in when the mathematical procedures do not produce a palpable result.

Notes

E. After the rankings are completed, any group of three or more teams can be reconsidered if more than three members vote to do so. Step No. 3 would be repeated to determine if adjustments should be made.

Oh...oh my God! With the voting being private, this is literally the worst idea in the history of ideas Just thinking about the possible, though admittedly improbable situation for the unthinkable...has me pissed right off.

Forget my disdain for the idea of a committee, if these are the parameters they'll follow then I think this would be a blast. And I'd definitely participate. After the CCGs I think this thread would be loads of fun on the rant or MSB as well. I'd easily be able to calculate and run the thing.

I like your idea

I've only made 1 post since I've been here. This sounds like a good way to increase that number. I'm down

About to call it a night. Will probably be tomorrow afternoon before I check back for anyone else who wants to give this a shot.

Need 7 more to get us to 13...will take 1st 7 responders.
If we don't get enough participants I will post on SECRant for participants from other fanbases.

Participants Below, Please Reply.

Just doing a quick check to make sure all 11 of us are still on board. (Would like 2 more participants as well)


Need to be willing to devote time this Sunday afternoon to give this a shot.

Thanks,

NOTE: I am going to move this to SEC Score Board at 2:00 today...to get additional participants. (Forgot tRant is locked today)

All initial participants have not verified they are still interested so I think we need to move and replace anyone who does not verify by 2:00 today.

The participants in bold are the ones that have verified they are still on board.

If you are listed below and know that you are not going to participate please let me know...that way I will not feel bad about filling your spot.
