re: CFB Mock Playoff Ranking (In SECR. 1st Semi set...Bama vs. FSU)

Just went back and read procedures.

List of steps so we can start getting a better idea of steps/time involved and once we get participants lined up we can better decide how far we want to take it each week.

Steps:

1. Each participant submits top 25.
2. Any team that is on more than 3 submissions is put on the "master" list
3. Each participant submits his top 6 from the master list...in random order.
4. The 6 teams receiving the most votes in step 3 will then comprise the "1st Seeding Ballot"
5. Each participant will then rank the teams on the 1st seeding ballot.
6. From step #5, we will get seeds #1, #2, & #3.
7. The 3 remaining teams from the 1st seed ballot are automatically placed on the "2nd seeding ballot"
8. Each participant submits the 6 best teams from the master list...and so on.

Once the 1st 9 seeds are placed...the actual committee is going to go to 8 teams on the seeding ballot and place 4 teams in seeds each round and I think we need to do the same.

Rounds:
1. Seeds #1, #2, & #3
2. Seeds #4, #5, & #6
3. Seeds #7, #8, & #9
4. Seeds #10, #11, #12, and #13
5. Seeds #14, #15, #16, and #17
6. Seeds #18, #19, #20, and #21
7. Seeds #22, #23, #24, and #25

I can see us being ok stopping around round 4 or 5, especially the 1st time we try it.


Yes, it will be time consuming and definitely not something that is going to be easily done in this forum...so we will need to make sure we all understand that going in.

We don't really have to set a number, as to how far we are going to take it. We may be better served to go into our 1st attempt with the agreement that we will go at least as far as the first 13 seeds...see how long that takes, then if we want to take it further we can...or just stop.


ETA: To correct numbers since I apparently can not count to 10
