re: CFP Playoff Hopefuls Resume Comparison (using 11/12 CFP rankings)

A better comparison could be made by looking at opponent’s records after removing the loss incurred by them if we’re comparing strength of opponents.

For instance, LSU opponent’s record is 47-36. Since we’re comparing their strengths to another team, use 47-27 record total (dropping the 9 losses incurred by playing LSU).

Opp. Record is total record of all opponents minus the losses. eg. LSU opponents record is 47-36. LSU has 9 wins so opponents gained one loss each from playing LSU. Adjusting record is 47-27.

Team: Opp. Record
8-1 Oregon: 50-28 (64%)
9-0 LSU: 47-27 (63%)
9-0 Ohio State: 46-28 (62%)
10-0 Clemson: 45-38 (62%)
9-0 Minnesota: 43-33 (56%)
8-1 Alabama: 40-37 (52%)
8-1 Oklahoma: 36-35 (51%)
