How I Would Rank College Football Teams

Why would the SEC getting props for playing each other early, and why is that something that needs to be encouraged? It's beneficial to rankings (at least historically) to lose earlier rather than later.

Yeah, there would have to be some sort of deduction for playing a non-BCS team. This would take care of the early games and unfairly allowing a team with a weaker schedule to win early then cruise home. Also, another issue is a team like Baylor and Ohio St. I can't bang on Utah State for playing a weak schedule then toss Ohio State and Baylor into the top 10 as soon as they play enough weak teams to qualify.

Main issue I have is if you are a team like utah state and you already have a hard time scheduling bcs teams, now it would be way harder because the bcs schools would all be trying to schedule other bcs schools and would never want to schedule a team like usu.

So the have nots (already at a disadvantage) would be screwed even more and college football would become even more elitist than it already is.

I like waiting for a few weeks before doing any rankings thougb for sure and I don't understand why it has not already happened

Preseason rankings are BS.

Also, I am in favor of the Big 5 breaking off and forming another division.

Not necessarily true. They might have been disqualified from the title game, but they would probably still be eligible for a BCS game. After I get caught up on this year, I do want to look at 1984, 2004, and 2008.

They didn't play the requisite four BCS teams to even be ranked. How would they qualify for a BUS game? Those at large bids are based on ranking.

Because, this rankings is for the playoffs. After the 4 teams are chosen, traditional bowl selections happen. They may or may not have been selected. Like I said, after being in the PAC-12, I don't think non-BCS teams deserve to be in BCS bowls. Especially not the playoffs. No matter how good their ones are, they aren't deep enough to go undefeated. There is too much talent at a Cal/Tenn/TCU, let alone the big dogs.

I posted in another thread, but if you switch Utah and BYU schedule this year, I'd put Utah at 8-0 or 7-1 and BYU at 3-5. Playing ranked teams week in, week out is so different than playing solid teams every 2-3 weeks. Especially when one of your solid teams is Houston...
