Thanks for following along today! Always a fun day, and today was especially fascinating to be a part of. It is now of course time to turn to @Brett_McMurphy and @FBSchedules to watch the rest of the bowl schedule get filled in!
Liberty ends up as the top-ranked non-power conference champion, giving them the final berth in both hypothetical 12-teams playoffs from the @CFBPlayoff committee and simulated #BCS:
The remaining New Year's Six matchups (Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, and Peach) and complete CFP Top 25 rankings will be officially announced beginning at 2:30pm ET on ESPN.
College Football Playoff Semifinals Monday, January 1, 2024 Rose Bowl Game (4) Alabama vs. (1) Michigan 5:00pm ET | ESPN Allstate Sugar Bowl (3) Texas vs. (2) Washington 8:45pm ET | ESPN
The simulated #BCS and @CFBPlayoff disagree this year. Which four-team playoff would you have preferred?
The final #BCS rankings came out on 12/8/13. And yet, in every year since then the “BCS” was able to accurately predict the 4 teams the @CFBPlayoff committee chose for its 4-team playoff. That streak ends today. The committee choses Texas at No. 3.
In each of the last nine seasons the simulated #BCS top-4 has accurately projected the @CFBPlayoff teams. The top four simulated #BCS teams this year are: Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Florida State
The Coaches Poll is out: 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Florida State 4t. Texas 4t. Alabama 6. Georgia 7. Ohio State 8. Oregon 9. Missouri 10. Penn State 11. Ole Miss 12. Oklahoma sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/ncaaf…
Alabama and Texas have tied for the No. 4 spot in the Coaches Poll with 1,351 points each: sportsdata.usatoday.com/football/ncaaf…
Anyway, my biggest beef with the CFP selection process is that we leave the decision in the hands of a room of semi-random people with clear conflicts of interest, allowing legitimate skepticism for whatever decision they make 🗣️BRING BACK THE COMPUTERS

With all six computer available we can also compare the average ranking by team across the six systems. Here's that look — a top 12 with some interesting sorting:
We've now got all six of the national computer rankings in. Here's their respective opinions on a season-end college football top 12:
Sagarin's final rankings are out: 1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 3. Alabama 4. Georgia 5. Texas 6. Oregon 7. Penn State 8. Oklahoma 9. LSU 10. Washington 11. Notre Dame 12. Florida State #BCS
The AP Poll is out: 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Florida State 5. Alabama 6. Georgia 7. Ohio State 8. Oregon 9. Missouri 10. Penn State 11. Ole Miss 12. Oklahoma apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-…

Just so our friends at @BCSKnowHow don't feel too bad about missing one (for the first time!), I re-ran the 2001 formula, which had added components: schedule strength, penalties for losses (hey, Alabama), and bonuses for quality wins. Michigan, Washington, Alabama, Texas.
@TylerVesely @ReadyCFB No. This is actually bad. The current iterations of the old BCS computers, for the most part, don't care about game results. Massey/Sagarin/Wolfe only care about in-game performance now. Very different than their old BCS formulas. @BCSKnowHow
@BCSKnowHow @CFBPlayoff Actually the BCS bracket is the correct one as the "committee" would swap PSU with Mizz or Ole Miss to avoid any conference rematches in the first round.
I rarely toot my own horn, but I think I deserve props for this.
Update: Michigan: CFP OSU: Fiesta (/Cotton) PSU: Peach Iowa: Citrus NW: Las Vegas Maryland: Music City Wisconsin: ReliaQuest (formerly known as Outback) Rutgers: Pinstripe Minn: Quick Lane
The old BCS computer formula would’ve put Bama and FSU in and left Texas out. Which would’ve made us all mad too, but at least it would be backed up by numbers and not a room of suits saying “look, we just think this team is better”
And finally, to wrap us up, here's the final side-by-side of the simulated #BCS and the just released @CFBPlayoff top-25s for this season:
@BCSKnowHow @Brett_McMurphy @FBSchedules Thank you for the work you do 💪🏻
The funny thing is the BCS would have had Texas out of the top 4, not Alabama.
The final #BCS rankings came out on 12/8/13. And yet, in every year since then the “BCS” was able to accurately predict the 4 teams the @CFBPlayoff committee chose for its 4-team playoff. That streak ends today. The committee choses Texas at No. 3.
For those of you that don't remember the BCS era of college football, this year is the only year that the BCS rankings disagreed with the CFP - That's every year they have matched up except this one.
Here it is, what we’ve all been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. The BCS chooses Florida State at No. 4 by the slimmest of margins. Will the @CFBPlayoff follow suit?
All good things come to an end.
In each of the last nine seasons the simulated #BCS top-4 has accurately projected the @CFBPlayoff teams. The top four simulated #BCS teams this year are: Michigan, Washington, Alabama and Florida State
@mikegolicjr Not yet. Current BCS Standings: (from @BCSKnowHow)
The BCS has always matched the final 4 teams (not always the same order) in history. Will that end today?
Here it is, what we’ve all been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. The BCS chooses Florida State at No. 4 by the slimmest of margins. Will the @CFBPlayoff follow suit?
In last 9 years, BCS formula has correctly mirrored same teams ultimately picked by the committee. If so, Bama & FSU in, Texas out👀
Here it is, what we’ve all been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. The BCS chooses Florida State at No. 4 by the slimmest of margins. Will the @CFBPlayoff follow suit?
Thanks to @BCSKnowHow for putting this together every week. I would guess the committee doesn’t put these 4 in. And it’ll be the first time the BCS and Committee disagree.
Here it is, what we’ve all been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. The BCS chooses Florida State at No. 4 by the slimmest of margins. Will the @CFBPlayoff follow suit?
The simulated BCS standings have had the same four teams as the CFP committee in every year of the playoff era. Will this hold true today? BCS Standings 1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Alabama 4. Florida State
Here it is, what we’ve all been waiting for — the season-ending simulated #BCS rankings. The BCS chooses Florida State at No. 4 by the slimmest of margins. Will the @CFBPlayoff follow suit?
@BCSKnowHow Will the CFP's "injury clause" be reflected in your projection?
@BCSKnowHow @CFBPlayoff Nooooo the streak is dead in the final year 🥲
Anyway, my biggest beef with the CFP selection process is that we leave the decision in the hands of a room of semi-random people with clear conflicts of interest, allowing legitimate skepticism for whatever decision they make 🗣️BRING BACK THE COMPUTERS
In the 1990s, college football had a wild idea: Use computer rankings as part of the championship selection process. EVERYBODY hated it. Sports math has gotten better, while CFB’s committee has shown obvious biases. It’s time to reconsider The Computers. theringer.com/2021/12/3/2281…
Ohio State and Michigan 1-2 (in either order) in performance-based computer rankings is a near-universal trend.
Sagarin's final rankings are out: 1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 3. Alabama 4. Georgia 5. Texas 6. Oregon 7. Penn State 8. Oklahoma 9. LSU 10. Washington 11. Notre Dame 12. Florida State #BCS
I’d pay attn o these BCS rankings
