What?

You are off from your initial point.

It absolutely matters who you play. It matters how you won. Pure record is not an objective way to measure how good a team is (your words from above).

So in 2022, when us and Georgia were both 6-0, you were like "eh, basically, same"?

Our schedule + how we played = that we are not a top tier team. Anyone with eyes can see that we cannot hang with the best of the best. If we played Ole Miss, they would have 17 sacks before halftime. If we played OSU, they would name their score.

So it matters if you win and the construct is set up that way, if we had won our conference, we're in. But that doesn't mean we are a top tier team. This is crazy.

This isn't as hard as you're making it. All he's saying is that by the end of the season, the W/L records of the top teams is a pretty reliable indicator.

In a 12 team playoff, there will be a number of 2 loss teams that get in. In any given year, there are only a couple undefeated teams, and I think there haven't been more than 3 one-loss teams in about 40 years.

Comparing 6-0 teams - yes, they're going to be of different quality based on quality of opponents - but after playing all 12 games of the regular season, there aren't going to be a bunch of "crappy" undefeated or one-loss teams left.

Yes.

I'm surprised you don't have more imagination that this Scooch. It's no less insane than having a committee that weekly publishes "what would happen if the season were to end today" that then changes it at the last second because you can't exclude the SEC on merit, you have to play convoluted logic games, or having supposedly serious pundits reference future betting lines as a better evaluative criteria than things that actually happened on the field of competition.

Think of how much more interesting the season ranking becomes as the season progresses.

You have a preseason top 25. After the first games, you've only got undefeated teams in it. Oh, you thought you were really good but lost that first game (or one of the first few)? Cool, prove it during the season by winning. The pretenders will fall out. They always do. And if they don't - THAT'S FINE. They're undefeated, which nobody else proved they could do. That should be recognized.

Dude, life is short and I don't have the time or energy to fantasize about wacky college football ranking systems that will never ever ever happen.

But you do you. Knock yourself out.

I just want the SEC to burn.

I just want the SEC to burn.

Sure. Let me know when that happens.
