We have the hardest remaining schedule in CFB

Trial and error.

What really pissed me off was when he changed a team's name between season.

If I wasn't getting this öööö for free....

Are they at least consistent within a season?

I don't know all the inner-workings, but just from looking at the output it seems pretty clear that it puts too much weight on recruiting rankings and not enough on recent history / coaching.

The problem with a model like this is that you have to have a starting point for the model and there's no obviously correct place to start. Could start with previous season ranking (like many BCS models), but that's blown up when a team loses key players.

And they're not even accounting for the two top 4 teams we'll have to play at the end of the season.

Our projected W-L is 8.7 - 3.8. For those of you counting, that's 12.5 games. Does compute, apparently, but I don't get it.

The half game is a double-Schrodinger -- neither a game or not, nor a win or not, simultaneously ...

I was under the impression the the CFP committee made their data available to the public in the name of transparency. I thought I read that last year in one of the articles discussing how it would all work or maybe on the CFP website.

Or I could be totally wrong about that.

Their idea of transparency is having the head of the committee do a 7 minute interview on ESPN after the rankings are released each week wherein we're introduced to terms like "game control" and "quality loss."

People are still left to infer their thought process through their vague public statements and last year's decisions.
