All-Conference
I was reading a previous thread about Missouri's schedule and how easy it is. There was a post in there about there not being any SOS formula in the BCS, and honestly I think that is a complete joke. DON’T PUNISH GREAT TEAMS FOR LOSING A CLOSE GAME LATE IN THE SEASON!!!!!!
honestly the preseason polls are what is messing up the BCS, they shouldn't have any polls till the week before conference starts. Now do you think that their should be some sort of a SOS formula in College Football?
I honestly say yes...and here's how it should be based on. First of all you need to come up with a point system (just like High School ball here in Nebraska). Teams in college generally play 13 games, possibly 14 (the way to make this work, conference championship games should be thrown out. Every team plays equal amount of games for the regular season, which is 12) In high school here in Nebraska its 9 (for class A and B) 8 for (C1, C2, D1, D2)
In high school here in nebraska it works like this, they take the final record of everyone and apply a point total to those records. For example
Beating any team that is 7-1 or 6-2 at the end of the year gives you 50 "power points"
Beating a team that is 5-3, 4-4, or 3-5 gives you 45 "power points"
Any thing less than described above is only worth 40.
If you've lost to a team that ends up 8-0, 7-1, or 6-2 the team that lost gets 38 "power points"
If lost to a 5-3, 4-4, or 3-5 team, you get 33 "power Points"
anything less than 3-5, you get 28.
Now applying this simple formula to College Football....what I described earlier, Teams general play 12 games in the regular season, some play 11, but lets just talk about the teams that play 12, just to keep it easy. So lets do this....
Wins vs teams with these records translates to this many points....
11-1 = 60 points
10-2 = 60 points
9-3 = 60 points
8-4 = 55 points
7-5 = 55 points
6-6 = 55 points
5-7 = 50 points
4-8 = 50 points
3-9 = 50 points
2-10 = 45 points
1-11 = 45 points
0-12 = 45 points
Losses vs teams with these records equals this many points
12-0 = 43 points
11-1 = 43 points
10-2 = 43 points
9-3 = 38 points
8-4 = 38 points
7-5 = 38 points
6-6 = 33 points
5-7 = 33 points
4-8 = 33 points
3-9 = 28 points
2-10 = 28 points
1-11 = 28 points
--------------------------------------------------------- Are you with me so far?
After the regular season is completed you would then take the total points each team earned and divide it by 12, take that average and apply it accordingly. Now for kicks and giggles lets just take the LSU and NU schedules for example last year, just to give you an idea of what it would look like.
LSU’s Schedule looked like this (teams finished regular season record)
W - Miss State 7-5 = 55 points
W - Virginia Tech 10-2 = 60 points
W - Middle Tenn 5-7 = 50 points
W - South Carolina 6-6 = 55 points
W – Tulane 4-8 = 50 points
W – Florida 9-3 = 60 points
L – Kentucky 7-5 = 38 points
W – Auburn 8-4 = 55 points
W – Alabama 6-6 = 55 points
W - Louisiana Tech 5-7 = 50 points
W - Ole Miss 3-9 = 50 points
L – Arkansas 8-4 = 38 points
Total Points accumulated = 616
Point Average = 51.333
Nebraska’s Schedule
W – Nevada 6-6 = 55 points
W – Wake Forest 8-4 = 55 points
L – USC 10-2 = 43 points
W – Ball State 7-5 = 55 points
W – Iowa State 3-9 = 50 points
L – Missouri 11-1 = 43 points
L – Okie State 6-6 = 33 points
L – Texas A&M 7-5 = 38 points
L – Texas 9-3 = 38 points
L – Kansas 11-1 = 43 points
W- Kansas St 5-7 = 50 points
L – Colorado 6-6 = 33 points
Total Points Accumulated = 536
Point Average = 44.667
After you list greatest average to lowest average that will give you eachs strength of schedule...implement it into the BCS formula!
