I love Barry Alvarez. I met him at a banquet a couple years ago and he signed a helmet for me and we talked for 10-15 minutes. A buddy of mine works at Wisconsin in the athletic department and i get invited to a practice LY. Coach Alvarez was there and we talked about the playoff and i'm shocked he didn't punch me
I said "Coach you coached college football,you played college football BUT YOU DON'T KNOW MORE ABOUT COLLEGE FOOTBALL THAN I DO"
I think 15 of us could do their job easily.I'm not a fan of the committee or the playoff as a whole. But that's me

The key is a good one.
I actually disagree with the big 12 being underrated. In fact, I think they have been overrated because of the computers.
it has to do with how SOS is computed. The fact is, the Big 12 and SEC have been the worst OOC scheduling conferences for years and it isn't even close. The problem is SOS is supposed to use opponents winning % as a major factor. if these conferences are playing patsies OOC, it boosts their IC SOS. Since the IC SOS is 8 games for the SEC vs 4 OCC it easily trumps OOC. So how do you get a high IC SOS? Play nobody as a conference OOC. The SEC WEST has 4 of the worst OOC scheduling teams in the country. Miss State (1-8) has not beat an OOC power team in the regular season since 1999 5-6 OK state. Ole Miss is 1-7 in the last 20 years, Arkansas is only 5-7 and Texas A&M is notorious for their terrible OOC schedule. They should be relegated to the Sun belt. They are far below the average In terms of GP... which is about 1 per year. imagine if Ole miss and Miss state alone played 1 per year at their winning %, The SEC would get a huge hit in SOS. the fact is that these teams carry a 4-0 into conference play more often than not, not because they are good, but because they rarely play teams with a chance to beat them. Even look at Bama. they refuse to play actual road games OOC. They have played only 5 in 20 years. None since the whopper at sanctioned PSU in 2011. LOL They have ZERO on the future schedule. That is truly pathetic.
What the NCAA needs to do is make a uniform scheduling policy. make it mandatory that each power 5 team plays at least 1 power 5 team OOC, and at least one OOC game on the road vs a power 5 team every 2 years. Get rid of the the D-1aa teams. the Big 12 is not much better. Until they have uniform scheduling rules, SOS is useless. Completely subjective. Sagarin's SOS's make me laugh, I literally think they just make them up.
Exactly, he is a reason that there are so many computer rankin Misgs and they all have different SOS's. I have ben saying this for 10+ years and have totally disregarded the supposed SOS's. Without uniform scheduling rules, SOS is useless. The supposed primary
