What Matters?

Since 1978, teams that finished the regular season with one loss (no ties) and ranked in the final AP Poll met during the regular season 26 times. Under the Power Points System, schedule is everything. That said, I compared the Power Points System and the AP Poll to determine how often the head-to-head winner, schedule strength winner, and first to lose winner ranked highest individually and in combination. The results are below.


POWER POINTS SYSTEM
Schedule Strength Winner 26-0
Head-to-Head Winner 17-9
First to Lose Winner 15-11

HTH and SS winners 17-0
FTL and SS winners 15-0
FTL and HTH winners 9-3

FTL, HTH, and SS winners 9-0

Top 12: AP Poll, Power Points, and Percentages

When all teams have played an equal number of games, combining a team's winning percentage and opponents' winning percentage will produce the same standings as the Power Points System. When all teams have not played an equal number of games, the two systems will produce different standings with the Power Points System (PPS) favoring teams that play more games and the Winning Percentage System (WPS) favoring teams that play fewer games. Listed below are the number of AP top 12 teams that finished the regular season ranked in the top 12 of the PPS or WPS for each season since 1978. The AP rank of the teams that did not finish in the top 12 of either the PPS or WPS are listed after the dash.

Round 1: Objectivity vs. Subjectivity

The Power Points System is not a predictive system nor does it make any claims about which teams are better than others. It is simply a rules system that ranks teams according to the value of their season based on the chosen criteria. Simply put, higher ranked teams are not predicted to beat lower ranked teams nor are they said to be better teams. Their seasons are simply more valuable under the prescribed rules.

That said, higher seeded teams in the Power Points System's (PPS) statistical equivalent are 26-6 through the first round of the NCAA tournament. Higher seeds according to the NCAA selection committee (SC) are 22-10. There have been six games where the two systems disagreed on the higher seed and the PPS holds a 5-1 advantage in those games. The two systems share five upset losses and the PPS seeded the game closer in four of the five.

Also, with the NCAA considering expanding its tournament to 96 teams which would presumably include 32 teams having byes, the two systems agreed on 25 of the top 32 teams. Where they disagreed, the PPS Seven finished 4-3 in the first round with all three losses to other PPS top 32 teams and only one loss qualifying as an upset in the PPS. The SC Seven finished 1-6 in the first round with all six losses qualifying as upsets according to the SC's own seeds.

50/50 and 60/40

When all teams have played an equal number of games, the Power Points System will be equal to a 50/50/0 version of college basketball's Ratings Percentage Index. The original version of the RPI is 25% winning percentage, 50% opponents' winning percentage, and 25% opponents' opponents' winning percentage. When teams have not played an equal number of games, competitive advantages/disadvantages result. The Power Points System favors teams that have played more games while the revised RPI favors teams that have played fewer games. I determined the top two teams (minimum 10 FBS games played) for the Power Points System and the revised RPI for the past 32 seasons. The results that came closest to matching the AP poll or BCS Standings are listed below with games removed from a match listed in parentheses. The results for a 60/40/0 version of the Power Points System and revised RPI also follow. For the 60/40 version of the Power Points System, each win and loss is worth an additional 2.75 points in 11 game seasons and an additional 3.00 points in 12 game seasons ('02-03, '06-09).

Top Two Worthy Seasons

Listed below are the number of seasons each program had from 1978-2009 that would have earned a top two regular season finish and title game berth in at least one of those 32 seasons. The numbers to the right represent the total number of top two worthy seasons under the Power Points System and Associated Press Poll respectively. For purposes here, AP Poll totals are determined by assigning equal value to equal finishes in a given year. For example, the top seven teams in the 2009 Power Points Standings had top two worthy seasons. Therefore, it is assumed that the top seven teams in the 2009 AP Poll did likewise.

Based on these numbers, the top 12 programs account for 126 and 123 of 198 top two worthy seasons under the Power Points System and AP Poll respectively. 48 different programs at had least one top two worthy season under each ranking system. Under the Power Points System, 39 AQ schools account for 181 seasons and nine nonAQ schools account for 17 seasons. Under the AP Poll, 44 AQ schools account for 190 seasons and four nonAQ schools account for 8 seasons. The systems agreed on 156 of 198 top two worthy seasons.

The Sandbagging Lie

The assertion that a playoff system leads to teams benching starters in the final weeks of the regular season is not new. Nevertheless, the BCS propaganda machine has renewed this charge by pointing to the Indianapolis Colts as a prime example of what we can expect from an expanded college football playoff. These people are liars or idiots or both. A playoff system, no matter its size, is not responsible for sandbagging. The decision to rest starters in late season games happens when a team has clinched a playoff berth plus all possible home games and there are no significant competitive advantages to be gained or lost.

Fewer teams plus more games allows for greater separation in the standings which leads to increased opportunities for teams to bench their starters for inconsequential games. If the NFL only had a two-team playoff, the Colts would have still been able to bench its starters, lose its final two games, and suffer no consequences having already clinched a playoff berth even with the limited field. The NFL's 12-team format did not create the situation. Therefore, BCS supporters are either lying when they argue that an expanded playoff system will lead to sandbagging or they are too ignorant to understand these situations are not created by a playoff system.

Of course, the Colts are not the only example of sandbagging in the final weeks of the regular season. The Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and San Diego Chargers could all be accused of this practice in the final weekend. Whether or not these teams are guilty as charged, the fact remains that these teams plus the Colts had little or nothing riding on the outcome of their final game. As a college football playoff supporter, I would hate to see six playoff bound teams taking their final game off because they have nothing to gain or lose. However, as I alluded to above, this happens more often with fewer teams especially when the pool of teams in direct competition with each other is reduced by a conference and/or division format.

What if the NFL did not have its conference/division format and operated as a single 32-team division with the top 12 teams qualifying for the playoffs, the top four teams earning byes, and the top two teams guaranteed homefield advantage throughout the playoffs? What impact would this have on sandbagging? I placed the 32 teams according their final records with best current streak and net points serving as the first and second tiebreakers in order to offer an example of the potential reduction in sandbagging minus the conference/division format. The hypothetical playoff field is listed below. Listed with each team is its final record, current streak, and best and worst possible seeds entering the final weekend.

1-Indianapolis (14-2) (L2) (1-1)
2-San Diego (13-3) (W11) (2-5)
3-New Orleans (13-3) (L3) (1-3)
4-Minnesota (12-4) (W1) (3-10)
5-Dallas (11-5) (W3) (4-10)
6-Green Bay (11-5) (W2) (5-10)
7-Philadelphia((11-5) (L1) (3-9)
8-New England (10-6) (L1) (4-10)
9-Arizona (10-6) (L1) (4-10)
10-Cincinnati (10-6) (L1) (4-10)
11-Houston (9-7) (W4) (11-E)
12-Pittsburgh (9-7) (W3) (11-E)

Under this format compared to the actual format, only one top two seed had been clinched compared to two, only one top four seed had been clinched compared to three, and only three top eight seeds had been clinched compared to seven. As for the six teams charged with sandbagging, only the Colts had nothing to gain or lose on the final weekend under this format versus the current structure. However, the remaining five teams would have had much greater stakes than they did in the real world. San Diego would have been playing to secure a first round bye with the potential for homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. New Orleans would have been playing to secure homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. New England, Arizona, and Cincinnati would have been playing for a first round home game with the potential for a first round bye.

Without the conference/division format, only one team compared to six had nothing to gain or lose in the final weekend. This same format applied to the previous 22 seasons only produced eight more teams like the Colts. That means that 267 of 276 playoff teams over the past 23 seasons under the one 32-team division format had one or more of the following to gain or lose in the final weekend: a playoff berth, a first round bye, and/or one or more home games. In some instances, the stakes for a single team ranged from a top two seed to missing the playoffs altogether. Of course, I would not expect the NFL to drop its conference/division format nor is their choice in the matter relevant. The point is that the NFL's structure, not the size of its playoff, is to blame for the increased opportunties for sandbagging.

What does this mean for college football? Given that college football has 120 teams compared to the NFL's 32 and teams play 12-13 games compared to 16, there is much less potential for teams to separate themselves in the standings. If my proposed playoff format included the top 16 teams, based on the final Power Points Standings, only five out of 512 playoff teams over the past 32 seasons would have had nothing at stake in their final game. Furthermore, all five teams played one more game than most teams. The extra game is a potentially significant advantage under the Power Points System. Therefore, it is fair to suggest that fewer than five teams would have clinched everything if all teams had played equal game regular season schedules. That said, given that all five teams were top two seeds, which guarantees homefield advantage throughout the playoffs under my proposed format, excluding teams that lose their final game from earning a top two seed is a possible remedy to further reduce or even eliminate the potential for sandbagging. If I applied this rule to the past 32 seasons, all 512 teams would have had something to gain or lose based on the outcome of their final game.

Once again, a playoff system, no matter its size, is not responsible for sandbagging and the people that continue to assert otherwise are frauds.
