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).
