Power Points System 101

Under the Power Points System, teams are placed most to least:

1-Power Points (Games Won Opponents' Wins - Games Lost Opponents' Losses)
2-Net Wins (Wins - Losses)
3-Schedule Strength (Opponents' Power Points)
4-Net Points (Points For - Points Against)

If the Power Points System is used, the best case scenario would involve all FBS teams knowingly competing according to its rules while playing equal maximum game regular season schedules versus FBS competition only. The Power Points System defines best/most valuable season. It does NOT attempt to identify or quantify the best team. If there is a best team, it is the responsibility of that team to accomplish what is most valuable according to the rules of the Power Points System to achieve the desired standing. Being a better team is simply a competitive advantage and does not entitle a team to place higher in the standings for that reason. Essentially, the college football season is a game and the objective of the game per this system's rules is to accumulate more points than the other teams by scheduling and beating winners. Also, like all competitions, especially those that only use facts to determine their standings, there is no guarantee that more difficult accomplishments (which are a matter of opinion) will be more valuable accomplishments under the rules. Ultimately, the Power Points System's purpose is to determine playoff qualifiers and seeds.
