Top Four 1978-2015 if All Games are Equal

If the Power Points System were ever adopted, ideally all FBS teams would play equal maximum game regular season schedules versus FBS competition only and all FBS teams would knowingly compete according to its rules. That said, listed below are the top four teams under the Point Points System for all seasons since 1978 without the benefit of equal maximum game regular season schedules, without the benefit of playing FBS competition only, and without the benefit of FBS teams knowingly competing according to the rules in play here. The point here is to demonstrate how the Power Points System fared under the worst possible circumstances. Among the 152 teams listed, 112 made at least one top four of the following methods used by college football: Associated Press Poll, Coaches' Poll, BCS Standings, and CFP Rankings.
