I want to discuss scheduling in a serious manner. That is, I don’t want to get bogged down with “should teams be allowed to play FCS teams?”. There are 134 FBS teams for 2024. The probability of say a #10 team beating FBS team 120-134 is ~99%. . The probability of a #10 team beating FCS team is ~99.99%. The probability of a #10 team beating a high school team is ~99.9999%. For the top 10 team that’s less than 1% difference between the odds of beating an FBS team 120-134 and a high school team. Conversely, the probability of the #10 team beating the #1 team is MUCH lower than the probability of the #10 team beating the #11 team (a difference of only 10 ranking positions). The “strength of schedule” is at the top of the schedule and NOT at the bottom.
What factors do you think the CFP committee should stress/look-at in ranking teams? How should “uneven” scheduling between candidates be handled? Auto-bids in a 12 team field, really??
