My Playoff Revisited

So yesterday I introduced my idea for what seemed to be a fair playoff system for college football. Now I'd like to tweak things a little bit.

I looked at how teams were seeded in the tournament and wasn't a big fan of it. So I have come up with my own equation. It's simple. (Strength of Schedule + Winning Percentage) It's similar to the OPS percentage in baseball (On Base + Slugging)

Here's the math:
Georgia .647+.800
Texas .626+.900
Oklahoma .626+.900
Florida State .600+.780
Florida .593+.890
Texas Tech .571+1.000
Pitt .565+.780
Missouri .527+.800
USC .500+.890
Penn State .494+.900
Alabama .434+1.000
Boise State .467+1.000
Cincinnati .532 + .780
Oregon State .550+.670
Utah .510+1.000
Ohio State .800+.591
North Carolina .780+.548

Texas (1.526)
Oklahoma (1.526)
Florida State (1.380)
Florida (1.483)
Texas Tech (1.571)
Pitt (1.345)
Missouri (1.327)
USC (1.390)
Penn State (1.394)
Alabama (1.434)
Boise State (1.467)
Cincinnati (1.312)
Oregon State (1.220)
Utah (1.510)
Ohio State (1.391)
North Carolina (1.328)

OVERALL SEEDINGS
1. Texas Tech (1.571)
2. Texas (1.526)
3. Oklahoma (1.526
4. Utah (1.510)
5. Florida (1.483)
6. Boise State (1.467)
7. Alabama (1.434)
8. Penn State (1.394)
9. Ohio State (1.391)
10. USC (1.390)
11. Florida State (1.380)
12. Pitt (1.345)
13. North Carolina (1.328)
14. Missouri (1.327)
15. Cincinnati (1.312)
16. Oregon State (1.220)

Bracket
1. Texas Tech
16. Oregon State

8. Penn State
9. Ohio State

5. Florida
12. Pitt

4. Utah
13. North Carolina

3. Oklahoma
14. Missouri

6. Boise State
11. Florida State

7. Alabama
10. USC

2. Texas
15. Cincinnati

With the exception of the Penn State-Ohio State which has already been played these match-ups come out much more enticing. A second-round match-up between Texas and Alabama or USC would be very exciting. What about the 2007 Fiesta Bowl grudge match between Boise State and Oklahoma. Oh and Florida-Utah, nothing better the The Urban Meyer-Bowl, huh? And that top second round matchup between Texas Tech and Penn State or Ohio State. Even though that matchup is intra-Big 10, it eliminates the conference that always makes a fool of itself in the National Title Game.

All games will be played at Neutral sites which will be determine after the match-ups are released and are sites that seem geographically in the middle between the two campuses.

Site Examples
Texas Tech/Oregon State-Invesco Field at Mile High (Denver)
Penn State/Ohio State-Paul Brown Stadium (Cleveland)
Florida/Pitt-Carolina Panthers stadium in Charlotte
Utah/North Carolina-Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, Neb)
Oklahoma/Missouri-Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City)
Boise State/Florida State-Edward Jones Dome(St. Louis)
Alabama/USC-Sun Bowl (El Paso)
Texas/Cincinnati-Liberty Bowl (Memphis, TN)

Should a venue be unavailable then the game would be moved to a near venue. EX: Game in Nashville moved to Vanderbilt Stadium.

Second Round Venues:
Cotton Bowl-Dallas, TX (Host Texas Tech vs. TBA)
Citrus Bowl-Orlando, FL (Host Potential Florida v. Utah)
Rose Bowl-Pasadena, Calif (Host potential Oklahoma v. Boise State)
Sugar Bowl-New Orleans, LA (Host potential Texas v. Alabama)

Semi-Final
Fiesta Bowl-Glendale, AZ (Host Texas Tech v. Florida/Utah winner)
Orange Bowl- Miami, FL (Host Oklahoma/Boise State v. Texas/Alabama)

National Championship
Miami, FL

Now My Projections:
Second Round:
Texas Tech v. Penn State

Florida v. Utah

Oklahoma v. Boise State

Alabama v. Texas

Semi-Final Round
Texas Tech v. Florida

Texas v. Oklahoma

Championship
Texas Tech v. Texas

Sure this is a Big 12 Match-up but it has been decided a playoff, and so at this point conference affiliation should be disregarded and the two best teams in the country should play for a National Title.
