Reply to comment by TargetMost8136 in [OC] - Which College Football Programs have been the Most Successful? by jonesjeffum
I didn’t say they cared about the schools. The good thing about numbers that are quantifiable is that they don’t care about opinions. The title of the chart is Which College Football Programs have been the most successful? Most successful at what? Winning? That’s not reflected in the chart. That chart shows what programs have been ranked the highest in the AP poll and it weights the playoff selection over the AP poll where there are conflicts. The AP is associated with the mythical National Championship and there is a reason the BCS relied on other polls as well to select the teams that played in the “championship game.” That was so controversial that it resulted in us finally getting a 4 team playoff which was controversial so we got a larger, fairer playoff. So, either the title of the chart needs to change or the data inputs and weighting needs to change.

Damn I replied to the wrong comment sorry 😂 I meant to reply to someone who said all the schools are failures because college should be about education and not sports

Hahaha. No problem at all. I couldn’t tell if you were agreeing or arguing. It all makes sense now.
