I don't have a problem with Florida, they held an offense that pretty much no one else could stop to 14 pts.

I can't get myself to pick Utah. I'm much more impressed by Florida.

College football has two choices for determining a NC. They could use a tournament or a ratings based system. If the NCAA had chosen a tournament, those who pimp Utah based on their undefeated record would be completely correct (assuming Utah went through the tournament undefeated).
But the NCAA chose a ratings based system. And in a ratings based system one would presume you are looking form some kind of estimate for the best team. Does anyone think Utah would beat Florida, Oklahoma, or USC in a best of 7 tournament? If the answer is no, you shouldn't pimp them for a NC in a ratings based system. A one-loss team can still easily be the best team in the nation. Whether Utah pimpers realize it or not, it is a stochastic world, and we're living in it. |

Ratings based system = what is the best team despite the records. One way to ascertain this is to play a mental tournament, of who would win the majority of games if the series were long enough. This negates the effect of upsets. 7 games seems long enough to dispel any notions of Utah making a run on any of the elite teams. In a ratings based system you are trying to answer the question, who would win a best of 7 round-robin tournament (each team plays all the others 7 times) between: Florida OK USC Texas Or if you want to make the argument that Utah would beat all of these teams 4 out of 7 times, be my guest. This is why ratings based systems suck. You are always left with these stupid arguments at the end. |
