The CFP cmte has too much subjective leeway to begin with.
Go back to a fairly objective formula like the BCS had.
I did go and try to find the six computers that the BCS used. Sagarin no longer has his "score-free" formula available, but I think the others have their equivalents still. I know Don does his NOTBCS rankings, which I think use more computers.
I find the following:
Colley: 1. Washington, 2. Michigan, 3. Texas, 4. Alabama, 5. Florida State >> > Billingsley: 1. Washington, 2. Michigan, 3. Florida State, 4. Alabama, 5. Georgia
Massey BCS: 1. Washington, 2. Michigan, 3. Alabama. 4. Texas, 5. Florida State
Anderson & Hester: 1. Washington, 2. Michigan, 3. Florida State, 4. Ohio State, 5. Alabama
Wolfe: 1. Washington, 2. Michigan, 3. Florida State, 4. Alabama, 5. Texas >> > Sagarin*: 1. Michigan, 2. Oregon, 3. Ohio State, 4. Texas, 5. Penn State >> Sagarin is borked. ($1)
Yeah, that's why that version got banned in the BCS days, and they
made him use a score-free version. But the version he had to use in
those days no longer seems to exist.
Sagarin appears to have given up the biz, as he has yet to release basketball ratings this year.
