    College Football Point system?

    CFP Point system.  Because the CFP committee will never allow every group of five champions, or any for that matter into the fold. I propose a point based system for a 12,14, or 16 team playoff. Similar to that of auto racing where drivers are awarded points based on the position they finish.  Those points go toward crowning a champion at the end of the season.  Here is how it works.  Due to the archaic, and subjective nature of Strength of schedules, win/losses, and quality of wins… This point system will do away with the subjective criteria we look at now. The teams with the most points will be awarded a place in the playoffs. The points are as follows.  Regular season Wins against unranked opponents 1pt Regular season Wins against top 25 opponents 2 pt  Regular season Wins against top ten opponents  3 pts  Regular season wins against top five opponents 4 pts  Additional points for an away game victory is 1pt  Additional points for a win against a rival 1pt Conference championship win 8pts  Regular season loss against a non ranked opponent -3pt Regular season loss against a top 25 ranked opponent -2pts Regular season loss against a top ten opponent -1pt  Regular season loss against a top five opponent - 0pt Additional Points deducted for a loss at home -1pt Conference championship loss results in +1 point for attending and no loss in points for losing.  End of season points, or tie breakers. (points awarded to break ties in the event too many teams qualify for the playoffs).  Teams that play out of conference power four teams are rewarded +1 point regardless of outcome. Ie #1 Texas plays Michigan in Ann Arbor, they win. Texas gets +2 for the away win, and +1 for playing a power four team out of conference. Michigan normally would lose -1 but because Texas is ranked and they too played the out of conference power four, they lose no points because they picked up the +1. Teams that start their season with an away game are granted +1 point regardless of outcome. BIG TEN Team                     Points                              Conf.
