Yesterday, I posted a story that took a look at the 247Sports‘ Composite player averages for Committee Ranked Teams. To summarize, those numbers showed that the lowest playoff team had a roster whose players average .906 Composite Rating. 17 of the 24 teams were at least that high. The 7 teams that the committee selected for the playoffs whose rosters were below that .906 “talent” average are a combined 2-8 in the playoffs.
Goes without saying, that a .906 average doesn’t guarantee selection into the playoff, but it is a strong indicator that it takes at least that talent to have a season that can build a resume strong enough to be selected.
