Sunday morning in a hotel conference room just north of Dallas, the College Football Playoff selection committee will finish hours of discussion to decide which four teams deserve to compete for the national championship, and what the seeding should be.
To help decide among teams often inseparable by record and other factors like conference championships, strength of schedule or the “eye test,” committee members like former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Clemson athletic director (formerly of Georgia Tech) Dan Radakovich will rely upon statistical data to compare teams.
That data will be furnished upon a data platform created by two brothers from metro Atlanta and two business partners also from Atlanta.
