How would the college football playoff committee rank teams this week? Which four teams would make the playoff?
We can use analytics to make an educated guess on the committee rankings. The AP poll provides a baseline for the top 25 teams before the committee releases their first poll.
My algorithm then adjusts teams based on the most recent opponent and margin of victory. Teams that win keep their place or make a jump if they beat a higher ranked opponent, and teams that lose drop, but not as much if they lose to a highly ranked team.
