Here is a breakdown of each of the top 6 playoff contenders and some pertinent stats, including their rank among the six in each category:
PD=Point Differential, SOS=Strength of Schedule Conf=Conference Strength
Alabama - PD +20.5 (5th), SOS #5 (1st), Conf (1st)
TCU - PD +26.5 (1st), SOS #92 (6th), Conf (3rd)
Ohio State - PD +24.0 (3rd), SOS #68 (3rd), Conf (5th)
Oregon - PD +23.8 (4th), SOS #70 (4th), Conf (2nd)
Baylor - PD +24.6 (2nd), SOS #89 (5th), Conf (3rd)
Florida State - PD +11.8 (6th), SOS #45 (2nd), Conf (4th)
By adding up those rankings, you end up with the 6 teams in this order:
Alabama - 7
TCU - 10
Oregon - 10
Baylor - 10
Ohio State - 11
Florida State - 12
The Seminoles are the worst of these 6 teams according to this method and my regular formula, but due to their undefeated record they are being allowed to participate in the playoff, which caused both Big 12 champs to be excluded. While a 4-team model is much better than the 2-team model of previous seasons, it still needs to be expanded to either 8 or 16 teams, which would make conference championships actually matter.
