A college bowl system which a member posted last year ?

It was based on Overall Team Ranking and Overall Pass Defense Ranking.

It did well

I'm trying to look for it in my database but can't find it

Any help ?

Thanks

Is this what you wanted?

The reasoning for the system

Teams that played a tougher schedule and were ranked higher are worth betting in their bowl game. It is believed those that played a tougher schedule are more prepared to play in the big game. Plus their higher ranking makes them a better overall team.


TEAM line RANK/SOS

Example (from 2003-4)
Mia-OH -13 (5/75) Lville (43/81)
Just so you understand what the numbers mean: In the above game Miami Ohio was -13 for their bowl game. They were ranked 5th and played the 75th toughest schedule in the regular season. Lville was ranked 43rd and played the 81st toughest schedule. So this would qualify as a play on Miami Ohio because they played a tougher schedule and were ranked higher. the final score was 49-28 Miami so they did cover


Bowl games where system is met. You may have a different ranking but this is close. I took it from collegefootball.com

Teams listed 1st are the play

r = ranked, sos =strength of schedule

S Miss -17 (r 52,sos 95) vs Ark st (r 79,sos 118)
so in this game S Miss would be the play as they are ranked higher and played a tougher schedule

California -6 (r 30,sos 59) vs Brigham Young (r 54, sos 73)
Kansas -3 (r 53, sos 31) vs Houston (r 61, sos 103)
Nevada -2 (r 32, sos 93) vs Central Florida (r 45, sos 94) close but Nev is play
Akron +6 (r 55, sos 91) vs Memphis (r 60, sos 99)
Michigan -12.5 (r 22, sos 6) vs Nebraska (r 39, sos 56)
Georgia Tech -8.5 (r 31, sos 2) vs Utah (r 48, sos 64)
S Carolina -4 (r 38, sos 32) vs Missouri (r 59, sos 62)
Miami Fla (no line) (r 9, sos 24) vs LSU (r 13, sos 46)
NC State -6.5 (r 50, sos 44) vs S Florida (r 51, sos 69)
TCU -3.5 (r 6, sos 58) vs Iowa st (r 34, sos 77)
Florida -3 (r 20, sos 17) vs Iowa (r 26, sos 42)
Virginia Tech -8 (r 5, sos 27) vs Louisville (r 7, sos 78)
Ohio st -4.5 (r 4, sos 5) vs Notre Dame (r 15, sos 10)
Penn State -7.5 (r 3, sos 14) vs Florida State (r 28, sos 33)
USC -6.5 (r 1, sos 15) vs Texas (r 2, sos 19)

28 bowl games and 16 fit the system. Just for interest sake the team that played the toughest schedule this year was N Carolina.

Also of note is you might find a few of the teams ranked different. I saw Texas #1 at some places and if you believe that it would then not be a play. I think most of these rankings are right.

I included the line but it will change somewhat. I think you have to factor other things as well. One thing I like are teams that finished the season hot and on a winning streak. The one factor I don't like is teams have to wait so long to play and they are not always "game sharp". Some coaches have a better way to prepare
