Download or read book Determining the College Football Playoff written by Ray D. Theis and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we explore the history of college football, and in particular the mythical college championship, from 1869 to the present day. For several years, different media outlets took it upon themselves to declare a national championship, which led to nothing short of confusion. In one year, four different teams were named champion! This chaotic situation and accompanying controversy ultimately led to the creation of the Bowl Championship Series, or BCS. Initially, the BCS selection was based on a formula that incorporated several polls and computer models. However, the proprietary nature of the computer models and the complexity of the mathematics used to combine the data sources to arrive at the final selection did very little to quiet the controversy. This led to the creation of a selection committee to choose the four "best" teams to compete in a four-team playoff. Again, controversy has ensued, with many questioning the politics and nebulous, capricious nature of the criteria. We have created an alternate model, which we have dubbed the weighted wins system, that defines a simple, unbiased, and consistent mechanism for evaluating and comparing the records of the teams in the NCAA's Bowl Subdivision. We have compared the results of the weighted wins model against forty years of actual game results and found that it generates very similar outcomes. The primary difference is that it completely removes politics from the selection process and offers a clear path to the playoffs for all members of the Bowl Subdivision.

Download or read book Death to the BCS written by Dan Wetzel and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of award-winning sports reporters takes down the Great Satan of college sports: the Bowl Championship Series. Every college sport picks its champion by a postseason tournament, except for one: Division I-A football. Instead of a tournament, fans are subjected to the Bowl Championship Series, an arcane mix of polling and mathematical rankings that results in just two teams playing for the championship. It is, without a doubt, the most hated institution in all of sports. A recent Sports Illustrated poll found that more than 90 percent of sports fans oppose the BCS, yet this system has remained in place for more than a decade. Built upon top-notch investigative reporting, Death to the BCS at last reveals the truth about this monstrous entity and offers a simple solution for fixing it. Death to the BCS includes findings from interviews with power players, as well as research into federal tax records, Congressional testimony, and private contracts, revealing: ?The truth behind the "Cartel"-the anonymous suits who run the BCS and who profit handsomely by protecting it ?The flawed math and corruption that determine which teams participate in the national championship ?How the system hurts competition by perpetuating "cupcake" schedules ?How "mid-major" teams are systematically denied a chance to play for the championship ?How a comprehensive sixteen-team playoff plan can solve the problem while enhancing profitability The first book to lay out the unseemly inner workings of the BCS in full detail, Death to the BCS is a rousing manifesto for bringing fairness back to one of our most beloved sports.
Download or read book The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia written by Ray Dozier and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2006 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oklahoma Football Encyclopedia is an historical description of every University of Oklahoma football game from the beginning in 1895 through 2004. Learn how the team got its start and how coach Bennie Owen laid the foundation for the Sooners to become one of the most respected teams on the college football scene.Bud Wilkinson, Barry Switzer and Bob Stoops later directed the Sooners to college football's elite prize. Wilkinson was a great teacher of the Split-T formation, which guided the Sooners to three national championships, 72 consecutive conference games without a loss and a major college winning streak -- a record that may never be broken. Switzer, a master recruiter, implemented the Wishbone formation, which brought another three national titles and 12 conference crowns to Norman. After the Sooner football program had dropped to mediocrity status, Stoops turned the program around and won the national championship in his second year at the helm.This book provides insight into "Sooner Magic." Many OU football teams appeared to have a supernatural force carry them to victory when victory was not assured. Was it sleight of hand? Smoke and mirrors? No, just pure talent and inspiration helped push the Sooners to the overwhelming tradition the teams have displayed on the gridiron.
Download or read book Saturday Millionaires written by K. Dosh and published by Wiley. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last year Football Bowl Subdivision college football programs produced over $1 billion in net revenue. Record-breaking television contracts were announced. Despite the enormous revenue, college football is in upheaval. Schools are accused of throwing their academic mission aside to fund their football teams. The media and fans are beating the drum for athletes to be paid. And the conferences are being radically revised as schools search for TV money. Saturday Millionaires shows that schools are right to fund their football teams first; that athletes will never be paid like employees; how the media skews the financial facts; and why the TV deals are so important. It follows the money to the heart of college football and shows the real game being played, covering such areas as: Myth #1: All Athletic Departments Are Created Equal Myth #2: Supporting Football Means Degrading Academics Myth #3: College Football Players Could Be Paid Like Employees Myth #4: Football Coaches Are Overpaid Myth #5: A Playoff Will Bring Equality to College Football Myth #6: Only a Handful of Athletic Departments Are Self-Sustaining
