Original University Football Four Team Playoff Formula

As NCAA University Bowl Subdivision Football had recognized dissatisfaction from the public in it's crowning of a National Champion, it became evident before 2009, a new playoff format was needed. Donald Robert Sartain of Saint Joseph Missouri made the following 'Four Team' Playoff with One Additional National Championship Game, Playoff Format Formula. The current Playoff Committee had latched onto many of it's components yet has not adopted it entirely. Instead they rely rather still on the 'Polling System' to decide the Four Teams within the yearly 'Playoff'. Polling is more or less Arbitrary and not based on any consistent data standard. Here is the basic of the Formula devised by Mr. Sartain and on his Blog Site: https://worldemoc.blogspot.com/search?q=College+Football+Playoff

The Power Five and Group of Five Conferences will be treated equally and qualify for the Four Team Playoff as follows. All Undefeated Teams on the Season get the Highest Seed, followed by One Loss Schools, and then two loss if needed. Only Conference Champions or an Independent may be in the Four Team College Playoff ! Then Head to Head and finally Strength of Schedule break ties. 1st Seed plays 4th and 2nd plays 3rd. This is the fairest way to determine the four finalists and their seed position. Strength of Schedule is obtained by looking at a teams completed schedule and totaling the overall wins and losses of defeated Div I-A opponents including the Conf. Championship opponent again. Then dividing to get a percentage such as a baseball standing percentage. The higher the percentage equals a tougher Schedule. I am Donald Robert Sartain writing this Wikipedia page.
