The committee has scored the way I said from the beginning.
They only look at records of your opponents. Does the committee have time to watch each game and do an eye test? Nope.

Do you have a link that says the committee scores things the way you say they do
The 7 quality wins for texas were Wyoming, OU, Kansas, ISU, Alabama, Okie St and Kansas St. Notice all those teams finished regular season above .500. (Yes Wyoming counts as a better win compared to the other Big 12 teams Texas defeated last season) The plus 3 is for beating teams in the final cfp top 25 which were Okie St, OU and KSU and the +1 is for the conference championship.
Also notice his date on the tweet, day before final cfp rankings. There was angst about Ohio St getting in over Texas.
Ahh got you, you have no idea because the committee doesn’t have a formula like you mentioned but these random guys on the internet have you convinced.
That’s the most round about way of saying “just trust me bro” I’ve heard in awhile
Also, MOV he refers to is game control. Basically beat the crap out of your opponent. That weighs on rankings too
Well...sorry bro. I've followed these guys for over a decade and they put out the rankings before the cfp committee does and they nail the rankings almost exactly right every week. They've got it figured out. The question is...Will the same rules apply for a 12 team bracket?
The committee rules are purposely vague.
The only thing to like about is ISU is projected in. What's not to like is that he SEC gets 5 teams and the B1G gets 4 teams in, while the Big 12 and ACC get only 1. Seems fair to me. Not so much.
The system is getting more broke.
This is how I see it also. The system clearly favors the P2.
Change the media payouts to and for the P4 to be more equitable, make the ranking system fair (not more fair), maybe the current system changes. I don't see either changing for the foreseeable future.
If things do change, for the better at some distant future point, the damage will have already been done. I would hope this might include more reasonable regional time zone conferences, or close to it. The cows are out of the barn there, and there are no fences, anywhere.
I mean, it can't be as easy as an equation like that. Any equation based on wins would have had Florida State in last year and it would have been wrong.
Committee held them out due to QB injury, they do similar things in the NCAA tournament.
No, they used that excuse (just like they always cherry pick the statistic they need) but in reality, they held them out because putting them in would have left the SEC out and that's a non-starter.
I understand that, but you were saying they use the formula based on wins to get it right every time, and I'm saying that's not true because there is a qualitative component to it. I only had to go back one year to find an example.
Isn't FSUs argument they had no losses whereas the formula posted is about quality (>.500) and t25 wins?
I ran through the schedules from 2023 using the criteria outlined by @twojman (>0.500, CFP T25, Conf. Champ) and here's what I came up with:
Looks like FSU was the lowest scorer. I'd argue a portion of the result is knocking a team like Miami (not a T25 win) and elevating a team like Tennessee, also helped Alabama that Chattanooga finished >.500 and was a quality win. Michigan feasted on a scheduled that ramped up late. Certainly didn't help FSU that Florida was not great last year.
But everybody knows they were only left out because of injury. The committee said as much.
We do? They did? Seems to me the committee would have a motive to keep their "highly complex, super secret" formula (i.e. juice SEC/B1G top25 teams) under wraps so the system couldn't be gamed or questioned... but I'm clearly not as plugged in as you are, I simply ran the math.
If you consider quotes from the committee plugged in, then I guess I'm plugged in.
Speaking on ESPN on Sunday, College Football Playoff committee chair Boo Corrigan explained why FSU was left out of the top four.
“Florida State is a different team than they were through the first 11 weeks,” said Corrigan. “An incredible season. But as you look at who they are as a team, right now, without Jordan Travis, without the offensive dynamic that he brings to it, they are a different team.”
