Quick reminder this is as of week 10 not a projection!

If you’re new here start here: (Otherwise jump right into the figures)

There’s been a lot made of the quality of polls in the FCS sphere lately and with the playoff committee top 10 poll coming back we are only a few months away from someone taking issue with it. So what if we tried to do something that was done before that was actually good but was a scape goat for bigger issues? The BCS was never the problem. Having a 2 team playoff was. The computers were often the scape goats for the small field plus the fact that often the human polls that made up 2/3 of the BCS were to blame for the unpopular results. (Computers would’ve had Alabama-Cincinnati for the title game in 09 in stead of Alabama-Texas and LSU-Oklahoma State instead of LSU-Alabama in 2011. By far 2 of the most unpopular BCS Title matchups)

Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the CCS. Using the old system of compiling 2 human polls (we will use AFCA and STATS as that’s what the NCAA recognizes) along with the old BCS computer systems that track the FCS as well (all 6 are still active but only 3 individually rank FCS teams Sagarin, Massey, and Wolfe). Every week I’ll be posting the playoff picture, a full ranking of every team receiving votes in any of the 3 polls, and a playoff bracket that uses close to the NCAA criteria:

• Rematches are to be avoided in the first 2 rounds where possible that doesn’t interfere with seeding
• Conference opponents that didn’t play in the regular season must play where it doesn’t interfere with seeding
• All other matchups will actually be regionalized to minimize travel in the first 2 rounds excluding the above criteria obviously
• For now while the NCAA uses top 16 seeding my bracket will do so.
