Season proficiency ratings title contenders

Maybe I'm not giving adequate explanation to what I'm trying to do. I'll be brief. I'm fifty-two going on fifty-three. Little if any of what I've done will matter when I'm gone. I'm trying to leave a legacy of sorts. I'm not trying to make it harder for anyone. It should become apparent why I can't. I've heard it said that great teams make their own luck.
I'm trying to simply the process.
Nothing I do changes anything. I know that. I'm nobody other than a guy with a pulse. I want to make things easier for people.
My thinking is if we let people who aren't interested in anything other than making a fast buck take over, that will ruin it. For everyone, everywhere. I don't want that to be. Quite simply I want to make it fairer for anyone, anywhere. That doesn't exclude anyone, anywhere. I would think for a championship to matter it ought to include everyone anyway. Am I wrong about that?
My thinking is consolidation is necessary.
Some people (not me, necessarily) are upset it's the same teams at the top. Year after year. Guess what? It's mostly ALWAYS been that way. Look at the rankings I posted.
Relatively few outsiders to the dance. Many mainstays poking through the fiberglass.
I don't want to rock the boat. If Alabama is the best team I want them recognized as such. If it's Brigham Young, likewise.
That isn't partisan. That's being fair, IMO. Do people really know how hard it was for BYU to get invited to the dance? Incredibly hard.
It's actually only happened once. In 1997 they played Kansas St in the Cotton Bowl.
Since then they've been an afterthought. Last year they were an unlikely suitor.
It's quite unlikely anyone will break through.
In 1984 an unlikely chain of events transpired. Many were circumstantial. Mostly BYU lucked their way to a NC. But it was anything but easy. It was incredibly hard, so hard it's unlikely to happen again.
Which is why I'm supporting UCF's title claim. They were as unlikely as Brigham Young. But equally deserving, IMO. Hopefully people will wake up to reality.

It should average to one team a year. Meaning there probably should be more rather than fewer but the standard is supposed to be especially difficult to defend.
I have as few more years I can report as far as the preliminary ratings are concerned (these are the ones used to select participants). It ought to be fairly simple.
Here's last year's. This one ought to raise a few eyebrows. It gives priority to Cincinnati.
1. Alabama: 118.7
2. Ohio State: 110.0
3. Clemson: 101.2
4. Cincinnati: 94.8
5. Notre Dame: 91.5
6. Brigham Young: 89.8
7. Texas A&M: 87.0
8. Indiana: 81.5
9. S. California: 76.9
10. Coastal Carolina: 75.6
11. Iowa 73.3
12 Louisiana Lafayette: 72.5
13 Iowa St : 71.2
T-15. Oklahoma St. 69.2
T-15. N.Carolina: 69.2
16. Texas: 69.2
17. Northwestern: 68.9
18. Miami, FL: 68.0
19. Buffalo: 67.1
20. Florida: 65.7
21 Tulsa: 65.1
22. Oregon: 63.3
23. Appalachian St. 62.3
24. Boise St.: 61.7
25. San Jose St : 60.1
This should give at least a birds eye view of where teams fell against the median. F.W.I.W.

100 ought to define a national champion. Just as bowling ten frames at strikes is 300.
At least that's the way I think it ought to be. Perfection is the objective. It isn't a given, ever. We can talk turkey but first we need to make sense of the standard to which it applies. It's a difficult standard to implement. It requires much patience within the process itself in order to be understood.
Here's 2012, preliminary predictive ratings:
1. Alabama: 100.1
2. Notre Dame: 98.3
3. Oregon: 97.5
4. Kansas St : 92.0
5. Florida: 88.6
6. Ohio St. 88.0
7. Texas A&M 84.7
8. Oklahoma: 84.2
9. Florida St.: 82.2
10. Oregon St.: 81.7
11. Stanford: 79.3
12. Louisiana St : 78.5
13. S. Carolina: 77.5
14. Clemson: 75 7
15. Nebraska: 68 5
16. Texas: 65.2
17. Cincinnati: 64.9
18. Michigan: 62.8
19. Northwestern: 61.9
20. C. Florida: 61.7
21. Tulsa: 61.6
22. Vanderbilt: 60.5
23. Fresno St : 59.3
24. U.C.L.A.: 58.9
T-25. Wisconsin/Baylor: 58.7
It would appear to me the championship for the calendar year 2012 was dealt fairly.

2013 Season Proficiency Ratings:
1. Florida St : 115.6
2. Alabama: 99.4
3. Baylor: 98.6
4. Ohio St : 93.2
5. Auburn: 90.3
6. Oregon: 88.5
7. Stanford: 86.6
8. Oklahoma St.: 84.2
T-10. Louisville/Michigan St.: 83.7
11. Missouri: 82.3
12. Clemson: 80.5
13. S. Carolina: 80.4
14. Oklahoma: 78.1
15. C Florida: 75.1
16. Wisconsin: 73.9
17. S. California: 73.6
18. Louisiana St : 72.7
19. U C.L.A : 72.3
20. Texas A&M: 64.8
21. Georgia: 64.2
22. Notre Dame: 63.1
23. Fresno St.: 66.43
24. N. Illinois: 64.5
25. Bowling Green: 60.6.
26. San Jose St : 60.2
I might suggest Auburn qualified on a technicality. Having beaten Alabama. But it also meant Baylor losing to C. Florida, too. Which gives impetus to 2027 UCF as a NC. I know there's no carry-over, but humor me.

The following year (2014, obviously) is even harder to decipher.
1. Oregon: 99.5
2. Alabama: 99.3
3. Texas Christian: 96.7
4. Ohio St. : 95.9
5. Baylor: 95.4
6. Florida State: 94.7
7. Michigan St. 83.6
8. Mississippi St.: 82.4
9. Marshall: 82.3
10. Mississippi: 75.8
11. Kansas St. 73.2
12. Boise St 73.1
13. Wisconsin: 72.9
14. Georgia Tech: 72 3
15 . U C.L.A : 72.0
16. Arizona St.: 71.9
17. Arizona: 71.5
18. Clemson: 69.0
19. Memphis 66.4
20. Louisville: 67.7
21. Oklahoma: 66.4
22. Memphis: 66.3
23. Maryland; 65 2
24. Louisiana St : 65.1
25. Nebraska: 64.1
26. Duke: 60.0
27. Minnesota: 58.6
28. Stanford: 58.4
T-30. Louisiana Tech/Washington: 57.4
31. Cincinnati: 57.2
32. C. Florida: 56.9
33. Texas A&M: 56.5
34. Notre Dame: 55.2
35. E. Carolina: 55.1
36. Brigham Young: 54.2
37. Florida: 53.6
38. S. Carolina: 52.4
39. Utah St. 52.2
T-41. Arkansas/Iowa: 51.9
42. Virginia Tech: 51.9
43. Boston College: 51.6
44. Houston: 51.5
45. Tennessee: 51.4
This one is tough to render fairly. But I think Florida St advances regardless of position given they were 13-0. Texas Christian likely (although not certainly) misses out as a result of losing to Baylor. Although it might be argued (as it was in 2014) both merit consideration. F.W.I.W.

This is where it gets interesting. I parentheses those which met the criteria. As best as I can tell, through 1960, only four teams (national championship contenders, obviously) failed to meet the requisite standard. 36 teams achieved the full measure of a championship. That's notable.
The four I believe weren't quite able to make the grade are Centre, Dartmouth, V.M I. and Ole Miss. Four. Of thirty-six. Thirty-six trans apparently givenbthe recognition they deserve through nibety-teovl seasons ought to give you a fair idea how difficult it is. Extremely. 32/92 therefore roughiy gives the % of teams within the construct of a championship. What is that? 1/3? About. Exactly if I'm allowed to included tye excluded teams as unfilled positions. 1/3.

It is. Charnin Extra Soft Toilet Tissue. It gets in between all the crevices and leaves you feeling Downy soft. That's why I invented it. I wanted something to touch us both softly. In intimate places where Saturn meets Uranus. That's called the Twilight Zone.

What are those rings they surround Uranus? I expected them on Saturn. Uranus, not so much.Does it have any thing to do with Klingons? Do they surround Uranus? IC
Icy Klingons surround Uranus. I'm going to send Dr. Vulcan to eliminate them. With Preparation H. Hemorrhoid cream.

No. I would recommend bratwurst. Either that or roast beef on rye. Pastrami is good. Cold fresh bologna isn't the worst either. BLT. Cold Cut Combo. My favorite sandwich. Made from three types of meat.

Quite possibly but let's examine it anyway. This will make for an interesting exercise. I take my data from Sports Reference. SRS.
You can and probably should check my work. I invite any and all questions. SRS isn't my method. I hope I explained that and I recognize how confusing my method is.
I get Princeton, 2-0, at 8.28 SRS. Here's my method, it takes SRS and makes it simpler.
I said this is a work in progress. So any mistakes should be rectified by the end.
SQRT(8.28/2) * 16 + 50 = 82.6. TYVM!
Definitely a mistake. You win the prize. Those mistakes are transcendental. F.W.I.W. I make them infrequently. TYVM.

This is a tough assignment. But I think you will find it difficult to find further mistakes. I will eventually get it down to brass tacks. I apologise for the error and appreciate your having made it apparent to me. TYVM.

So I must be wrong about everything else, too. Is that the argument you're making? That's been tried before. If I make a mistake then I'm completely wrong about anything else I might be right about otherwise. GMAFB. I make mistakes. I must be human. I think it's kind of funny how people use my humanity against me in circumstances such as this. What I'm doing is cracking a code. I don't expect anything in return. Show me the method you initiated that works better. Yeah I was wrong. Probably hit the wrong key.
I just saw a documentary in the Zodiac killer. Someone cracked it. The 340 cipher. But there were spelling errors among other things. By the Zodiac mostly. Should we condemn it because it wasn't rendered perfectly? I even helped a little. They got part of the transcription wrong. You are like the pebble in a person's shoe. You don't have anything constructive to offer just criticism.
I know there are mistakes. I doubt it limited to one so where else am I mistaken? I mean since you obviously know better than I do. Shouldn't be hard to find every mistake I do.
