Dave Bartoo, founder of CFB Matrix and one of college football’s top data analysts, joins 365 Sports to pull back the curtain on how the College Football Playoff Committee really works. Bartoo explains the formula behind the rankings — wins, quality wins, top 25 wins, strength of schedule, strength of record, and game control — and reveals why the so-called “eye test” doesn’t actually exist. He breaks down the committee’s true decision-making process, why drama is manufactured for TV, and how the math predicts playoff outcomes with near-perfect accuracy. Bartoo also dives into the SEC’s nine-game scheduling debate, the impact of non-conference games on playoff paths, and how analytics expose the myths fans and media keep repeating every November.
