I was pretty impressed with the committee in their first week, actually. Despite my feeling bad about adding to the SEC bias, the committee ended up with the same Top 6 I did, though mine were in a slightly different order. There will be changes again this week, but that comes later.
For now, I need to update all of the Playoff Points numbers from the weekend. Most of the games were in conference, but as the season continues, the numbers continue to grow, even though the rankings have stayed largely the same.
If you need a reminder as to how the Playoff Points system works, you can refer back to the explanation from Week 1 here. Time to math.
