Predicting the first 12-team College Football Playoff selection committee rankings
Briefly

"I've studied metrics that have been valued by the committee in the past, and after some guess and check, I found a formula that tested well compared to the actual rankings."
"This is the first year of the 12-team Playoff and I'm using data from the four-team era. Will the criteria change? We will find out."
"There is a pretty big unknown with Notre Dame, considering it lost to Northern Illinois at home, which is probably the biggest upset we've seen from a contender since the CFP began in 2014."
"Notre Dame's current projected ranking with just one loss is 10th; with this added penalty, it would fall to 11th. So, not a big drop in the rankings, though squarely on the bubble."
