I find this point totally to be totally void of any logic on any level. Any real fan wants to at least compete.

So lacking any objectivity.
 

You know the point total at the end of the season does matter in the selection committee matters.

Agreed .... though I assume by "point totals", you mean "game margins", and then relative to SOS as compared to other bubble teams. For both the Top 8 seed "bubble teams" and At Large bid bubble teams .. you need to put away most of the weak teams, especially if you play zero or 1 top 25/playoff teams.

Perfect case in point .. and I pointed these 2 teams out BEFORE playoffs started .. Richmond and NC Central, along with Incarnate Word in month 2 being way over-rated. Many were fooled by NC Central (9-2, SOS #101) and they got an at large bid. Then they got smoked by a not-as-over-rated Richmond (8-3, SOS #81 .. played none of the top 3 CAA teams) ... so Richmond beat NCC by 22, slowly pulled away at home. Richmond went to play Albany and got smoked by 28 pts. Albany (9-3, top 25 SOS) was a legit playoff team per their resume, and beat a tough Idaho (8-3, top 20 SOS) team .. a game SIU could have won if not for horrible play calling/clock mgmt on their last drive with game tied. But then even a legit playoff bid like Albany ran into a much better team and lost 59-0 to SDSU. Now I don't believe SDSU is 59 points better than Albany, but it does show what life is like in the MVFC .. and yes, we played SDSU much tougher in week 5 than the top CAA team played them in final 4.

NCC would be lucky to finish 9th in MVFC, competing with MoST and probably losing to them .. but they got a bid because of teir 9-2 record. There were several more deserving teams with 7-4 and 6-5 records.

Again, I said NCC and Richmond were both way over-rated before the games were played, along with IW several months ago. I would bet a lot of money that 6-5 UNI would beat Richmond by several TDs and NCC by even more. Its about W-L record, contingent upon SOS and margins relative to your SOS each game. Bottom line a 9-2 team made playoffs and they had no business being in playoffs. Either were picking at large bids based on resumes or were picking them based on records only ... the latter makes no sense. So this time, the committee made those 2 mistakes for sure.

Yes win points margin.
