I recently discovered yet another national championship selector who, though unrecognized by the NCAA, nonetheless has an interesting system for choosing a national champion for college football.The Quality Champions System of Brian McAtee, is based on a mathematical system developed to reward a winning team’s strength of schedule above all else. The Quality Champions System, begun in 2001, has named a national champion for every season between 1977 and 2010. Given what I know about the strength of schedule of Auburn’s 1983 and 2004 teams, it was not surprising to see them named as national champion for those seasons, in addition to the 2010 season.
