College Football Playoff and NCAA Tournament selection committees use metrics to pick teams like NCAA Tournament.

Bill Hancock , who retired last month after serving as the CFP executive director since its inception, never wants college football to use something like that again.

ESPN 's director of analytics says CFP selection committee did have access to ESPN ’s Football Power Index and Strength of Record metrics for its deliberations on selection day this year .

The 16 -team NCAA men's hockey tournament adopted something akin to a metrics-based selection process in recent years .

There are only 40 Division I men's ice hockey programs in the country, compared with 134 Football Bowl Subdivision teams and 364 Division I basketball teams this year .

Hancock was also the first full-time director of the men's basketball Final Four from 1989 to 2002.
