Top 25 Programs of the CFP Era

[Across The Field]

I don't know how you do it. Don't you get nauseated arguing for Michigan?

I fight for truth. I actually love Georgia, they're probably my favorite SEC team.

 

[Across The Field]

Wisconsin should be no where near the top 10.

That is all.

That's not true. They're 5th in wins and winning % in the CFP era, along with playing one of the tougher schedules. They're by every measure top 10.

Hahaha I missed you had them in since you put them at 10th. How absurd. A team that has finished no higher than 17th in the rankings, is tied for 15th in winning percentage, and has only played in the Las Vegas Bowl vs G5 teams (x2) and the Foster Farms Bowl is 10th.

You're valuing them in a convoluted, subjective way. That much is clear.

Finished ranked every season. Which you would be surprised how few that number is, and tied for 10th among P5 teams in winning %.

Dunno how you can call a team #10 in the entire country over 3 years when the best bowl they've played in is the Foster Farms Bowl, but I suppose it's not the most illogical part of your rankings.

When you're one of like 6 teams to finish ranked every season that has to count for something. In regards to UGA and Michigan. Do you prefer seasons of 9th, 26th and 36th or 10th, 12th and like 60th in terms of final ranking? And neither team has a significant bowl win to speak of.

If I'm looking at things objectively? I'm definitely taking the team that's been ranked in or near the top 10 in two of three years (two years running), especially given the extreme disparity in elite opponents, over the team that can only finish ranked once, despite playing in a super weak division devoid of elite opponents.

Just waiting for Michigan fans to this

Michigan fans have nothing to bitch about. They haven't done anything. When the CFP started -- UM had a losing record for a few years. Only the last two years did UM actually win some games. Hell -- I wouldn't have been upset if UM wasn't even in the top 25 of this.

I thought the CFP was 4 years old, looks like it is only 3. Still UM has nothing to bitch about, they haven't done anything special.

I would put Bammer and tOSU as 1a and 1b. tOSU was a fluke loss to MSU from going back to back.

I thought about that as well but Ohio State looked like nothing special from week one all the way to week twelve. After that loss they woke up and kicked ass. Hard to say whether they would have kept sleep walking into the playoffs or not.

I just don't know if anybody could stop Zeke at the end of the year.....

Tressel made the decision to put the idiot brothers Beck and Warriner up in the booth and off the field, which is what made all the difference.

Ummm Jim Tressel left in 2010, that game was 2015. After an entire class has gone through the doors, it's on Urban's head for not making any changes.

Well he had a 2.8 yards per carry, so yeah, he could be stopped.

 

[Olyduck]

Maybe I missed it but I was still looking for your reasoning behind Oregon so low.

I see you don't understand what I said. After the MSU game, Urban changed the dynamic of how the offense was coached and we responded by posting 40+ points in back to back games vs. top 10 teams.

You are going to reward a team because they lost and didn't make the playoffs as if they didn't lose that game and made the playoffs?

Is your real name Skip Bayless?

It doesn't matter because it didn't happen. They lost, and they didn't make it.

If we gonna play this game, then fuck it - Alabama was 2013 National Champions. Kick six was the only thing that kept us out of it, and why let what actually happened change anything right?

Like I originally said, that Ohio State team slept walked the entire season. Who's to say anything would have changed had Ohio state not lost to Michigan's state.

 

[4down20]

Alabama and Clemson were really 1a and 1b national champions last year.

After all, we were just a pick play away from winning it all, so that's what is important.



The shit some of you say is just mind boggling to me. There is actually a debate on if Ohio St should be given playoff credit...in a year they didn't make the playoffs...because the only thing that kept them out was...they lost a game.

I wonder what @TigerBait1971 is doing right now.
