Michael Gould - Air Force
Tom Jernstedt,- Oregon
Condoleeza Rice - professor at Stanford southerners most upset she is on the committee, Likes the Cleveland Browns
Steve Weiberg - a sports writer lives in Missouri

For me, any team that is undefeated is in, they earned the right to be there. Twelve or thriteen weeks they went out and risked a loss, and did not lose, put them in. If you have two losses, I can't put you in.

Situation 1 Teams A, B, E, F
Situation 2 Teams A, B, C, D
Situation 3 Teams A, B, D, F

Hopefully, I read all the bios correctly since I won't be able to edit. Only caveat, if one of the teams I selected has two or more losses, they should NOT be on my list.

Here's the problem with your mindset: Why play good OCC opponents period? If going undefeated is so important, why should you challenge yourself?

I will also interpret your typed words, since you interpreted mine.

I want to add that none of your situations mentioned that, I was applying my logic to your particular "situations."

All the AQ conferences play other teams in their conferences. Which means that they are not playing all cupcakes. The NCAA has pretty much eliminated that now, by denying teams the ability to play an FCS team.

The stink that would be raised by the media and the public would pretty much deny the team that played only Memphis, North Carolina State, Purdue, Iowa State, Kansas, Temple, Idaho, Southern Miss, Miami of Ohio, Western Michigan, and Georgia State.. Don't you think?

Why would anyone want to participate in this thread now, if you just want to argue about it.

I need the names and the amount I'm getting offered by each team in order to properly mimic the committee

 

[Mistaken4193]

I pick whichever team is Alabama.
