Alright do explain how preseason rankings are NOT based on nothing but speculation.

If they lose to LSU and fail to win their division, they have proven to be undeserving. Unless a bunch of other conference champs end up with 2 losses.
Let’s look at the BigTenThose OOC games were against
Louisville (2-6)
Miami (5-3, unranked, 4th place in their ACC division)
Washington (6-3, unranked)
Kansas State (3-5)
Texas Tech (5-3, unranked, 5th in Big 12)
Murderers row..........
Let’s look at the BigTen
Ohio State - Oregon State and TCU both trash
Michigan - Notre Dame loss
Michigan St - ASU loss
Wisconsin - BYU Loss
Penn State - 4-4 Pitt
Northwestern - Duke Loss, Akron Loss

And you, an Ohio State Buckeye fan, crying about how an Alabama who might not make a conference championship game and make the playoffs, is one of the dumbest things considering Ohio State was the first team to do it in the playoffs.And?
Trying to boast up the SECs OOC wins as something great is a garbage argument.

How?The system is already broke. How you gonna break whats already broken?

What does that have to do with your claim that the preseason rankings matter so much in the final rankings?
I'm not saying they played a murderes row schedule at all because it's not. But you still need to beat them to change the perception. And like I said earlier you can't take on bad losses OOC. In the same way it looks good for the bottom teams to have wins over a top 25 team, in looks equally as bad for a team to have lost to Akron and Duke OOC and be leading their division. NW would be a top 12 team if they won both those games. And both those teams are mediocre.
The preseason rankings set the table for the entire season of rankings. Its a starting point based on absolutely nothing but speculation and assumptions.
So that’s a different situation because it benefited OSU. Fact of the matter is you want to be pissed off over a situation that hasn’t happened yet because you want to fake outrage. You seem like a person who enjoys being miserable because you want a system to break because you want an even worse system in place.Different situations
Im saying if 3 conference champs (hell if even 1 or 2 do) have 1 loss and Bama has 1 loss without winning their division, the conference champ should without question get in over the. If the record is the same the conference champ should always go.
Ohio State had 1 loss. Ped State had 2
As last year Ohio State had 2 losses and Bama had 1.
So to you the end rankings always mirror those arbitrary preseason versions?The preseason rankings set the table for the entire season of rankings. Its a starting point based on absolutely nothing but speculation and assumptions.

If you go auto bids then just go to round robins for every conference, no nonconference games since they would be rendered absolutely meaningless. No conference championship game since you already played everyone in conference. Auto bids are horrible.The issue with autobids is real if you stay at 4 teams . If you expand it's less problematic . I think the "it'll promote weaker schedules thing " is wrong though . Promotng weaker schedules is what our current system does. When you take 1 loss non division champs over 2 loss conference champs who played tough ooc games you're basically telling teams that having less overall losses is more important than winning your league . That will inherently lead to weaker schedules at least for P5 teams
So to you the end rankings always mirror those arbitrary preseason versions?
That's patently dumb. Teams fail to live up to those every single year and fall hard every single time. Every single year teams not in preseason top 25 do better than expected and rise up. Without fail.
And the playoff committee doesn't even use them! Their first top 25 list doesn't mirror ANY OF THEM. They create their own criteria and do not do so until well past mid season when there is enough data for that data to entirely stand on their own, without preconceived notions.
Logic fail man. Entirely.

Yes and you are getting pissy over something that hasn’t happened because you to go to a shittier system.No its different because 1 Loss is < 2
