Well, that's because you lost to a BYU team with a losing record....and played literally no one else.

OP I need some lottery numbers since you already know the rankings tonight?

1,2,3,4.

The other numbers, don't worry about them, they don't matter.

The AP damn sure ditched them. Iowa State received the most votes of a team not in the top 25 as well after beating Texas, but I think that was their first win over a team with a winning record.

Regardless of records, I think you can put K-State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Texas and TCU all in a hat and just draw them out to rank them. If they played each other 10 times it very well could be 5-5 in all the series. And Tech and West Virginia ain't that far behind them. And Baylor ain't much in front of them if any. JMO.

What an absolute joke, they've been blown out by every worthwhile opponent they've played.

SEC teams are constantly ranked based on who they lose to, not who they beat.

A&M hasent even been impressive against the scrubs, they barely got by Arkansas and Ole Miss

BoiseStateFan27 · Nov 19, 2019

How is SMU only 25th?

USC is ranked??

Apparently the committee thinks that BYU doesn't suck?

BoiseStateFan27 · Nov 19, 2019

LOL Minnesota is behind Penn State

Well Texas A&M is not ranked, so they did something right

"Alabama carried on convincingly without Tua"

THEY SCORED 3 2ND HALF POINTS AGAINST MISSISSIPPI STATE!? How is that convincing?

osubuckeye89 · Nov 19, 2019

So they want to "wait and see" on Bama based on the results of a game against a 3 loss #16 Auburn team.....good lord

Better hope Oregon and Utah both make it to the PAC title game with 1 loss.....thats the only thing preventing another 2 SEC team playoff. Im convinced theyd put Tua-less Bama in over Oklahoma at this point

But scoring 3 points in a half against Mississippi State without Tua was very convincing, can't wait until they argue how impressive they look against the high school they play this week

Western Carolina isnt just a FCS team. They are a 3-8 FCS team. Fresh off a 31-13 loss to 5-6 Samford (ironically Auburns opponent this week) NC State a 4-6 ACC team beat said team 41-0

But yes we will here how "impressive they looked without Tua"

fredmccallyRTR · Nov 19, 2019

Let's see,

Texas is out of the top 25 and Boise State is in, and good. Penn State didn't jump Utah or Oregon. Alabama is still in 5th.

Man, after the last time they put two SEC teams in the playoff and they got beat 31-0 and 38-0 I doubt they would do that again... ............

Seems no worst than Cincinnati who only has 1 win over anyone in the top 50 and lately barely escaping #85 USF and #115 ECU :clap:

Considering Arkansas lost by 27 to a 4-6 North Texas team. Lost to a 4-6 Colorado State team and just got blown out by Western Kentucky. I’ll consider A&M surviving them to be worse in comparison.

A&M also has no wins of note. (1 is better than 0) And don’t even try to claim South Carolina as one.

It's hard to join a "Big Boy" league when your stadium seats less than 40,000.

I have no problem with minimum criteria as long as it's well defined. The problem is there are several moving targets to "join a better conference". Many schools without P5 status have plenty big stadiums, many that do have P5 status do not meet the minimum criteria that I have heard spouted for years. This goes for stadium size, academics, research universities, population densities, student population, number of majors, location, etc. etc.

I think if you define the criteria and hold schools to it, they will figure out if they want to achieve those standards. Right now, it's just excuses to maintain the status quo.

There is only one criteria. MONEY. It can come in two forms. How many more research dollars would a new member bring. How much more television revenue would a new member create for the conference...mainly via viewership demand.

Absolutely nothing else matters.

So kick out all P5 schools that are not bringing in the money then? There are G5 schools bringing in a lot more money than several P5.

It's such a fucking joke. If the 2-3 teams behind bama have impressive wins, they should all move up.....
