2nd committee poll

[Diego Roll Tide]

What did he do?

My guess is set the Guinness record for lowest IQ.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

The committee gets worse every single year

This is ridiculous

Minnesota is undefeated, they have more top 25 wins than Clemson, Alabama, Oregon and Utah have combined

Baylor had some questionable performances this year but they still are undefeated and they have TWO TOP 25 ROAD WINS, yet are ranked well behind several one loss teams with ZERO

They say they don't look at the other polls and they have a "new set" of rankings each week but this is clearly false. Minnesota and Baylor weren't ranked highly in preseason and now they're paying for it.

Also where is SMU?? How did they drop out? I'll bash my own team here and mention that we have no business being ranked, we have beaten no one good and have an absolutely stinkbomb of a loss to a bad BYU team. We look like a hot pile of garbidge each week and SMU would beat us by 21....yet we're ahead of them?? Do they even watch the games?

 

[TigerBait1971]

Bama has clearky been better there than UGA.

Better wins or better loss?

or are you using the eye test?

I'm not so naive as to say Minnesota or Baylor would beat Alabama, but if they come out with these rankings later in the year to take into account how the teams have actually played this season rather than based on pre-season hype, why not just tell teams like this they might as well not try? Being unbeaten in a P5 conference on November 12th should put you ahead of basically every 1-loss P5 team unless that team has multiple ranked wins and barely lost in like the last seconds against another top team.

 

[tnapucco]

Who else did Oklahoma lose to?

We beat a 5-3 team...so, basically another loss.

Maybe they wouldn't, but I'd rather see this settled on the field. If Minnesota can beat Penn State they've earned the right to say they're better than one loss teams who haven't beaten anyone in the top 25.

I do that too.....and they use a committee also. Not sure how thinking an awful idea like voting teams into the playoffs suggests I go watch FCS though.

Football Championship Subdivision — The Division I Football Championship features a 20-team playoff. The champions in 10 conferences automatically qualify, while the other 10 teams are selected at-large by the Division I Football Championship Committee. From 1997 through 2010, the championship game was played in Chattanooga, Tennessee, before moving to Frisco, Texas, in 2011.

You are not very bright.

It is 24 teams and I said they use a committee too..........what did I get wrong?

 

[rmilia1]

or are you using the eye test?

I was speaking eye test. Bama clearly has the worst wins, UGA clearly has the worst loss so the only reason for either to be ahead of PSU is eye test so if youre using eye test then Bama should be ahead of UGA

I just googled it so i had something quick and quotable. It satisfies your socialistic need, go stay in the FCS and stop pretending to like FBS when it is just too capitalistic for you.

Because I want rules and not opinions to determine the playoffs? Capitalism requires a beauty contest format?

This system makes a ton of money the way it is, for good reason it is awesome just the way it is. FBS makes a shit load of money under its current format for a reason. FCS doesnt make a ton of money for a reason.

There exists a system that will satisfy your need for "rules" and "equal representation" it is called the FCS. Why should FBS be the same as the FCS?? if you enjoy FCS more move to FCS if you feel the FCS is more fair as a team move to the FCS it is pretty simple.


Stop bitching and go watch what already has automatic qualifying for conference champions thus no opinion needed except for the at large bids

The FBS makes money because it votes teams into the playoffs? Do you imagine rules are going to advance four G5 teams and the FBS will go broke? How much money are all of those sports that place and advance teams by rule throwing away by not using a committee to pick their playoff teams? Why not ignore the game results altogether and pick the four teams that will make FBS the most money?

 

[Wild Turkey]

Minnesota is too low georgia and bama are too high, oregon and utah too high wisconsin too high michigan too high cincinnati clearly not high enough amirite @Wild Turkey

Nailed it.

No FBS makes money for all the drama and pageantry and bowls and everything that has been working great for years.

GTFO with your retardation.


FCS is what you want, so GO WATCH FCS.


FBS is WAS just fine before the BCS was just fine with BCS and with 4 teams perfected teh BCS no need for more teams


no more need for "rules" which cannot actually tell what team is better but just says "this derp team went undefeated so they get in, even if they played 3 FCS no P5 and a bunch of poo poo G5 teams" That is what you want.

 

[Wild Turkey]

LOL at the bitching. You want in the playoffs win games. If you lose bitching ain't getting you in. Just deal.

 

[Yo Tee]

There's 0 legitimate reason to have UGA or Bama ahead of Penn State other than SEC bias. That said, it's irrelevant. If UGA wins out, including over LSU in the CCG, they have every right to be in the CFP.

There's no legit reason for Bama to be ahead of Penn State? I agree with you on Georgia but not Bama. Bama's loss is against the best team in the country. Penn State lost to a lesser ranked team. Naturally, a loss to an 8th ranked team hurts more than a loss to the #1 ranked team.

For the purposes here, I'm only arguing for replacing the committee with rules to determine the four playoff teams. Furthermore, my preferred idea rewards stronger scheduling much better than polls and committees. So your derp team is nonsense. BTW, you do understand that rules are about whose results are better? Simply favoring a better team because it is better even when it has accomplished less makes no sense.

Penn State also has wins over #15 at home and #20 on the road, and their close loss was on the road. Bama's only ranked opponent beat them on their home turf.

 

[Bayou Tiger]

I'm pretty shocked they dropped Bama out of the top 4.

Why?

Bama is done. They don't have a decent opponent for another two weeks whether they beat them or not. Then they @ Auburn for the last game they will play. The End. Enjoy the Sugar....
