So, Did They Sneak Fresno State in the Top 25 to Benefit Bama?

Yes it's a conspiracy and you should stay up all night writing your senators and representatives to pass laws against this.

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Let's add to this conspiracy theory

we were ranked in the top 25

We suddenly played like garbage last week, did the committee pay us to throw the game against Fresno State just to rank them and put Alabama in the playoff??

Bama boosters got a lot of money to throw around

@osubuckeye89 should put that in his letters as proof.

Yeah, we're gonna need you to do that again this week... thanks!

Depends on how much you paid...you need to throw a few mil in there and we will make it happen

That was the most shocking thing of the entire poll. The committee usually absolutely hates mid majors teams, and yet we see a 3 loss mid major sneak in at 25.

The cameramen on the OSU sidelines are behind everything sir

Furthermore 2 loss San Diego St which has a win over #12 Stanford is no where to be seen in the poll. Yet 3 loss Fresno St is in. There is just something wrong with that.

Sagarin has Boise State ranked 36 and last I checked the scoreboard on the weekend read Boise 17 Fresno St 28, and apparently the AP voters had the same opinion as the committee, so I'm not sure I would look for shit that isn't there.

The real question should be how Ohio State, Penn St and Michigan St are 8, 9, and 16.

They have 7 losses between them, and collectively they have done this Out of Conference.

LOST to Oklahoma 31-16
Beat 8-3 Army 38-7
Beat 5-7 UNLV 54-21
Beat 7-5 Akron 52-0
Beat 5-7 Pitt 33-14
Beat 6-4 Georgia State 56-0
Beat 2-10 Bowling Green 35-10
Beat 6-6 Western Michigan 28-14
and
Lost to 9-3 Notre Dame 38-18

So, #8, 9 and 16 have only played 2 currently ranked CFP teams out of conference and got their shit pushed in both times by #3 and #15.

If there is a conference being artificially propped up it is the B1G.

Nothing about your performance OOC this year indicates you deserve to have 4 teams in the top 16 and nothing about your bowl performance last year would indicate that you should have started the year with 4 teams in the preseason top 11 this year.

Not to mention that you've been shut out in the last two playoff appearances.

Just sayin.

If they did it didn't seem to give Washington any kind of boost.

And where is San Diego St in the MWC standings? I'm guessing they are behind the Fresno State team they lost to 27-3...funny how that works.

 

[podsox]

Clearly yes. Keeping miss st in their didn't hurt either

Well your ahead of Georgia and sitting at home this wkend

 

[Rolltide94]

Well your ahead of Georgia and sitting at home this wkend

But behind them in the SEC standings just like San Diego St is behind Fresno. If Fresno loses this weekend they will fall out and if Georgia wins this weekend they will jump us...no great mystery.

San Diego State did get crushed by Fresno State, they should be ahead of them

We also beat San Diego State and would have to be ahead of them also...unless you put San Diego State in at about 22nd, and punished us and Fresno State for our bad losses

I'll be damned, I really didn't think losing to Auburn could in some manner be entertaining for me.
