I'm consistent in ranking them based on their losses.

Current.....

#3 Clemson
#16 Auburn
#5 Alabama

I'm ranking Auburn the same way. However, I've got Auburn considerably higher for their quality win over #6 Oregon.

None of either A&M or Auburn's losses are akin to say #4 Georgia's 's loss to (4-7) South Carolina or #8 Oklahoma's loss to (NR) Kansas St, #7 Utah's loss to (NR) USC, #14 Wisconsin's loss to (NR) Illinois, @18 Memphis' loss to (NR) Temple, #22 Okie Jr's loss to (4-6) Texas Tech, etc..

We're gonna rank Georgia #4 who LOST to (4-7) South Carolina at home, yet punish A&M who's 3 losses were all to ranked teams and beat the same (4-7) South Carolina (30-6)?

You don't have to defend Georgia to me. I have Georgia Top 5 and CFP bound if they win out. I used other examples of other teams that are ranked with worst losses.

Just saying putting A&M somewhere 23, 24, 25 based on quality losses is nothing to get butt hurt about. If there were a bad loss (i.e. A NR) in there, I'd have to thought harder about it.
I personally think they'd give any of the ranked G5 teams a good game if not beat them outright.

I try to stay out of the 'SEC Bias' stuff. If you want to shut the "SEC SEC SEC" stuff up, then do what Clemson did and beat them. Otherwise STFU.

#16 Auburn: 27
#6 Oregon: 21

#15 Notre Dame: 3
#4 Georgia.......: 17

#1 LSU: 45
tejas...: 38

Kansas St got by SEC (4-6) Mississippi St (31-24), but #8 Oklahoma couldn't get by Kansas St.

The great thing about your rankings is they’re consistent and it’s hard to complain about rankings that aren’t biased because they’re all judged equally on performance.

That being said, I’d guess your face palms are from people who don’t know what your formula is or just don’t like that it appears losses are all treated equally.

I'm sure. I don't take offense. Just find it amusing. All opinions are welcome.
