Cupcake State plays in the minor leagues. Simple as that.A 6-4 Texas team which has been beaten by L.S.U. (45-38) and Oklahoma (34-27) and T.C.U. (37-27) and Iowa freaking State (23-21) is currently ranked # 19 in the absurd excuse for a college football playoff ranking. Yet 9-1 Boise State is ranked two spots BELOW this 6-4 Texas team - which will almost certainly be 6-5 after next weekend's trip to play AT # 13 ranked and 9-1 Baylor.
And I knew you would do so.
Don't ignore the fact that Oregon football has won in Boise before. Only a matter of time before it happens again.

Look, if a minor league team wants better recognition, join a top conference. Your conference schedule doesn't match up. I shouldn't have to tell you that. Well, maybe I should at that. Then you'll get to go to the bowl games we do.
Theres not much difference between 4-30 this year imo. Which is why i dont care how you raml the top 3. Theyre clearly the best teams so use whatever way you want to rank them. However , because theres not much difference between 4 and 30, i think it becomes incumbent on the committee to use results and criteria starting at 4. The "eye test" simply doesnt work this year for those spots because theres so little difference .A close loss to Iowa State doesn't make Texas any worse of a team than they were prior to playing them IMO.
That said, Texas shouldn't have been rated that high...but SOMEONE has to fill out the last 15 spots. And there probably isn't much difference in #15 - #35 truth be told.!
You should have just stopped at "The IDIOCY....."

I wouldn't sweat Boise State being ranked ahead of Texas, but still Boise State lost to BYU. BYU has lost to teams such as Toledo & USF and eeked out wins against teams like Liberty. Texas on the other hand has their worst loss to TCU and half their losses to top 10 ranked opponents. If you look at best win then that goes to Texas and their defeat of Kansas State. Boise State's best win was over FSU, the same FSU that just canned Willie Taggart. Then there's the matchup test, if Texas and Boise State played tomorrow Id probably take Texas -6.5 points. (It would be a fun game.)
