The IDIOCY of the College Football Playoff Rankings

[BamaDude]

Im just pissed Minnesota is still at 8 and Iowa is still at 20. Its like they dont even care the game happened. If they dont change it by tomorrow im filing an official complaint. And if they do change it after reading this ill take that as a sign i am now the chair of the committee

I'll take a one-loss Minnesota team over a 3-loss Iowa team, even if that one loss was at Iowa. If the Gophers lose again, then I might reconsider.

 

[BamaDude]

Don't ignore the fact that Oregon football has won in Boise before. Only a matter of time before it happens again.

Yeah, they won in Boise, but not against Boise.

We'd love to be in the PAC, we've tried to get into several "upgrades". If it was as easy as you seem to imply, we'd have done it long ago. You don't seem to understand how exclusive these good ol' boy clubs are.

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

OP knows something we don’t know.
How much Bama dropping in the rankings? Dying to know

Pretty sure Bama sits around #18 now

… cries of overrated incoming.

Well sure but to not drop at all???!!!!! THE OUTRAGE

So...think BSU could get into the Big 12 b4 the PAC?

This is why we need rainbows back.

Texas also eeked out a win over Kansas. To be fair

Texas's losses to TCU & Iowa St. were to 5-5 & 6-4 teams. The win against KSU was against what is now a 6-4 team. What Texas has going for it is that its first two losses were by 7 points each to unbeaten LSU & once-beaten Oklahoma. But they are not being penalized enough for the other two losses.

At least Boise's loss was to a team that also had a win over USC - arguably the 3rd best team in the PAC - and the only one to hand Utah a loss so far this season.

We'll see where they are tonight

I think bullshit is more appropriate

To pull a prediction out of my ass Id guess Boise State is one spot ahead of Texas tonight.

- What might cause the drama tonight is if Alabama remains at #5 (I think they will for now) and Penn State jumps both O & Utah and moves into the 6th spot.

Texas SHOULD be unranked......Boise will be around 20

 

[Rolltide94]

And I knew you would do so.

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.

Speaking of minor leagues The Pac-12 is 1-18 over the last 3 seasons versus OOC ranked teams....just sayin.


Speaking of bowl games...wasn't Oregon in the Last Vegas Bowl with Boise two years ago...how'd that go?

Id be shocked if Texas is still ranked. They dont even have the best resume of the 4 loss teams ( thats Iowa St who just beat them )

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.

I wouldnt. They wouldn't necessarily be in my top 25, but they'll get credit for playing two top 10 teams tough and playing Iowa State on the road to within a FG. Plus, it's Texas...Being overrated is sort of their thing.

Thats a fair point lol. That said ISU has 4 losses , all to top 25 teams, by 1, 2, 1 and 7 and they beat Texas. If any 4 loss team gets ranked i think itll be them but im not wcen sold on that

You can bet Texas A&M will make their debut this week, after that Huge win over 4-7 South Carolina, they beat Georgia though!!!!

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

@Bronco754 didn't do his fanbase any favors with this trainwreck of a thread

Our program is a sinking ship so the shoe fits

I need to do my part and start contributing bad threads

I will argue the premise of this thread is correct, the playoff committee has put out crappy rankings so far but the reasoning wasn't all there

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