According to ESPN they have the highest SOS of the unbeaten teams.Washington is #1 in SOR ?
Okay, I miss remembered thinking Oregon was above Bama. It still didn’t make much sense to me. Oregon has a cupcake schedule, seems like their SOR should be much lower, same for FSU.![]()

It is harder to go undefeated against even a weak schedule than you might think. FSU is only ranked so high in SOR because they have done that - so far.Okay, I miss remembered thinking Oregon was above Bama. It still didn’t make much sense to me. Oregon has a cupcake schedule, seems like their SOR should be much lower, same for FSU.
GC reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule.Okay, I miss remembered thinking Oregon was above Bama. It still didn’t make much sense to me. Oregon has a cupcake schedule, seems like their SOR should be much lower, same for FSU.
In that resume rankings, what are the last 2 columns; GC and AVGWP? I’m on my phone so I can’t hover my “cursor” over them to see if a description pops up.
It's not a ranking, it's a power rating. As in who would be favored vs other teams on a neutral field. Pate's model says Bama would be favored over every team not named UGA on a neutral field.This ranking system is nuts.
So two Pac teams in at 12-1 and no Bama, SEC champion at 12-1?Here’s one for you:
So what happens if Louisville beats FSU &….
Texas loses the Big XII CG
The way this committee is set up, they’d make a case for Washington (assuming they lose to Oregon) seeing that one loss in the same manner as they did TCU with K-State. Virtually they have it in their minds that Washington is already a playoff team and Oregon would have a quality win beating a team they already lost to. While that seems ridiculous, I wouldn’t put it past them.
I really don’t trust this committee.
I don't know, it might be smart on their part. If they think UGA wins out, they take the path of least resistance and at the same time create controversy to bring clicks and eyeballs. We as fans all want to see Bama ranked higher but I don't think we earn that until we beat Georgia. If Georgia beats us, the committee can say they were justified in keeping us below UTx and Oregon.The committee is basically treating Alabama like they couldn't possibly beat Georgia.
They are going to end up looking a lot stupider than they already do if that happens.
This is where I would argue that something like this should carry far more weight than the utterly absurd style points the committee seems to favor right now.It's not a ranking, it's a power rating. As in who would be favored vs other teams on a neutral field. Pate's model says Bama would be favored over every team not named UGA on a neutral field.
Haven’t watched so far this season. Not planning on watching until after CCG’s if that. I get all the info and opinion I want/need from this thread/forum. I’m on the side of the fence that realizes this committee is not about selecting the 4 best or most deserving teams based on SOS, SOR, teams improvement or total body of work. This committee is all about the culture of inclusivity. Until and unless the usual total chaos weekend occurs, and we’re quickly running out of time, they won’t move Alabama into the top four. They’ve postured themselves into a corner now and there’s nothing they can do to make them look even remotely competent about doing their job relative to guidelines and procedures they should have been working with all along. Based on the way the first 3rd of season started to where we are right now I’m very happy with the result up to this point. Now all we can do is finish strong and hope.And I get dumber every time I watch the CFP committee President and Heather Dinich back to back.
I can see that. And if we do beat Georgia it gives them a "chance" to shoot us up the rankings. IDK.I don't know, it might be smart on their part. If they think UGA wins out, they take the path of least resistance and at the same time create controversy to bring clicks and eyeballs. We as fans all want to see Bama ranked higher but I don't think we earn that until we beat Georgia. If Georgia beats us, the committee can say they were justified in keeping us below UTx and Oregon.
The problem is that Bama could be 8-3 right now and might still be ranked #2 in a power poll. Power ranking is potential, which teams like Bama and UGA have in spades, but it's a team sport so what you do with that talent has to matter.This is where I would argue that something like this should carry far more weight than the utterly absurd style points the committee seems to favor right now.
Pate is a little obsessed with betting odds. I imagine their power ranking is a way for him to scratch that itch.The problem is that Bama could be 8-3 right now and might still be ranked #2 in a power poll.

I do think power ratings should be incoporated into the ranking system, but it shouldn't be the dominant driver.
This is why I would have preferred rankings being done similar to how the BCS was done. Remove the human element as much as possible. Politics gets involved at some point when a committee of people with agendas is in control.This is where I would argue that something like this should carry far more weight than the utterly absurd style points the committee seems to favor right now.
For instance, both Alabama and Oregon have one loss. So how do we differentiate the two? Well, Alabama has played better competition, so one could argue that should put them ahead, but the counter is that if Oregon has played better football then perhaps that should elevate them.
Well, who would be favored if the two played today? If it's Alabama, then the entire argument for Oregon crumbles because now the argument in favor of Oregon is basically style points. Oregon beat up inferior competition and ran up the score and that's why they're ahead in the rankings?
