Thanls, Cruloc!

I truly believe that the CFP (mostly unqualified) members use the old BCS Formula because they are either lazy or ignorant...

IMHO, they should simply revert back to the old BCS Formula...

I made that post BEFORE the loss to Oklahoma. I am most certainly NOT good with what this committee did in response to that game. I’ve posted elsewhere about my dissatisfaction with that group of morons.

They are not morons. They are getting paid.

They are not morons. They are getting paid.

My question is what does that say about the people who pay them?

Manipulators, that are getting paid even more. That is how mafia society works. College football isn't the product. We are.

I think maybe the brutal truth is this: college football fans over about the age of 25 or so have not yet come to grips with the brutal fact that the rankings - as @crimsonaudio eloquently has stated - are MEANINGLESS. Completely 100% meaningless.

But guess what would happen if "they" did away with the poll rankings?
The very same people who now complain about the rankings in the polls would whine BECAUSE THERE ARE NO POLLS!! But the brutal truth is - there aren't REALLY polls anymore in this anyway.

Ohio State......or Texas A/M......or Indiana.....any one of them right now could be ranked #1, and it would have the exact same meaning it does now: zilch. Name a team #1, and I can name you a strong argument as to why that team SHOULD NOT be #1.




============================

Ohio State - but who have they played? Their big win was against overrated Texas!

Texas A/M - okay, they beat Notre Dame.....but SEVEN other SEC teams are ranked and they haven't played ANY of them; they're only going to play ONE of them. Is a one-point win over ND REALLY better than a seven-point opening game win over Texas?

Indiana - they've literally had a two-game season, which is more than the two teams I mentioned above have. They massacred Illinois far worse than Ohio St did, and they beat Oregon handily on the road.

Alabama - there's a solid argument RIGHT NOW for Alabama to be #1 based on who they've beaten. The Tide has the BEST WIN (Georgia) of the four named but the WORST LOSS (FSU), too, since the others are undefeated. You can argue OSU/Indiana/aTm wouldn't beat UGA, but they probably wouldn't lose to FSU, either.

Georgia - a pair of good wins (Tenn/Ole Miss) but can you REALLY rank them above Alabama? Sure, it was a 3-point loss, but it was at home. If this game had been at BDS, you could make an argument for UGA.

Texas Tech - the worst schedule of any of these teams and they have a loss to a 6-3 team. Yeah, they killed Utah but how good is Utah anyway?

Ole Miss - not too bad of a loss against UGA (on the road) and one good road win. But how can you seriously rank them above UGA?

Oregon - they've scraped by twice in the Big Ten and lost at home to Indiana. And they didn't exactly blow out Wisconsin as Alabama and Ohio State did, either.

Notre Dame - played 3 teams currently ranked. Lost to two of them. "Good" losses, yes, but who exactly have they beaten? USC? Illinois beat USC.

I mean, in all honesty, you look at the above points, and Alabama PROBABLY has the best resume if Florida State is 6-3 instead of 4-5. But you can't overlook that loss, either, you just can't.

Trifecta Selma!!! The brutal reality of this post …..is that it’s brutally brutal

Having the committee drop us because we don't run the ball well is ridiculous.

Dropping us because we can't kick a field goal, that I can understand.

 

[22Musso22]

Too many conflicts of interest in the "Committee."

 

[Special K]

As others have said, what the committee chair said to defend some these rankings - especially ND vs Bama - are some of the most contradictory, nonsensical fantasies I’ve ever heard.

But I’m actually glad he said them out loud. If I’m CKD, I’ve got every single quote from that clown blown up life size and plastered all over the football facility alongside pictures of Brent Venables grinning like a Cheshire cat and Oklahoma players smoking cigars to utterly enrage every player on the team to the point they’re ready to beat Auburn like they stole something and then burn Toomer’s Drug Store to the ground on the way out of town.
