      Why they gotta win out, but Bama can get in with a bad loss?
Nov 11th 2015
39
           because that bama loss basically gonna be considered a fluke.
Nov 11th 2015
40
           i cant wait for another 1 loss conference champ to get squeezed out
Nov 11th 2015

They matched up pretty well in the Orange Bowl last year.

But I know Clemson is prone to remember they're Clemson at any given moment and go on a quick losing streak so I'd rather not look that far ahead.

330 perfect for tailgating, getting wasted and then recovering before you go out.

Except for news to have something dumb to talk about.

So TCU moves up for one week...then...


11/7: TCU @ OSU
11/14: OU @ Baylor
11/21: TCU @ OU
11/21: Baylor @ OSU
11/26: Baylor @ TCU
11/28: OU @ OSU



If Baylor and TCU make it to the 26th undefeated, then it will be interesting. Until then? Don't bother me with a playoff ranking this early on.

7. "Bama>Memphis? How is that logical?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

Bama has one loss. Memphis is undefeated.
Bama has one Top 25 win (#19 A&M). Memphis has one Top 25 win (#18 Ole Miss)
Common opponent: Memphis beat Ole Miss, Bama lost to Ole Miss.

Yet Bama is ranked #4 and Memphis is #13
It's not like Bama has huge style points for dominating everyone they play. They've stuggled quite a bit this year.

So what gives? My question is more why is Bama is ranked so high rather than why is Memphis so low.

29. "ive been saying it for years, even before the playoff"
In response to Reply # 27


  

          

And it really crystallized in 2011 when Bama played LSU

A true playoff with conference champions (ALL of them) is the only way its real. Im happy to have the elite matchups at the end but its validity as a method for determining a champ is meh. A traditional Rose Bowl matchup will always be more compelling to me than a voted on national championship game.

In response to Reply # 19


  

          

That would require a tremendous amount of chaos to get to multiple conference champions with 2 losses. Because thats what it would take. Incidentally, if they keep winning, Navy could ride that chaos to the first major bowl appearance for a service academy since they to Texas in the Cotton Bowl in the de facto national chamipionship.

The amount of time i just spent thinking about typing this post has already upset me. The format is so fucking stupid. I hate how hard the media tries to legitimize it.

UM beats top-5 teams in consecutive weeks (OSU and Iowa) and
the Pac-12 champion is a 3-loss team.

But yeah, that's assuming we win out, which I don't see
happening.

I agree it's weird that Iowa jumped as high as they did and that TCU was punished worse for losing to a good OSU than Sparty did for losing to a shitty Husker team, but Baylor has beat fuck all this season. If they win out, they'll deservedly be in the playoff.

These don't follow the normal poll logic, so it's not like these will look the same next week.

to OSU's schedule than Baylor. and Baylor purposely schedules junk OOC opponents every year.

now, as far as the playoff rankings go...if any of OSU, Baylor, Iowa win out then they're in the playoffs. If they don't, they won't be. So who really cares?

And I would say that dropping the undefeated reining NC champ 3 spots because of their easy schedule is the committees way of giving them grief because of their easy schedule.

That Ole Miss loss (at home) is looking worse every week.

I miss the BCS. Get the formulas back in this shit!

This month is a Big 12 Championship tournament, and it's working out great so far, but instead of praising it, the voters are punishing it for being too "back loaded" of a system. aka: "why are you taking away all the drama and manipulation we thrive off of? Here, Baylor, sit in timeout and think about what you are doing."

stubbornness and complaining isn't going to get you anywhere.

not to mention you had two big 12 teams last year complaining about getting snubbed so maybe the whole round robin deal ain't what it's cracked up to be.

regardless, if baylor wins out they're good to go.

Big 10's divisional alignment flaws are a separate issue altogether. and I don't think anyone is in rush to put Iowa in the playoffs.

Baylor fit every model of a round robin champion and that was all well and good.

Giving the team they beat a share of their championship was a colossal error. The round robin model is by far the best, but its not human-proof

edit: i saw a wacky rumor on another forum that the B12 wants to move the Bedlam game back a week to be the same week as conference championship week so they can be part of that last impresssion. they just need to go ahead and pick some teams to fill out the ranks so they can get a conf title game.

I actually think this week's rankings are right.

Beat Stanford and I think they'll be in. Trouble is, they're not going to beat Stanford.

The fact that Iowa hasnt lost to any of the mediocre teams they played is a terrible justification for a top 3 ranking

They are strong evidence that it isnt at all about resume

Although Florida should receive credit for exceeding expectations

QB play in the SEC is terrible though, thankfully Dak Prescott is around to avoid a black hole

I will say that Alabama is a very good team. What if Iowa beats Sparty and gets matched up against the Tide?

All it would take is Saban blowing Ferentz out of the water and the narrative starts to change back. Alabama matches up very well with Iowa as a whole methinks as Iowa doesn't have the athletes to keep up.

In response to Reply # 74


          

sorry guys, yall are better off just rooting for Saturday upsets to get back in the playoff. Mike Thomas complaining about anybody else's SOS is hilarious.

of course, there's no doubt the SEC is down. bama had the good fortune to lose at home early, something last year's national champ might remember. if they win Saturday they'll be a 12-1 Power Five champion, with only three teams having a possibly better resume.

bowl game stats? Big 12 went 1-3 in ranked bowl games last year and Iowa got curb-stomped by Tennessee in the year 2015. sourcing Cowherd's trolling is a new low point.

the real shame in SEC reputation this season would be Derrick Henry winning a Heisman for being spectacularly boring. although Connor Cook getting a NYC invite despite not playing in his team's biggest victory would be also high on the disgrace list.

UNC should be like 7 or 8 in the next CFP so if they knock off the #1 team they should be in as a 1 loss conf champ.

It would be funny, and im actually hoping for UNC to win and get bumped for the fallout that would result

But i dont see it happening. 12 game win streak capped off with a win over #1 for a Power 5 conference title should be an automatic ticket. If not, whats the point of it all?

This is the kind of thing ive been saying since last year. The thing will crumble if thats allowed to happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Sooners are #1 today and #5 for the playoff rankings at this point.

I have no idea what the criteria are.

-objective of the committee is to get the 4 best teams. everyone knows that OSU is better than UNC

we're trying to use objectivity to separate a bunch of 1-loss teams with different schedules. pretty much impossible to do this fairly.

In response to Reply # 88


  

          

>-UNC has played 2 FCS teams

Well they had a game cancel and they had to scramble to fill the date. If we hold them ay fault for that, how long until cancelling games becomes a weapon?

>-ACC is considered the weakest conf

Beyond fair to say. Although the SEC east champ just got bufu'd by the second place team in the Atlantic, and a 9-3 UGA team beat our 3-9 shitfest off of 2 RZ turnovers.

>-OSU loss to MSU is much better than loss to USC (especially
>if MSU makes playoffs)

That could reasonably be countered by pointing out that it was in August. 12 in a row would be impressive on its own.

>-objective of the committee is to get the 4 best teams.
>everyone knows that OSU is better than UNC

Cant really argue that, but the committee also shouldnt have license to devalue championships. UNC wins Saturday, and they have one.

>we're trying to use objectivity to separate a bunch of 1-loss
>teams with different schedules. pretty much impossible to do
>this fairly.

There is only one fair way. Win a conference and get in. Otherwise hope your resume earns you one of 6 at large bids. Only a 16 team playoff with everyone having a real chance to earn a bid makes it truly fair.

UNC is listed as a 30/1 favorite.

Think they know something?

It would be ironic if OSU made it into the playoffs. Last year the reason was that since the Big 12 didn't have a champ game OSU was more deserving. But then this year comes around and OSU would have to hop over a team with the same amount of losses and a conf championship on their resume.

I have no problem with this. But the B1G needs to realign their divisions immediately. You have a grand total of 4 teams that are trying to run legit programs and they're all in the same division.

Bowl game stats? Isn't the SEC 0-5 the last two years under the hot stage lights?

TCU 42, Ole Miss 3
Georgia Tech 49, MSU 34
Ohio State 42, Alabama 35
Oklahoma 45, Alabama 31
Florida State 34, Auburn 31


I do agree with Legacy NS that Florida upsetting Alabama is probably the only way the Buckeyes have a chance. I think the ACC is not a very good league this year and UNC's resume sucks but they will be in.

Although Osborne and Alvarez are still the key members of the group.

player crying from the Ohio State side. Buckeyes had a clear shot to the playoff and blew it at home; no need to whine about the system.

if the SEC's bad bowl season last year counts, then I guess the Big 12's 2-7 record in ranked bowl games since 2013 is a dire indictment against Oklahoma this season, right? it's a pointless stat when talking about teams in the following December.

1. Ohio State and North Carolina should have settled this: The Buckeyes and Tar Heels should have played by now.

No. 6 Ohio State and No. 10 North Carolina are both looking for help this weekend, with the Tar Heels looking to create their own luck in the ACC Championship against No. 1 Clemson.

Both are suffering from a lack of schedule strength. They were supposed to solve that for each other.

Reece Davis started ESPN's selection show on Tuesday by saying that the teams were originally supposed to play this season, which immediately sounded wrong. I knew Ohio State in August of 2014 had canceled a planned series with North Carolina that was supposed to be played in 2017 and 2018. I'd forgotten that the first game of that series was originally planned for 2015.

In November of 2012, Ohio State announced several schedule updates, one of which was moving a 2015 North Carolina game to 2018. The Buckeyes said it was at North Carolina's request. It wasn't until August of 2014 that North Carolina announced how it filled the holes on its 2015 schedule, with FCS teams North Carolina A&T and Delaware.

There was a time when Ohio State's nonconference schedule this season was North Carolina in week one, Northern Illinois in week two and at Virginia Tech in week three. Can you imagine what that week one game would have been like? The defending national champion against an unranked North Carolina team coming off a 6-7 season and picked to finish fifth in its division?

Can you imagine how it would look now? The loser would be out of the playoff mix. The winner would be much closer to in.
