🏈 Bama loses by 3 on the road and drops seven spots. Michigan loses by 29 at home and drops 1?

Love to hear the committee’s logic on how Alabama dropped seven spots for losing by three on the road against a top 12 team yet Michigan dropped just one spot despite losing by 29 at home. Looks like a rig job to make Ohio State’s win over Michigan look better & justify tanking.

And don’t even get me started on Wisconsin at 8.

It feels like some members of the committee are trying to keep Ohio State’s resume strong — by artificially inflating Michigan and Wisconsin’s rankings — to avoid LSU overtaking Buckeyes at number one with a win over Georgia.

I feel like margin of defeat is not getting factored in at all. If you get obliterated by someone, it needs to be significant. All losses aren’t equal.

Alabama, Auburn and Florida would all be touchdown or more favorites over Wisconsin. Bama would be a 14 point favorite over Badgers. Florida clearly has a vastly superior resume to Badgers. Yet all are ranked below Wisconsin. Why? Committee rig job for Ohio State.

Final thought: how in the world can the committee have Penn State at ten, which is EIGHT SPOTS above Minnesota, a team with the same record that they lost to head-to-head? Simple, Penn State is artificially inflated to bolster the resume of Ohio State.

One of the real dangers of the committee is their rankings can be padded to artificially justify whatever result they wish to reach. Look at Oklahoma State, for instance, at 24. Voila, OU just added a top 25 win. Which will he cited in OU vs Utah. Committee members can rig system

All that is ridiculous....while I don’t understand the logic....I don’t see intentional padding by committee..... and why anything for OSU....they are in top 4 and it all will work out...if u make top 4...

We all know how the committee is in favor of Bama!

 

[RollllTide!]

Without BAMA in the playoffs, The teams in there will never really know if they are the best. Voodoo logic at best. The BAMA fatigue will be over this season and we will be back.

I think they ranked the boogs so high so they could potentially get a better bowl game.

Shit, I really wish they would put the cum swallowers from Lee county in the playoffs. They were talking about it, even after their 3rd loss of the season. They want them in, hell, put them in. I'd enjoy every moment of Ohio State skull dragging them

The committee is an absolute joke. They have never been consistent about anything other than their consistency. IMO they should have just kept the BCS formula and let that pick the Top 4.

Bama would still be favored over many of the teams ahead of them including the Barn turds.

Play this years Iron Bowl 10 times and Bama wins 7-8 of them. Play Michigan and Ohio State 10 times and Michigan wins 0 of them.

I still don’t understand why the BCS formula wasn’t used instead of this committee. We all know that when you get that many people in there, you are going to get that many varying opinions plus a few wanting to call in favors. I’m fine with the playoff, just use the BCS formula.

Ole Clay may be on to something here.

Bama in top 4.....isnt that best one? ( dont even go there about this year...lol)

i'm still wondering how auburn was ranked 12th with 3 damn losses!

if we lost that many, it'd be a good bet we'd be out of the top 20...maybe even top 25.

I suppose that is the "good loss" logic.....

It reminds me of the Gameday sign I saw earlier this year....

The Playoff Committee has awarded Germany a victory in WWII based on the strength of their one loss. lol

Where's the line drawn on the number of good losses? My god, look at A&M this season. They've got five losses on the season to teams that were ranked (at game time) #1, #8, #1, #4, and #2.

 

[bamanc50]

The playoff committee wanting Alabama as far from the top 4 playoff teams as possible. This proves one thing. Alabama has not set the standard for other programs. In the eyes of the committee the standard only applies to Alabama. Think about it!!

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

I really believe that they have tried to keep the BAMA-CLEMSON game from happening again. Bama got slighted in the rankings. No way we should be out of the top 10!

 

[mando]

The D shouldn't be in the top 25 much less the top 10.
