Ok, an article on Al.com, with stats for teams with byes before Bama, and games after playing Bama.
"SEC teams without a bye week after Alabama: 21-25"

Better to take your bye week after playing Alabama, not before

That's awesome.

I mean, we've played 3 ranked (at the time) conference teams that were undefeated at the time of the game. (UGA, aTm, LSWho). We physically demoralized them so badly, they haven't fully recovered.

It would make sense to have a week off to lick your wounds after we beat dat ass into submission.

What reporters say has absolutely no bearing on the rankings. Don't get worked up about what they say - good or bad. It's simply their opinion.

When I look at the committee a few of them pop out as part of a group that wouldn't care what the national media was thinking. I have a very hard time believing 75%+ of them are not sitting in front of their TV's on Tuesday evening listening to and watching reactions. The exposure to those criticisms are bound to have a bearing on their rankings.

Even if the cable/satellite providers start the fail, ESPN will not be one that fails. You're right that more and more people are cutting the chord with options like Netflix, Sling, Hulu Plus, and now even HBO going the HBONow route (you can pay $15 a month to stream HBO even if you dont have it on your cable), but regardless live sports (especially football) is still BY FAR the most watched LIVE television out there. And if ESPN decides to stream their content live via the internet with options like that of Netflix or HBO (in fact I think Sling already offers certain ESPN channels) then that would probably cripple cable but ESPN is still going to be making all the money. As easy as it is sometimes to watch illegal streams those streams suck most of the time and often times fail or crap out so getting a cheaper and legal stream will still make them ass loads of money. So either way Disney wins again.

Right now you are right all the way, however the reason disney owns ESPN is in part because it was not making it on its own against the networks. Their cash helped them to get more live games. This will continue until emerging video technology changes an event. I would have never thought the film industry would die, or now the camera industry is losing its main product. The smart phone can't do this by itself, but it is becoming a device that has replaced the need to buy a small camera. Mine talks to me and reads me a text when I am driving so these devices are going to be delivering content that is live. ESPN has better equipment now to do this but if you merge 20 cell phone cameras with the right kind of processing you end up with a panoramic shot that is hard to beat. It would be an experience like being on the 50 yard line or the 20 yard line when you want to. You would be able to pick the feed you want.

I can't see this taking place of ESPN, but I can see it supplementing an event much like the scoreboard banner. ESPN will have to keep up with this or they will have a problem. If the quality equals a live broadcast or exceeds the one ESPN produces then they have a problem staying relevant. I know now that the technology is not quite ready for prime time but it is coming, and once it is you will be able to enjoy a game with a different announcer, and if you don't like that one, just choose another one. You can also merge a live feed and a live broadcast to make your own or roll your own version.
 
Yall need to take it easy on them, Danny can't help it that he underachieved in his NFL career and has to live through the one lone title FSU could manage to Forest Gump their way into a few years ago. And Heather has her daily trauma of dealing with that awful forehead of hers that just screams "look at me, I am so big" while she is on camera. I am not sure why we have become the kicking post for their anxiety but nevertheless, we seem to be the therapy they need. :-)

Most of the committee members are traveling home during the broadcast of the rankings. Remember that the rankings are not based on a poll where votes are tabulated. The committee discusses each team and where they should be. If "their" team is being discussed, they are not included in the discussion.
 
Kanell and Galloway are such asshats that they would be arguing for their team over BAMA even if they were 0-10 headed to meet a 10-0 BAMA! Neither will give BAMA the respect nor will they give Henry any respect for the Heisman. Galloway will push his boy Elliott, while Kanell pushes Cook.
Dinich is laughable as a college football "expert"!! I would rather them bring back Lou Holtz and let me listen to his Sylvester imitation. At least he is more believable.

Partly true, partly a little misconception on your part.

There is more than one vote and more than one series of rankings based on those votes. While it may not be a "poll," it's certainly a case where votes/points are being tabulated.

The College Football Playoff site ... mentions this almost a half of a dozen times I suspect.

WWE is actually doing those 360 cameras for a ringside virtual reality app they are doing. I just dont ever see that kind of thing taking over the conventional way we have been watching football for a century damn near it. Its always good to be innovative and maybe it will catch on but I just dont ever see that takign over.

Much like the "cockpit cam" in DirecTv NASCAR broadcasts. A supplement to the live broadcast.

Here's the process as stated on the CFP website:

College Football Playoff Selection Committee Voting Process
  1. Each committee member will create a list of the 30 teams he or she believes to be the best in the country, in no particular order. Teams listed by three or more members will remain under consideration. At the conclusion of any round, other teams can be added to the group of teams under consideration by a vote of three or more members.
  2. Each member will list the best six teams, in no particular order. The six teams receiving the most votes will comprise the pool for the first ranking step. This is known as the ā€œlisting step.ā€
  3. In the first ranking step, each member will rank those six teams, one through six, with one being the best. The best team in each memberā€™s ranking will receive one point; second-best two points, etc. The membersā€™ rankings will be added together and the three teams receiving the fewest points will become the top three seeds. The three teams that were not seeded will be held over for the next ranking step.
  4. Each member will list the six best remaining teams, in no particular order. The three teams receiving the most votes will be added to the three teams held over to comprise the next ranking step.
  5. Steps No. 3 and 4 will be repeated until 25 teams have been seeded. There will be seven rounds of voting; each round will consist of a ā€œlisting stepā€ and a ā€œranking step.ā€

We'll hear:

"LSU obviously isn't who we thought they were, they were beat handily by Arkansas after losing to Alabama...Arkansas"

"That home loss to Ole Miss tho"

Etc...

Everybody likes stats and metrics... right, Kannell? Right, Dinich?

Here's the most GLARING stat for all the blatant Bama-hating media d!cks...
