🏈 Playoff Rankings..

[EasyTider]

Top 4 was anticlimactic as expected, but potential for chaos is definitely interesting. Unless Florida beats us by 3 scores, Bama 1, Ohio St 2. If Clemson or Washington get beat and Penn State wins and looks good/wins convincingly, does Michigan still get the 4th spot without winning their side of the division much less than conference champ? Yes, Mich. beat schitt out of PSU but that's been a while and PSU playing much better while Michigan has lost 2/3.

What about COMPLETE chaos with both Clemson and Washington getting beat? Does Big?10 get 3 teams in or does Colorado get the nod?

Absolutely .

I also disagree with barring a monumental Gator upset that AuBarn is going to Sugar bowl. Florida is 1 spot behind and if they don't pull upset but are competitive (<14), I would say Gators better conference rep than AuBarn especially if Sean White is still questionable.

Seems weird that neither of the 2 highest ranked Big Ten teams are even playing for a conference title ..

 

[jdpas29]

I think Wisconsin might be a better team at this point than any of the other big 10 trams

Not really. All three are in the same division and they had round robin losses. If Michigan had not lost to Iowa I am not sure how they would have done it.

I think she's hitting more on the narrative that Michigan and Ohio State haven't fallen out of the Top 5, even with Michigan having two losses. It simply has a feeling the committee is favoring them and wants them in the Playoff. Clemson hasn't moved either. They have the Playoff already figured in their heads. They want Meyer and Saban facing off or Watson and our defense.

The question is, how in the hell are Auburn and Tennessee still ranked?

Not sure if they watch football or saw the scores, I mean WTF?

2 of the Barns 4 losses have come against unranked teams! The Viles are another head scratcher as well with their losses.
I still don't understand why we just didn't use the BCS formula to pick the top 4 teams instead of selecting a group of 12-13 people that obviously don't know jack shit about football.

I thinking the same think, I see no different what going on with the BCS. Then what is happen to the playoff system.

Big Ten would never get 3 Colorado would get in.

You explained it way better than me!

Everyone in the sports world seems to want 3 football teams with the best shot at Bama. Not necessarily the 3 most deserving or even conference champs. Still trying to tiger proof the masters. Once this precedence is made by the selection committee and it will, Bama will not be hindered in the future by such trivial stuff as did you win that 13th game. Bama doesn't care who they play as much as they just want in and after Saturday the future possibilities are endless. Isn't it right about here that the BCS went belly up?

You by chance get my private message about the Barrett Jones jersey?

But it's based on ranking, not quality of record or team. Highest ranked team goes - by contract.

Agreed.

I'm aware of that fact. I'm just saying that committee could move Florida and of Barn even with Gator loss to Bama.

They (ESPN) were talking about this the other night. Florida (#15) and Auburn (#14) are bunched together and when Florida loses, it's not likely they will move up. LSU (#21) and Tennessee (#22) won't move up enough to get the bid.

 

[UAgrad93]

Really think LSwho got hosed as far as these rankings go. Their losses are to 1, 6, 14, and 15.
Barn has 1 and unranked.

Would have gone to their #5 tie-breaker and tOSU would have been the rep by virtue of PSU's loss to Pitt (reduced to two-team tie-breaker and tOSU wins HTH). If PSU also had not lost to Pitt and all three were tied at 11-1 (8-1) it would have gone to their #6 tie-breaker. :eyeroll:

5. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative.
6. The representative will be chosen by random draw. :eyeroll:
