CFB Playoff Rankings

The committee seems to have new reasoning each and every week for their rankings, so it's impossible to even begin to understand what they're really basing it all off of.

At least the Top 4 are correct at the moment and that's all that matters, I guess.

 

Chatter from whom?

 

I hope TCU is 4 next week just to see y'all cry about it some more. It's really getting me off.

I've seen it elsewhere too

 

You have to see that they are setting up for the final 4 to be Bama,Oregon,FSU, and Ohio State and its a joke. Ohio State has no business being in the top 4 and its all because they are a big name school. The Big 12 is going to get screwed.

 

I said a long, long time ago it looked like the Big 12 wouldn't be getting anyone in. But that had a lot to do with ND. I cant see tOSU moving above 1-loss MSST if they handle Ole Miss. Baylor I could see... no way Baylor finishes behind a 1-loss TCU team. That will play out. I just don't think that alone means they'll get a seed.

 

People are still worrying way too early. Last year, Auburn was #4 at this point, behind 3 undefeated teams. Michigan State was #11 in the polls, and finished the regular season #4. There's still a lot of potential movement with 2 weeks to go.

 

Some people are predisposed toward conspiratorial paranoia.

 

Yep there's a lot of football left to be played.

Bama v Auburn
Bama v GA potentially
Miss State @ Ole Miss
FL @ FSU
Oregon v Az St or UCLA
Ohio State v Wisconsin (hopefully)
TCU @ TX
K St @ Baylor

 

It's just that the current upper seeded teams will be favored here on out... thus the premature outcry.

 

Predictions?

1) Alabama
2) Oregon
3) Florida St
4) TCU
5) Ohio St.
6) Arizona
7) Michigan St
6) Kansas St

I think Baylor had a risk of dropping but the 2 teams behind them lost. I think Ohio St and Baylor jump TCU next week if they win. It's no question that Ohio St ends up in the final 4 if they beat Wisconsin. That's a tough matchup. I think Baylor has a real real danger of losing next week since Petty might be out but Ohio St has the same issue.

I hope Baylor wins and I'm proven right that Baylor's embarrassing strategy of scheduling the worst teams in football costs them the playoffs. Maybe that will teach them. I think it's likely the big 12 implements the same rule that the SEC has about scheduling teams from the top 5 in the non conf which is something at least.

The only thing to be sure about is that there will be more controversy. Who knows how the BCS would have worked out this year. The computers are VERY high on TCU but it's likely the harris poll and coaches poll would put Florida St and Alabama in the championship game which I think most people would think is the right thing to do.

 

some seem to believe that even is ohio st beats wisconsin committee may still keep em out since they're now on their 3rd string QB. that'd be an incredibly ****ty thing to do imo...but its out there.

 

I think TCU stays ahead of Baylor. Baylor barely beating a team that UT trounced doesn't bode well for them, given how badly TCU beat Texas. The transitive property is most useful in college football.

 

I think transitive property is entirely unnecessary for teams that actually played one another. It minimizes scoreboard victories...which is the point of the game.

 

Picking the loser of two teams with equal records would be beyond dumb. Like seriously...that just lacks logic...

It's not like TCU has just looked worlds better or anything. I mean a few games they've looked better and a few games they've looked worse. Didn't they just almost lose to Kansas? Please...the system is a joke if TCU goes over Baylor if both win out.

 

The sec also plays more division 1AA teams than any other other conference. The sec out of conference schedule is a joke. They have no business for playing teams like Tennessee-Martin, Georgia Southern, Samford, Florida s&j, Sam Houston, northeastern. The list goes on and on. The sec is overhyped.

 

Not dumb. The committee is tasked with picking the best 4 teams. If the H2H is supposed to be the end all be all then they would come out and say it. It's not a definitive rule. That game as in Waco and Baylor barely won. That result does not prove that Baylor is better than TCU.

 

I'm a UT alumnus, I learned how stupid it can be in 2009.

 

Let's not forget the phantom PI call at the end that allowed Baylor to kick a field goal vs going to overtime!
