[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129411313, member: 1428007"] There are two undefeated BIG 12 teams. Oklahoma State beat the AP and coaches top 2 or 3 team. What rationale does the committee have to claim OSU is less deserving of a high ranking than three one loss teams--as though those losses were an accomplishment? OSU is undefeated and so is Baylor. Stats wise these teams have been very good--particularly Baylor on the offensive side of the ball. The committee stated conference championships is a major criteria--but have Notre Dame who CANNOT win a conference championship ahead of the BIG 12 top teams. Clemson is playing in the easiest conference in the country--yet based on some overhyped games in that conference is sitting at number one while BIG 12 teams with four teams in the top 15 aren't in the top 5? Ohio State has played no one and beaten no one. A PSU team that lost to Temple is supposedly their best win. But somehow they are top 4? Based on what--the committee told us--based on what they might do in the future. Why then is Baylor not rated in the top 4 based on what they might do in the future? Rankings from the past aren't supposed to matter according to this committee--but somehow, someway because the Buckeyes did well last year in a BIG 12 less playoff, they are deserving this year? The committee has gone out of their way to make excuses to boost other leagues up --i.e. "Stanford had to play a game at a time they aren't used to" boo hoo----while claiming a school like OSU which has the best win in the country doesn't deserve a higher ranking because its just one win. Tell me-what win does Iowa have that would cause anyone to rank them ahead of Baylor or Oklahoma or Oklahoma State? No one is talking about bias that doesn't exist--the committee has alterred there own criteria each step of the way to diminish the BIG 12s top teams and bump up others. [/QUOTE]
