TAMU behind OM is wild. Both have top 10 road wins. But TAMU has a better strength of record and MUCH better SOS.
Texas has 3 losses and they were fortunate that they beat Vandy. And they almost, and should have, lost to us. Vandy should be ranked higher. Arch is the saving grace and will bring more viewers. Their most solid win, as I remember, was over Texas A&M.Does the committee even look objectively at the schedules and game control?
College Football Playoff - Rankings
Texas has the 4th strongest strength of schedule. And beat Vandy head to head.
Texas has 3 losses, including one to 4-8 Florida. That by itself should outlaw them from the Top 15. Also went to overtime with horrible MSU and Kentucky teams. They have played like tee total shít away from Austin.
BYU isn’t even in right now. They are the first team out. If they lose to TT again, they’re done for good.
College football is all about the small victories. While I technically agree that Vandy is a playoff team, I take pleasure in their suffering bc Pavia and his family are dipshits.
**** is going to get political, Miami and Texas are going to be putting the pressure on to screw someone.
Vandy is actually not currently a playoff team.
Tulane, JMU, Virginia over Vanderbilt is Ludicrous.
As a State fan you should be encouraged by what Tulane, Vandy, Ole Miss, Texas Tech and IU are getting done in this era. There is hope.
Obviously. But them’s the rules. Gotta have a minimum of 3 worthless autobids.
I don’t see how you can flip Miami / ND this week when neither plays, and no opponent for either of them plays. There’s no justification.
Tennessee was ranked 19th last week when Vandy was 14th. Vandy smoked them. Next poll…..Vandy still 14th, Tennessee unranked. Like I said….plot to suppress their ranking. They had Miami behind them at 15th a few weeks ago and leapfrogged them strictly off a win over bad NCST team at home when Vandy didn’t play. They also have a win over 8-4 Mizzou. There’s no way in hell that Mizzou and Tennessee should be ranked below James Madison, or below any ACC team not named Miami or Virginia.
I’m not really sure why they flipped Bama and ND this week after ND had the more impressive performance against a bad team but they did anyway.
I get your point and there’s definitely a lot of flawed logic in the polls In several spots.
You may be on to something there. You know they don’t want Duke. And they don’t want to leave the ACC out.
They also have no bad losses though, whereas both of Miami’s losses are terrible. Miami has two of the three losses for the Top 12 teams against unranked opponents. That’s the entire Top 12….3 total losses to unranked teams.
For me personally, if I’m comparing teams with the same record, I’d rather take the team that has the higher end win or win(s). Because that team has shown at least once that they’re capable of winning a game like that. Even if their losses aren’t as good.
In a world where we had two different 17 point 4th quarter leads against the alleged 13th best team before losing to Texas, and Kentucky also took them to OT, I’m saying that plus the UF loss makes their home win over A&M not mean a damn thing. That’s not one, not two, but three games against some of the worst P4 teams in the country that were either were a loss or should have been a loss.
I thought a 12 team playoff was going to solve all the arguments and the bias of people ranking teams?
I don’t think anyone ever said that. It just makes the arguments themselves less meaningful in the end.I thought a 12 team playoff was going to solve all the arguments and the bias of people ranking teams?
Well they aren't ranked ahead of them. They just get in if they win their championships. Tulane and Virginia anyway.
Doesn't really matter what they want. If Duke wins, they aren't the in the top 4 best ranked conference champs, so they get left out. Tulane, North Texas or JMU would be in.
