They have wins over #13 VT (on the road) and #14 Auburn. We have no quality wins at all.Seriously, WTF??
And a loss to Syracuse. Think about that...Syra-freakin-cuse!!!They have wins over #13 VT (on the road) and #14 Auburn. We have no quality wins at all.
They will give you an upset loss if you balance that with good wins.And a loss to Syracuse. Think about that...Syra-freakin-cuse!!!
Auburn will end up with 4 losses and VT will have a couple more, so those wins won't look all that great in a few weeks...much like their big win over Louisville. Then add in a lose to Syracuse...not that impressive.They have wins over #13 VT (on the road) and #14 Auburn. We have no quality wins at all.

Lol...I used to work at fort drum. Syracuse had a couple practices on base a couple years ago. A buddy of mine is a Syracuse fan and as we're driving through the gate i mention to him. " I hope the team brought their CAC cards "... He didn't like it...and I'm sure my fellow military will get it.And a loss to Syracuse. Think about that...Syra-freakin-cuse!!!
Or entire LB Depth Charts.Clemson’s QB was hurt so they get a “Get Out Of Jail Card” vote! So the Committee ex-CUSEs them for SyraCUSE.
(Losing OTs and DEs in a game don’t count.....)

Auburn will play Georgia to the final minutes of their game. Solid defensive line capable of stopping the runAuburn will end up with 4 losses and VT will have a couple more, so those wins won't look all that great in a few weeks...much like their big win over Louisville.

Syracuse is not that bad. They only lost to #10 Miami on the road by 8, at #20 NC State by 8, and at #19 LSU by 9. They beat Pitt. They are a program on the rise.And a loss to Syracuse. Think about that...Syra-freakin-cuse!!!
Herbie already beating the eye test drum. Said psu’s resume will hurt them, but then said if Alabama loses to Georgia they should still get in due to the eye test.
The only game I saw them play this year was syracuse. They fail my eye test.Eye test.
Spot on, I heard him say both those things.
The dumbest thing said all night (no surprise) was from Jesse Palmer. If Oklahoma played Ohio State this week they would lose by 2 TD's. So actual games don't count, only hypotheticals 6 weeks later. He's as dumb as Dinich.
I said this yesterday but the committee is putting more weight on who you beat as opposed to who you lost to in this case.And a loss to Syracuse. Think about that...Syra-freakin-cuse!!!
I'd say they are putting weight on the QB injury, and not considering the loss at all because of that injury, which is fine with meI said this yesterday but the committee is putting more weight on who you beat as opposed to who you lost to in this case.
We do have a quality win...Michigan was ranked #17 when we played them, with the top defense in the land. After kicking their ass, all of a sudden, the media narrative is Michigan is no good. We need to hope Michigan can beat Wiscy, and if we really want to dream, OSU. Would likely get them back in Top 15.They have wins over #13 VT (on the road) and #14 Auburn. We have no quality wins at all.
And they lost to Middle Tennessee State.Syracuse is not that bad. They only lost to #10 Miami on the road by 8, at #20 NC State by 8, and at #19 LSU by 9. They beat Pitt. They are a program on the rise.
Yes. In the 2nd game. They are a far better team now, just as we were last year at this time after having lost earlier to Pitt and getting blown out by Michigan.And they lost to Middle Tennessee State.
OU's win vs OSU was also in the 2nd week. The CFP Commitee, apparently, didn't care when it happened.Yes. In the 2nd game. They are a far better team now, just as we were last year at this time after having lost earlier to Pitt and getting blown out by Michigan.
The entire process is pure bullshit. Conference winners and 3 at large, problem solved but too
much $$$$ in the current process.

All I know is we are where I expected us to be and I personally think our ranking is a fair one.OU's win vs OSU was also in the 2nd week. The CFP Commitee, apparently, didn't care when it happened.

I agree. And last year, I was 100% certain that if PSU and OSU met again in Nov/Dec, that PSU would have won. PSU was on fire, and OSU was limping. That is why PSU fans were pissed last yearAs an OSU fan I,think if OSU and Oklahoma played each other this Saturday I think OSU would win. But you can’t change history. There are still games to play to get a more complete data set for evaluation.
So be it. Every other league in America has champions who got hot at the right time. Still better than the current speculative voting BS.Of course, there would be no debate about choosing those three at large teams.
And such a setup means that you'd definitely have 2 and even some 3 loss teams making the playoff. Nothing says "deserving of a national championship in college football" than a team that goes 9-3.
Remember last year when we actually won the conference and got shut out of the playoff? Total bullshit. You win your conference you deserve to be in the playoff. So what if a 2 or 3 loss team is national champ? If they actually win it on the field they deserve it vs some jackhole’s oponion.Of course, there would be no debate about choosing those three at large teams.

Herbie is right. Even if we win out our top win would be ranked in the 15-NR area.
Georgia would beaten ND and Auburn. Two top ten teams.
The Michigan lost to MSU hurt us.
If ND wins out, they deserve 3, if they don't, they won't be in top 3I'm more shocked ND is #3, who the hell have they played? On top of that, the CFP committee not choosing O$U in the top #4 is surprising.
OSU would beat OU by at least 2 TD's if they played this weekend, even if game was in Norman.As an OSU fan I,think if OSU and Oklahoma played each other this Saturday I think OSU would win. But you can’t change history. There are still games to play to get a more complete data set for evaluation.
