CFP v DEC3

In order to preserve OOC, I think they are going to have to mix things up. Think about how ATM and Clemson were behind the 8 ball all season long because of OOC losses early. I said this a bunch of times here - if Clemson had played GaSouthern instead of UGA to start the season, they would have been ranked about 5th before the USCjr game. Two of their 3 losses were OOC. Why would they continue to schedule tough OOC?

So, I think what will happen is that everyone will agree to go to 14 games in 2 years. There will be AQs for each conference - 3 for SEC and B1G, 2 for the ACC and B12, 1 for the G5. That leaves 3 at-large. Then each conference can determine their champion and representatives. Then Clemson and SMU would be lined up for the 2 AQs for the ACC, ASU and ISU for the B12, Texas, UGA, and UTjr for the SEC, and UO, tOSU, and PSU for the B1G. ND would get an at large, Bama would get an at-large, and then the 3rd would to Miami based on the standings this year.

The point is that if the conferences determine their representatives based on the conference schedules, you wouldn't be hurt playing OOC.

If they don't go that route, they have to do an RPI/Quad win-based evaluation where schedule matters. Face it, the conferences are different and the level of play is different. That simply has to be taken into account. In some cases, some teams played much tougher schedules, while others had very easy schedules. That has to be considered.

We'll see what happens in the future, but this year very few teams have a gripe, and we can make a reasoned argument why they were left out:

- USCjr - you can't lose 3 games, and 2 of those can't be to teams ahead of you.
- Miami - you have to play a better schedule. That will be the conferences making that happen.
- Ole Miss - don't lose to 2 crappy teams, and 1 mid team (even though UF was pretty good at that point in the season)

So it's ok for Bama to lose 3 games, with 2 being to crappy teams?

Boise beat #20 UNLV on the road

True. My bad. And that’s a better win than the others...at least according the current rankings. The top 25 wins among that group were the three to Illinois (Penn State) Army (Notre Dame) and UNLV (Boise). Texas and Indiana don't have wins over any on the current top 25 list.
 
I can see this happening every season as long as these 9-10 win teams have a loss here or there against 5-7, 6-6 record teams. Whoever will dispute which team should take that 11th or 12th spot. Win/loss records, SOS, which team has the worst loss(es).

Lol yea this is where the argument lands with the 12 teamer, which mediocre team deserves that last spot or 2 depending on the year.

I don't care for it, but the committee clearly thinks differently.

They still have a decent chance of being jumped next Tuesday, after the CCGs, so wait out.

They gotta field 12 teams somehow. There's definitely not 12 teams i'd call deserving this year.

This may be the snarky side of me speaking, but money may be a main driver.
Which teams will bring in more spectators and higher TV ratings?

That's definitely what it is, they can swear up and down that things like that don't influence their decisions but they absolutely do. Nobody gives a shit about Cryami, Bama brings better TV ratings and draw.

They'd dump Indiana if they could but a bunch of teams crapping themselves made it so they have to keep them.

UNLV’s a damn good team. They have athletes all over the place and are extremely well coached. They’re also playing their best ball right now while we’ve regressed. Sickens me to say this but I think they likely beat us on Friday night.
 
Head of the committee just said the order for Bama Miami TENN SCAR won’t change because there won’t be a new data point to evaluate those teams upon.
What if Texas trounces UGA. THAT makes Bama’s best win look not as impressive. That’s a fucking data point.
This is the HEAD OF THE COMMITTEE!!!

They always say shit, but next week they are liable to feel different and change their minds. They just make it up as they go to fit the narrative that they want. It's a joke.

If Bama had been left out, they would have been on the list. The point is you have to field 12 teams. And if you are on the bubble being left out, there is something you could have done to not be on the bubble. That's the point.

Had we lost to GaTech, I would have had no problem putting my team on that list even with the schedule we played.

I am not sure a tOSU fan is the one who should be crapping on someone else's schedule, and especially their bad losses.

That said, see my post above. You have to have 12. Some sub-par teams are going to get in. The bubble teams all could have done something to keep from being on the bubble, so no tears from me.

Ohio State has 1 bad loss

Bama has 2 bad losses, and one of them was by 3 TDs to a 6-6 team. These things are not the same.

Nice to see you be team SEC SEC SEC still though!

I don't think you read or understood my post if you think I was going all SEC (although I am an admitted SEC honk ... I've never denied that).

Nowhere in my post was I comparing Bama to tOSU. You are seeded 6th, they are 11th for the very reason you point out in your post. Congrats.

Now, if we can get back to my post, the point was that bubble teams all have a reason they were a bubble team, so they get no sympathy. It just so happens that Bama was the tallest of the bubble midgets and may get in. It's not really a hard concept to understand.
