.

230 total yards between the two games. 11 first downs and 7 turnovers.

They are an absolute fraud.

Only two ranked teams they play all year and are completely exposed.

Can you be a fraud though if nobody thinks you are good to begin with? I think everyone in the country has caught onto the Big 10 west scam by now and they've surely heard jokes about Brian Ferenrz and their offense.

FSU deserves to get in. I don't give a **** who's hurt.

 

[clonedude]

Not worth my time or energy to mess around with Hawk lovers like NoCreativity.

Alabama's loss is better than Texas' loss. Change my mind.

Alabama loss was to Texas.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Alabama's loss is better than Texas' loss. Change my mind.

It takes some monumental levels of nonsense to think "having a better loss" trumps head-to-head.

There's a reason the first tiebreaker in any ranking system is head-to-head.

Normally those aren't available in college football between conferences outside of repeated rivalry games (e.g., Iowa versus Iowa State, Florida State versus Florida, USC and Clemson, etc.).

But Alabama and Texas serendipitously is available this season!

Texas > Alabama

It would be appropriate for the Committee to give the ACC or Big 12 one last screw job on its way out, though. That would be very on brand for them after all these years of SEC/Big Ten favoritism.

 

[NoCreativity]

It’s gotta be
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Florida State

The regular season has to mean something

I hope so, but I can't see them leaving the SEC out, too much money involved and it would look bad for the spot when they are supposedly the super conference.

 

[ExCyment]

Give me Washington, FSU, Michigan, and Bama/Georgia. I get that Texas beat Bama, but Bama just beat the #1 team in the country while Texas beat a 9-3 Okie State team.

Easy thing to do is just do Bama, fsu, Mich, wash. And just say Texas was 7th so the head to head never came into play. They just going to ignore Texas has the best sos in the country.

Bama was 8th.

4 power conferences

Divisional playoffs
4 from each conference make the playoffs.

Then you get a conference champion from on the field play.

16 teams it only eliminates 1 week or adds 1 week.

Thought box process here
Because leaving out some of these teams is egregious.

 

[Cmonwhatarewedoinghereman]

Dont tell me to calm down. You're the one spamming this thread after every play about how bad Iowas offense is. In case you haven't figured it out yet, their offense sucks badly and has for a couple years now. This is nothing new.

You could go to a more pro-Iowa place ya know.

Have you met Hawk fans?

Agreed. The ACC was agreed upon as a Power 5 conference. A Power 5 team that goes undefeated and wins their conference deserves to be in regardless of injuries.

1) Michigan
2) Washington
3) Texas
4) Florida State

Though I would say you can flip 3/4.

I agree this is probably what is deserved but my God.....the SEC being left out?

You could also flip 1/2

 

[NoCreativity]

I know an undefeated should be in the top 4 but if FSU is in they are going to get humiliated by who they face in the semi's.

Not necessarily, if they draw Michigan I think their D can shut them down and at least make it a competitive game. Was not impressed at all today by Michigan's offense.

Agreed. Conventional wisdom makes me think most people would like to see Mich vs TX as a final.

I'm less concerned with "seeding" considering it's all neutral-site games.

Not like it's a long tournament either. Two games and you're the champion.

That the right four get in is the important thing.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

So like most Semifinals in the four-team format?

I think there are a group of 4 that could be selected to where the semi's could be just as good as the final.

 

[DSMCy]

My conspiracy theory is both Alabama and Georgia get in

Georgia falls to 4
Alabama gets in with “best win” at number 3

 

[ISUTex]

What it should be

Washington
Michigan
Texas
Florida State


What it will be

Michigan
Washington
Alabama
Georgia
