chance of winning the whole thing.

For me, that is one thing that the NFL will always have over college football.

I hate the CFP already and we haven’t even had a playoff yet. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who doesn’t have an equal shot?

Army?

Let’s see what happens if they win @ND on Saturday.

A loss against a top 10 team should bolster their resume. It does others.

MarylandFan

Nov 20, 10:06pm

For example…

garyfan

Nov 20, 10:07pm

Penn State? Texas?

MarylandFan

Nov 20, 10:30pm

A loss to ND hasn’t bolstered their resume, but they aren’t penalized as much

"Army does have more to prove"

Out of 134 teams, their SOS is 121.

You ask for examples of imbalance. I provide. You proceed to dismiss.

MarylandFan

Nov 20, 11:25pm

No. I asked for examples of teams who bolstered their resume with an L.

Ah, so it's a mathematical equation algorithm based ranking system?

Army is in playoff contention if they win their conference

RealTaysomHill

Nov 20, 10:26pm

Only the top 5 conference champions get in. They'd likely be left out.

Anyone not in the SEC or B1G

Borg

Really? We’re in playoff contention on November 20. How do we not have the same shot as SEC teams?

RealTaysomHill

Nov 20, 10:25pm

If you’re in the top half of the SEC you have a shot of getting in. In the Big12

Yucatan

So now the B12 is as strong as the SEC?

The Big12 is better than the B1G according to many computer models all 3 Sagarin

NYC and Japan

Nov 21, 7:45am

Which B1G team should be left out?

RealTaysomHill

Nov 21, 7:50am

Because computer ratings of a conference take into account the entire conference

garyfan

Nov 21, 8:00am

So what makes a 1 or loss B1G team so much more deserving than a 1 loss BigXII.

tkh9

Nov 21, 8:07am

Because the one loss Big 12 team lost to 4-6 Kansas and the one loss B1G teams lost to 11-0 Oregon and 10-1 Ohio State

RealTaysomHill

Nov 21, 8:24am

So your argument is that if Oregon had lost to Wisconsin last week they would

tkh9

Nov 21, 8:39am

Can you show me a Big 12 or ACC team that was left out that should have been in? Go back and look at the CFB Rankings

RealTaysomHill

Nov 20, 11:55pm

It’s not as much about which teams “should” be in. We’re talking about rankings

Yucatan

Nov 21, 8:00am

5th place in the SEC will make it in most years. 2nd place in the big 12 won’t. that’s not equal.

FieroCoug

Nov 20, 10:32pm

That just simply isn’t true. The SEC has never had five ranked in the top 12 playoff rankings. And the Big 12 has always

RealTaysomHill

Nov 20, 11:12pm

We have a shot, but it’s not equal. If it was equal, BYU would be ranked higher

Crowd Factor

Nov 20, 10:33pm

It absolutely is equal access. You’re just looking at it too narrowly. Heres what you’re missing: program momentum

Sorry, but you’ve drank their cool aid. There are so many flaws and bias’ in

Crowd Factor

No, I haven’t. Every team has the chance to get in with a special season. Indiana is #5 in the country right now

RealTaysomHill

Actually, this season proves not everyone has access. 2 G5 teams undefeated or

NYC and Japan

Nov 21, 7:53am

This season can’t prove anything yet. We can talk at the end of the year to see. If 80% definitively proved anything,

1. Your argument is based on criteria the committee claims to ignore.

tkh9

Nov 21, 8:17am

1. It is objectively impossible to totally ignore past seasons. To do so, you would have to pretend that every team is

RealTaysomHill

Nov 21, 9:20am

What I got out of this is it’s obviously not equal, but also it’s equal.

tkh9

Nov 21, 9:35am

Teams and resources are not equal, opportunity is.

Some animals are more equal than others.

If we can climb back to 10 before the CCG, we have a decent shot at an at large.

Holmoe needs to schedule better OOC games. Stanford and Cal won't cut it.

There’s a fair argument to be had here.
