results matter. Record is a big part of that, but not everything. BYU has simply not been strong in November. Tonight was close, they lost the 2 previous, and a miracle pulled out the Utah win. Those results don't scream "were a top 12 team" in any way.

Because results matter - and not just record - a 3 loss S Carolina or Georgia has earned their way in over BYU.

They absolutely deserve it more than Miami, if Miami is still considered.

Miami was ranked #19 in the preseason, and then they were ranked #6 this week with one loss to a team that went the

Clemson got boat raced by Georgia who just had all they could handle with GT

And GT was Miami's one loss before today. Maybe GT is actually pretty good.

Yup, Colorado dropped 50+ this week. Kalani needs to RUTS (if we even can), Houston was dead LAST out of 130+ D1 teams

That's the problem. We can't. No one is scared of this offense.

I agree with almost your whole post. To the Indiana point, they also had a chance to get a statement last win today

I’m sure those coaches would also rather play Ga Tech, Mich, Syracuse, OU

I just know that the team that was 9-0 isn't the team that went 10-2. The committee sees this too.
