If their Top 5 are playing and beating worse teams, on average, than B12 teams,

what other explanation could be used than poll inertia to explain their higher ranking?

So let me get this straight, despite the BIG12 being a stronger conference this year than the BIG10, the BIG10 gets 4

I don't agree with it but the chart you are posting

Their top 5 are only "better" due to poll intertia.

So did they use a different criteria for top 5 analysis than they did for whole

There is no proof that they are better. Just opinion.

And Ohio State lost to Michigan.

The expansion of the playoff was simply to bring more money to the SEC and B1G. If it was fair they would have vetoed it

Oregon is undefeated; Penn St and Indiana have one loss

Here's an entire thread that goes into deep detail on why everything you said, other than brand bias, is wrong.

His thread doesn't do a good job w/Indiana, an 11-1 team with no brand bias

Indiana has a terrible schedule and they lost to the only good team they played.

Which Big XII losses are better than IU dropping a game at Ohio State?

reddead

11:03am

Which Indiana wins are better than the BIG12s top wins? Their schedule is on par with a MWC schedule.

So treat them like Boise and put them in... 11-1 in a P4 conference

reddead

Only 1 loss, so you can't argue too much about keeping them out.

Name the impressive wins of a Big XII team that will be kept out. Go ahead

BYU over SMU

JuicyJam

And BYU has a loss that is much, much worse than anyone else in the field

reddead

10:22am

Like I said, only one loss so you can't argue too much about keeping them out.

NIU is worse than Kansas? Really? How so?

Now do BYU and Ohio State 🙂

reddead

11:47am

Why? I think Ohio State is better than BYU

Notre Dames loss to NIU is way worse. And they're ranked #4.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

10:54am

How so? NIU is going bowling (7-5), Kansas is not (5-7)

reddead

Lololol, NIU lost to Ball State, Miami of Ohio, Buffalo, NC State, and Toledo. While Kansas lost to some of the top

How do BYU or Colorado (or ISU/ASU) compare to Ohio State?

reddead

11:47am

The claim the Big 10 is rated lower

Indiana played FIU, WIU and Charlotte.
