All I know is 18 is ridiculous. I hope SMU destroys Clemson. Not as upset about being left out as I am about the rank

Yah BYzu with a top5 victory on the road

Same. I knew we wouldn’t be in, but 15 or so feels much better than 18

How are the committee members selected?

Maybe those conferences just actually are better

Per Sagarin, the Big 12 is #2 for team average

Colorado

Dec 3, 8:17pm

And if you just took the top 12 individual sagarin leaders, the SEC adds a team

We’ve heard that for years. A pac12 team just finished 1st in the BIG10. A Big12

So maybe getting into those conferences helped.

Your conclusion is correct, but the first line is a zinger. It’s year one.

Dec 3, 8:46pm

The last 20 pageant winners you mean? I put very little stock in a system that leaves out undefeated teams. Maybe with

Colorado

It will improve the system simply because a team like BYU probably deserves to

Dec 3, 8:49pm

So you want to incentivize teams playing nobody good?

PHXSUNS31

They already do this with OOC games. We have no idea what the SEC is this year. We know their best team was good last

Colorado

Dec 3, 9:28pm

They had by far the best OOC record against other P4 teams

PHXSUNS31

Dec 3, 9:35pm

How many of those games required them to play on road or leave their time zone?

Colorado

Dec 3, 9:41pm

10 home, 7 road, 2 neutral

Of the 64 OOC games the 16 SEC teams played

Dec 3, 10:17pm

Thank you! If we don't want to do a loss limit at least require OOC travel

The SEC knows this is required as has admitted as much

Why is the SEC 66-45 in bowl games in the CFP era then?

PHXSUNS31

Dec 3, 9:42pm

What is their record against each conference? How many of those bowls are in the SEC area?

Colorado

Dec 3, 9:49pm

I’ll let you figure that out if you actually want to know

PHXSUNS31

Dec 3, 9:52pm

I’m not saying the SEC isn’t the best conference

Dec 3, 10:21pm

43-33 in bowl games from 95-05…they’ve been great for a long time

PHXSUNS31

Dec 3, 10:32pm

Meh. Bowl games aren’t a great metric especially in the late 90s and early 00s

Dec 3, 11:41pm

No one has legitimately answered my question as to why ADs, coaches and players
