I agree. I have never had an 11-2 season feel so unsatisfying. Even Sitake felt

That’s your fault and how you choose to respond the events that happened this year. I’m sorry you choose to be a downer

It wasn’t good when the season was on the line and they showed up unprepared.

Yep. People who say preseason ranks don’t matter are fooling no one. It carries over all season

There shouldn’t be a hint of a ranking until week 5 or 6 IMO.

The problem is the play in games vary based upon your conf.

It’s really crazy how many people don’t understand your point. Somehow some feeling entitled for going 9-0

There's no division winners

The problem isn't the committee....ranking algorithms also didn't love us
