Yeah tell me again why Alabama is #2? They've beaten no one and have one of the worst losses in CFB this year.Ironman92;1766388 wrote:It's moo anyways. Mich St should be #2 with 3 wins over top 16 teams
No idea....should be behind Oklahoma as OK also has slightly better wins.sleeper;1766391 wrote:Yeah tell me again why Alabama is #2? They've beaten no one and have one of the worst losses in CFB this year.
If UNC wins ACC, their schedule would be weakerIggyPride00;1766400 wrote:It will be a travesty and full blown miscarriage of justice if the Buckeyes get in the playoff at this point.
Even if Clemson loses they have 2 top 10 wins. If NC wins, they will have a top 10 win.
The Buckeyes best win is a top 19 team. It is just not good enough, and if they have a problem with being left out try scheduling someone.
They would have the better win between the two teams, as well as having the distinction of having beat the best team on their schedule while the Buckeyes lost to the best team on theirs.slingshot4ever;1766408 wrote:If UNC wins ACC, their schedule would be weaker
with 2 FCS opponents...those games are not included by the committee...so you could argue their final record is only 10-1 with a loss to an unranked SC teamIggyPride00;1766414 wrote:They would have the better win between the two teams, as well as having the distinction of having beat the best team on their schedule while the Buckeyes lost to the best team on theirs.
Seems rather cut and dry.

stanford could potentially jump OSU by winning Pac 12...I just don't see it happeningDr Winston O'Boogie;1766413 wrote:Let me ask ... in order for OSU to get in to the playoff, Alabama needs to lose to Florida and Clemson to UNC, correct?
If we want 3rd then maybeslingshot4ever;1766422 wrote:ESPN thinks we need all three of those upsets to happen (Florida, UNC, USC)
If the committee is more interested in who did you beat than who did you lose to the Buckeyes are screwed.slingshot4ever;1766417 wrote:with 2 FCS opponents...those games are not included by the committee...so you could argue their final record is only 10-1 with a loss to an unranked SC team
How is OSU stronger than MSU? To me that negates the entire argumentAzubuike24;1766432 wrote:Is Ole Miss a worse loss than Texas?
Also, Alabama's SOS is #5 according to Sagarin, while Oklahoma's is #20. They are 6-1 vs the top 30, while Oklahoma is 5-0 (Texas is #61).
...and Sagarin isn't based on polls or pre-season rankings or any of that, so there's no bias.
In fact, Alabama is by far the strong 1-loss team. Followed by Oklahoma, Ohio State and then Michigan State. North Carolina...well they are WAY down...and even with a dominating win over Clemson, I just don't see how they get considered.
That is pivotal to their resumes though.Azubuike24;1766439 wrote:I'm just talking about how they rank resumes. Obviously it doesn't indicate head to head. Clearly the committee wouldn't see it that way...because there is a head to head match-up to use.
9 wins vs teams with a record of .500 or better and 8 of those have came against teams from P5 schools - 7 vs SEC, and Wisconsinsleeper;1766391 wrote:Yeah tell me again why Alabama is #2? They've beaten no one and have one of the worst losses in CFB this year.
