CFB Playoff Discussion

If the committee has any integrity at all, they will leave the standings as is. Nothing was done today to change what they had last week.

How do you move a team down for winning 55-3? You can't.

 

[CyFan61]

The 538 model (ESPN's Nate Silver statistics venture)'s odds are:

100% = Alabama
100% = Oregon
91% = TCU
68% = Florida State
40% = Ohio State
1% = Baylor

Interesting, right? TCU's odds are well above Florida State's.

I would love to see the committee show the balls to go with Bama, Oregon, TCU, and Ohio State.

They're not identical. Even "similar" is a stretch. When you reduce this down to a kindergarten level, like you did with "Head. To. Head." you necessarily ignore every other factor. When you consider it, there's an argument that TCU is more deserving. A winning argument IMO.

It's hilarious you mention kindergarten level when head to head decides pretty much any tie in all of sports. Teams are clearly tied. Period. Baylor beat TCU.

It's also funny you are reaching to make TCUs body of work so much better than Baylor over a non-conference game.

There is no no kindergarten level here other than the silly arguments you are trying to make. That little Indiana, WVU and VaTech rant you did was cute tho.

I love that the teams made it hard on the committee. That was all I was asking for and they sure came through.

B-b-but HEAD. TO. HEAD. Indiana beat Mizzou. Indiana SEC East champion t-shirts now available. Hed 2 hed.

This I woild agree fully with. I think it's crap Baylor is behind TCU. But, penalizing teams for beating/dominating teams in front of them is also silly.

I really hope the committee moves to this approach in the future; don't release any rankings at all until "Selection Sunday." Don't give ESPN and the rest of the media a chance to run a hype machine for the big boys like Ohio State. I mean, they still would do so, but it wouldn't be quite as much of a full court press if they didn't see OSU behind little old TCU in the rankings.

Exactly. They would *****, but it would only be for a day or two, similar to bball.

Also, does anybody know if the committee is going to have a spokesperson justifying their rankings after they come out tomorrow? I have a feeling, whoever it is, will basically be an NCAA puppet, but could be interesting.

I would expect a top 4 team to beat g state by more than 2. On the other hand tcu did exactly what a top team would do.

1. Georgia Tech, not Georgia St.

2. Beating the #11 team in the nation by any score is a better resume builder than a top team blowing out one of the worst teams in the nation.

I'm laughing at your childish and incoherent rant. Quite comical. It is what people like you resort to when the facts are not on their side.

And yet you claimed I was on the kindergarten level with my points. Ha. I thought I was on your ignore list - that you had it repeatedly post about.

ESPN is ending their relationship with 538 on Monday (tomorrow is not a business day).

Common sense. Not so common for you tho.

Last word all yours. I know you ​need it.

 

[IAStubborn]

also, having barry alverez from Wisc on the committee doesn't help the big 12. "well OSY needs to be in because look at the beat down they gave us and we are awesome. so they must be awesomer."

And then Osborne says ands wisky laid Dow a major beat down on us and we are awesome so Ohio state must be reall really awesome.

Resume builder? What did fsu do to change a committee members rankings from last week? NOTHING. There is a reason nate silver has tcu at 91%.

Doesn't take much when Herbie is clearly being biased.

Sorry vegas would easily have tcu over baylor if they played today.

 

[CyFan61]

Nate Silver also says that the 538 model would favor Ohio State to jump in over TCU if TCU had been ranked #4 last week instead of #3. More interesting now.

Does Vegas decide the games? Vegas had Wisconsin as a favorite today too.
