College Football Playoff Rankings

[Macarthur]

Agreed, but I didn't think the committee had the nads to put any 1 loss teams ahead of FSU, much less 3.

I like the way they've been doing their rankings

Yeah, you're right there.

It's going to be interesting. There's going to be some very deserving teams not get in.

And that continues to bring up the need for a legitimate playoff.

Crock of Crap that Baylor is below TCU. Head to head should always be the trump card.... and I hate Baylor.

I disagree. I think there are times when it should, but you can't let an entire season be dictated by one game.

Let's say for example, Baylor beat TCU and they ended the season with one loss. TCU lost to a top 10 Baylor team on the road by a point or two. Baylor lost to the absolute worst team in college football at home. Would those two losses be equal? Of course they wouldn't.

Now, if we let this all play out and Baylor and TCU both win out, Baylor most likely will overtake them due to having stronger opponents to finish the season. TCU is going to have a hard time hanging on with their remaining scedule.

If you look at the two teams season, TCU is the better team. They just are. At this point, TCU's wins are more impressive, and even more importantly, TCUs loss is much more impressive than Baylor's loss.

And you have to admit, Baylor has a rep for scheduling very poor OOC games. That rep is catching up with them here. The committee is basically scolding them for that.

[Rabid Cougar]

totally agree. However, the chairman of the Committee made the comment that TCU/Baylor are vitually indistinguishable. If that is the case Head to Head.

That's exactly what should happen. Schedule of strength should weigh heavily into the committee's ranking.

If that's true, then yes, the head to head is very important.

However, I find it hard to reconcile his comment with the fact that they are 3 spots diff in the ranking. That doesn't strike me as 'indistinguishable'.

Yes, it should. And I'm not dismissing the head to head. It's certainly part of the equation, but it's not the be all end all as some have mentioned.

That's not what I heard... In fact when point blank asked about uit, he went into detail about baylor's poor schedule and TCU having a much more impressive resume. He did use the word indistinguishable at one point but I took that to mean talent, style, scheme wise, etc., not indistinguishable performance wise.

If Texas beats OSU tomorrow night , good chance Texas puts an end to TCU playoff hopes on Turkey day.

Just saying if Texas wins three straight and then the TCU game becomes more interesting , a loss tonight and then it not looking good for an upset. A couple early wins had you aggys feeling good also and look what happened, college football now days anything can happen.
