Perhaps. But it's unreal that this "committee" was allowed to take a public process private. Where's the outrage from non-trad powers? It's a complete joke they don't release their weekly scoring methodology let alone the CRITERIA before the season so you know the rules going in

Does the Selection Committee for the NCAA BB tournament do this? I dont think they do.

Cardale is ball sack man, we could potentially lose with him at QB. If JT was starting, I would say no way, with Cardale back there, who knows. We barley beat Northern Illinois with Cardale, yet we beat Wisconsin, Bama and Oregon back to back to back with him last year (mind boggling).

The butt hurt is strong with you lol. You guys haven't played anybody, neither have we, I wouldn't have cared where they put us in the top 10, because frankly it doesn't matter at this juncture in the season. If you win out you will be in. Who honestly cares at this point, there is way too much football left to get butt hurt yet. There will be many teams in the top ten that may lose multiple times before the end of the season, who freaking knows. Grab some popcorn, watch the games, and let the chips fall where they may. I hear some people crying bloody murder over Memphis not being in the top 5. If they win out, they would have a reason to be pissed, but its not the end of the season yet. A lot of things have yet to shake out. All TCU has to do is win out and they will be in.

I don't think Clemson is a great team.

They only wish they could face an Al Golden-coached team every week.

If you weren't a fan of a favored big brand team, your tune would be much different.

Win and you're in.

Possibly. The committee has made it clear that they don't want smaller schools in the play off.

Heh...I love conspiracy theories as much as the next guy, but damn, that's just weak. I think most agree 4 is too few, but it's a damn sight better than what we had to endure with the BCS, I mean especially considering what happened last year.

As long as Alabama continues to fail in the playoff era, I'm certainly good...be it TCU or Ohio State or even Clemson...

Of course it's public. They use the RPI and it nearly always goes in an "s-curve". They make it known SoS is the deciding factor between 2 similar RPI and the bracket itself has rules for conf matchups (none before Elite 8). Brackets are easy to predict.


Oh, and there's that whole thing about it being settled on court, thereby rendering seeding/geography unimportant

It's not a conspiracy theory. The committee has constantly shifted what they're looking at and have no problem using different qualifications each week as long as it gets them their desired result.

Good to know...as soon as the CFP gets to 64 teams we should be good then...

Exactly. Until then, only a fan of a mega power (or a fool) would follow this sport.
