StLunatic88 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 We all already knew it, but the Committee once again confirmed that they are frauds and cowards. Bama at #2? Not a chance, they haven’t beaten anyone. We can have other qualms, but when it’s a sham at #2 the rest aren’t even worth discussing. But one week later and we have knocked down the Number of teams with Playoff hopes still alive from 14 down to 11. (Could be 10, but there is a wild scenario out there) and while we know that the Committee will just throw the same crap against the wall as last week, any ranking with integrity should be taking a long hard look at their lineup, especially as the phrase “Eye test” keeps getting thrown around. No one outside of Georgia should be referred to any higher than “good”. No impressive, no very good, and definitely no one else in the Elite category, Teams that fell out of the Playoff Chase: Auburn Tigers (6-3), Baylor Bears (7-2), Wake Forest Demon Deacons (9-1) SEC - 3 Team Georgia Bulldogs (9-0) @Tennessee, v Charleston Southern, @Gerogia Tech Rolled Mizzou as all assumed they would, and its just hard to see anyone else on the schedule testing them. Fully Expecting them to be the #1 seed in the playoffs at 13-0. Yes these other SEC schools have a chance to push their way in by clipping them in the SEC Title game, but just seems unlikely. Its UGA vs the field right now Alabama Crimson Tide (8-1) vNew Mexico St, vArkansas, @Auburn Yet another disappointing performance, that some will excuse because it’s a “rivalry game” against LSU who is mostly dead in the water. The blatant favoritism is egregious at this point, and that’s coming from a fellow SEC fan. Some still say :these original rankings don’t matter” but if you cant see what they are doing, Ill spell it out for you. They are setting it up so Bama can lose in the SEC title game and still make the playoff. They will keep pushing A&M higher so the loss looks better, and falsely inflating th other SEC West teams to make their ho-hum wins look better. Texas A&M Aggies (7-2) @Ole Miss, vPraire View A&M, @LSU Last week was loser leave town, and because of that Auburn is out of the Playoff picture. But they will still have something to say about the playoffs as they host the Iron Bowl. But for now the Aggies are just along for the ride, hoping that the Tide trips up and they get to slide into the SEC title game, with a chance to have the 2 best wins in the country and lock in a Playoff spot. Going to Oxford isn’t a guarantee, but if they are for real (*and they look it recently) they will take care of that, and finish off their season in Death Valley, then sit and wait. BigTen - 3 Teams Ohio St Buckeyes (8-1) vPurdue, vMichigan St, @Michigan So much for the most dangerous team. Yet another week they held on, and looked utterly beatable. I had hope they were going to burst out these couple of weeks, and put a strangle hold on another playoff spot, but now it looks more and more like the Big Ten might just completely cannibalize itself. They can still pull this out of the fire, but now Purdue is a giant killer, and nothing we saw out of Lincoln this weeks makes you confidant taking on the Michigan schools to end the year Michigan Wolverines (8-1) @Penn St, @Maryland, v Ohio St I mean hey, they did what they were supposed to this week, and will continue to rise as long as they keep winning. I still have them behind State in my rankings because of the head to head, but I might change that if they can beat Penn St this week on the road, as it would be the first decent win either team would have outside of their game. We shall see though. Michigan St Spartans (8-1) vMaryland, @Ohio St, vPenn St They had the world in their hands, but couldn’t handle West Lafayette. The letdown spot everyone saw coming took them down. But they aren’t completely out of it, as they still control their conference destiny, and at the end of the year, wins over Michigan, Ohio St, Penn St and Wisconsin (possibly) would be a nice little resume if we have a complete mishmash of teams fighting for the final playoff spot. But again, they need carnage in front of them at this point Big XII - 2 Teams Oklahoma Sooners (9-0) @Baylor, v Iowa St, @Oklahoma St Is a week off what they needed to reset? We shall see, even though a Baylor win would look solid, is less impressive since their loss to TCU. This is still their toughest run of the season coming up, and feels like were staring down a double matchup with OK State to end the year, and possibly decide who gets that final Playoff spot. Oklahoma St Cowboys (8-1) vTCU, @Texas Tech, vOklahoma One of the few teams outside of Georgia to actually show us something this week, after giving up a long FG driver to start the game they completely shut out WVU. Ill keep saying it, their only loss was on the road, and aided by the officials, so they deserve to be one of the Top one loss teams. If they are able to win out, with that questionable loss as their only blemish and either get 2 wins over OU or possibly avenge their only loss, Id welcome them into what could be a defense dominated College Football Playoff AAC - 1 Team Cincinnati Bearcats (9-0) @South Florida, vSMU, @East Carolina What do you want me to say, they aren’t winning pretty, but again, outside of Georgia, who is? If you want to keep saying “eye test & level of competition” you better take a closer look at the rest of the Playoff rankings. Alabam is struggling with not very good to even bad teams, but because those teams have SEC next to their names we are giving them a pass. Same with Oklahoma, and there could be a case made that the Big12 isnt any better than the AAC. And plenty of you have already dumped all over the Pac12. And while I think the BigTen is a solid conference, they haven’t really dominated any top out of conference competition. The Bearcats deserve to be in this year, and saying anything otherwise is just showing bias. PAC-12 - 1 Team Oregon Ducks (8-1) vWashington St, @Utah, vOregon St They took care of business, they covered the spread, and ran for over 300 yards on Washington. Its not flashy, its not electric like were used to, but they are doing what they are supposed to. And if they win out, they deserve to be in, and yes that is still over Ohio St, whos potential “major wins” are looking worse and worse by the week. Independent - 1 Team Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-1) @Virgina, vGeorgia Tech, @Stanford Im telling you, they are just going to keep chugging along, and if some of these conferences keep taking each other out, they are going to be sitting there, with their only loss being against one of the last undefeated teams, and its going to be hard to justify a 2 loss (or worse) conference champion over them, Especially a 2 loss non-conference champ Not a big week coming up here, Mostly looking to see if Texas A&M, Michigan and Notre Dame can keep pace in order to set up their opportunities for an end run, But the Purdue Giant Killers are taking their shot to ruin the BigTen, and Baylor looks to end OUs perfect season after they stumbled. My Playoff Rankins for this week: 1. Georgia Bulldogs 2. Cincinnati Bearcats 3. Oregon Ducks 4. Ohio St Buckeyes 5. Oklahoma Sooners 6. Alabama Crimson Tide 7. Oklahoma St Cowboys 8. Texas A&M Aggies 9. Notre Dame Fighting Irish 10. Michigan St Spartans 11. Michigan Wolverines 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Can the committee please release their reasonings for these garbage rankings. why the F is Oregon ahead of Ohio State? H2H match up would be a good reason but you totally ruin that arguement when you rank Michigan ahead of Michigan State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really have a problem with it even if Ohio State is the better team now based on a supposed eye test. What we don’t have is consistency. Michigan state ranked behind Michigan with a worse loss than Michigan but the head-to-head win two weeks back. Alabama’s meh resume and at this point not even a look test. Oklahoma hasn’t looked good but neither have some of the one loss teams ahead of them. Cincinnati has the best win aside from Oregon but is ranked behind teams with a worse résumé and a loss. Just give me the BCS rankings back or expand this playoff. This committee is incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be the first to say that the committee's rankings don't make sense, but the Oregon/Ohio State isn't the one that you're going to battle over. They're probably fairly close, but the H2H matchup pushes Oregon ahead. Ohio State was unimpressive in their OOC games, and their win against Penn State looks less impressive. That's their best win at this point and they've lost 3 of their last 4 games. Oregon beat a pretty good Fresno State team in OOC portion of their schedule. And aside from H2H, what part has Michigan State been more impressive then Michigan? Michigan State's win over Miami is probably comparable to Michigan's win over Washington. But against the same opponents (Northwestern, Indiana, and Nebraska), Michigan's MOV over similar opponents was 17 points. Michigan State's MOV was 8 points against those same opponents. And if you actually look at the Michigan/Michigan State game, Michigan State was only leading for like 7 minutes of the entire game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only using the Ohio state Oregon aspect to set up the Michigan Mich St point. Because those 4 teams are in similar situations. So you would think they would use the same Reasoning to rank them.
