KC Joyner needs to lose their "expert" title and possibly their job...

If your going by the 4 best teams in college football it isn't that crazy imo. No doubt FSU will and should get in due to the fact they are the defending champs with fuck her in the pussy still at QB.... But FSU isn't as impressive as last year. They play in a pretty weak conference and weren't nearly as dominant as some other teams were.

My 4 best teams would be Bama, Oregon, TCU, and OSU. Impossible not to have an undefeated defending champion in though with the reigning headman winner there.

TCU is gonna get screwed I think

Silver is normally right ... so hopefully he is here.

Joyner is terrible across the board. I remember three years ago when he wrote an article about why Mike Wallace is a better receiver than Calvin Johnson.

Fucking disgrace if Ohio State sneaks in

Would figure KC for a females name


Never heard of him/her

Beating Wisconsin 59-0 isn't sneaking in.

The real disgrace is that the conference with ONE TRUE CHAMPION has "co-champions". If the XII had balls, Baylor would be its champ and might get in over tOSU. That conference deserves to watch the playoffs from home.

TCU screwed themselves by blowing a 21 point lead in the fourth quarter.

Disagree. FSU played a real non conference schedule and is undefeated. It's a tougher schedule than TCU, Ohio State, and Baylor. It shouldn't even be a question if they get in.

The committee is retarded for ever dropping them from #1. Putting them below one loss TCU was criminal. I blame Ty.

How in the fuck is Silver modeling this?

I'm just a stupid duck, but I can't for the life of me imagine generating some kind of model for what 20 or so people sitting in a room decide to do.

ESPN is putting its weight behind Ohio State, and while the committee has told ESPN to fuck off previously this season - let's be honest - Ohio State/Oregon and Alabama/FSU bring more eyeballs to TV sets and satisfy the traditions of CFB way more than bringing in upstart private college programs TCU or Baylor.

The Big XII, besides prating about "one true champion" and then hemming and hawing at the end of the season when their second place team kept showing up in the rankings in front of their first place team... also got fucked by having their powerhouse programs UT and OU have down years. Kansas State would also have been a better rep than the private schools. The sad fact is, TCU and Baylor just don't have huge fanbases.

The contradiction on display here is why the Big XII deserves to be fucked in the ass:

The committee says they start from scratch every week. We'll see

Cocksucking cowards on the committee took the easiest way out. Fuck

Starting from scratch every week is weird. The top 6 could all play again next week, all win by double digits, and the rankings could come out completely different? Sounds gay.

Strength of schedule changes every week. The old system is the earliest loss is the highest ranked based on rankings in August.

This is flexible and they got it right in my opinion

I value and respect your opinion . Your two dads raised you to be fair minded and thoughtful.

Fuck resumes.

For example, playing Oklahoma in October is far different than playing Oklahoma today.

But if you just look at the resume, you'd say that there's no difference between the teams. You have to have some subjectivity when considering this and not just blind resumes. If you do that, that's as FS as anything else used.

Bottom line is that the system as it is is going to leave a P5 conference champion out each year. The Big 10 was absolute dog shit this year but they are in the Final Four.

Until you get to a position where all of the P5 conference champions are in the picture at minimum, the system is still ridiculously subjective.
