Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

This weeks committee head scratcher...

Last week 2 SEC teams. Obviously that made no sense and reflected the inherent SEC bias within committee.

This week? Alabama @ #2 (with a bad loss at home to unranked Ole miss, near miss vs Tennessee at home), plus the fact theyve beaten 1 ranked team all year.

#4 Notre Dame. Irish have victories over 2 ranked teams...Temple and Navy. I warned of ND bias before playoff formed, and at some point will be at expense of the pac 12. If ND beats Stanford, Utah beats Stanford in title game, ND will get nod over 1-loss, conference champ Utah. Why play a conf. Championship game if no benefit is awarded?

The committee is as biased as the bcs. College football is a shit show, im switching my allegiance over to FCS, where true college football is played.

    Did you post this while wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt?

    Good points Puppy. There are several Power Five teams who have gotten the shaft by the SECCBSPN Complex. Off the top of my head, Iowa, Okie State, and Gaylor are a few. Putting a one loss team above a zero loss team is almost as dumb as saying, "Well, gee, the Seahawks were 9-7, but they seem like a better team than the 10-6 Vikings. Umm, let's just put the Seahawks in the playoffs instead."

    You just can't underestimate the impact of that Portland State win over a Pac-12 power team early in the year

    Don't worry Pup. Only one SEC team is getting in. It's not going to be Florida. Alabama might shut them out. The real bummer is if Notre Dame gets in.

    1) Clemson
    2) Alabama
    3) Ohio State
    4) Whoever wins Notre Dame - Stanford

    Baylor or Oklahoma State might end up crying because of their schedule. They will need an Ohio State or Clemson to lose.

    Clemson will probably lose to Duke or North Carolina or some shit ACC team. I don't know their division and I'm not going to bother looking them up since they add teams every two weeks and who cares. :pensive: I just have a hunch because it's Clumpson.

    Oklahomo might bust in. They lost relatively early and as much as the committee likes to pretend that they're fair and balanced, they aren't. It might even be a subconscious thing, but let's face it, Oklahomo is a better draw and a bigger name than Iowa, TCU, Gaylor, Ok State, Utah, and Furd.

    If Notre Dame beats Stanford and Stanford beats Utah then ND would earn it. Only loss to #1 Clemson on the road with a two point conversion to tie. I think ND earns it over Utah anyway and of course TV ratings clinch it. Welcome to America.

    Utah will lose again. The south champ can still be UCLA or USC. Stanford could lose to whOregon (lol). The Pac 12 is a shit show

    The Big 12 could have an unbeaten champ or unbeaten in the league Oklahoma with a non con win over the SEC. Folks, that's why everyone loves the SEC.

    Clemson could choke and the ACC is out.

    The B1G champ could have a loss. Iowa is choking out this week and they suck anyway. It's fucking Iowa.

    Every year fans get amnesia about how teams drop like flies in November. By the time the final poll is out is will make perfect sense except to the irrational SEC haters. Folks, that's why everyone loves the SEC.

    And the ESPNSEC Networks thank you for giving FREE PUB to an absolutely meaningless CFP poll and getting me to add my wisdom

    Folks that's why everyone loves Race Bannon

    Did you watch clemson-fsu? Clemson is a s good on defense as they are on offense...dont think so dummy.

    NC has a chance in conf title game, but no way do the heels have the defense to stop clemson
