For starters, a lot of money can be saved by abolishing this committee, eliminate all these time consuming expensive meetings, and just go with the AP poll..For years the writers decided the national champion, no one pays attention to coaches poll Writers decide all annual baseball awards, HOF inductees , etc, etc and they usually get it right..
AND THIS YR, yet again, the writers have it right How in the world does OSU leapfrog LSU, after coughing up 3 fumbles to nearly blow a 21-0 lead AT HOME against a very overrated PSU team..while LSU has most impressive resume, and greatest win, ON ROAD vs Bama..And PSU at 10 is hideous, after saturday they will have 10 wins, 8 vs stiffs, and one against an average Iowa team with an O out of the roaring 20s...They beat UM while almost choking that away, AT HOME..Again , writers have PSU perfectly slotted, at 12...and the writers at least give ND 15Th, which they deserve over Auburn..
I can't believe they let 2 people who are clueless about college football on the playoff committee.
Regular season schedule is an abomination and the conferences and conference championship game is horrible. I would like to say it’s all about money but I think the powers that be could make much more money with a better format
Al I know is some of the games of that era were remarkable. Far more entertaing than now. I haven't seen any improvement in competition with this new scheme...
(no message)
Elevating OSU over LSU. a team that won AT BAMA, is ridiculous...It makes you wonder if they watched the games; OSU almost gave that game away They, and the committee chair, very unimpressive to me vs former chairs, says virtually nothing on TV.. just look incompetent..and the respect given PSU is a little much...ND has beaten 4, 8 win teams; PSU 2...Not saying ND should be ahead of them, but who have they beat, other than UM, to gain this respect..
AS for scUM, I hate them as much as anyone here, much more than the Trojans..BUT, we all need to get over it Purdue, Iowa, killed OSU last two yrs; OSU coached by one of greatest coaches of all time..Its 2019, blowouts happen...Yes ND has been on the losing ledger too many of them, but it happened Im convinced that those elements played a big role, yes both teams played in it, but for whatever reason, WE LOOKED OUT OF SYNC Im convinced if ND played them this week in South Bend, with Book's improvement it be a different game..Again, blowouts happen..I don't get hung up on them; its the loss that bothers me, whatever the score...
Florida will have one win against a team above 0.500.
"I don't trust computers." Fuckin' hillbillies.
(top 10 if I'm allowed to be a little greedy) and those are the playoff teams...that would be perfect.
Having said that, the committee has only messed up the final top 4 once and that year the team that shouldn't have been in won it all, so yeah, there's that.
The committee is biased big time and seldom get things right. Coaches are the worst, the most biased poll of all.
depending on which formula kept the aIrish out if the top spot, I am skeptical that using AP would better serve us. Right now, AP voters can make a statement knowing it's another poll's voters who have real say. Last I looked, the Massey Computer Composite had us at 11 and Sagarin at 13 ... Both better than human voters
Whether we are worthy or not
Good on you.
