Bama over us this week makes zero sense: they barely beat a 5-7, we smashed a 4-8, both on the road
Everything that had already occurred this season was considered when they had us 9 and them 10
How, from the games this weekend, do you vault Bama over ND? If anything ND should've vaulted OU, or it should have stayed the same
F'ING BS

My read is they are jockeying 1) to cover for the MIA fiasco but more importantly 2) For the road to
the national championship.
This move proves the still rank based on *most likely* revenue matchups / regional interest, but *more importantly* how they want to pit teams to make it difficult or hard to reach the national championship.
A bigger issue for me is Oklahoma. What is it doing at #8. It has no offense. It's 2012 ND
waiting to be humiliated by an actual contender. It scratches out wins. (Its "big" win against Alabama it barely had 200 yds total offense.) I don't get it.
the WHOLE thing is about TV ratings...ND will be in...Hopefully, we get to SMASH A&M or Miami week#1

I think they are saying Bama is in and we’re on the bubble.
If BYU loses, we’re in.
Which is BS...if Bama loses they're no more worthy than last year
They got smoked by 6-7 OU last year and got smoked by 5-7 FSU this year... what's so different???
Yeah, this is a screw job no doubt, BUT I’d rather have the 10 seeding than the 9.
Unless BYU beats TT or they play the game of the century but lose in 4x OT, we’re should be in.
I'd rather be 9 with a chance at 8 and a home game, than 10 with chance of getting bumped out
Too many people are worried about the 2nd round matchup, primary thing should be ensuring we're in, with optimal 1st round matchup secondary.
If we're gonna face Tosu might as well do it after they potentially gained some rust
Because the SEC is awesome!!!
Right?
The lower end of the bracket seems much tougher than the upper bracket as it currently stands. If it
stays this way, we have a juggernaut and a team like Oregon will coast to the semifinals.
I'd rather be anywhere rather than 8 or 9
After we beat whoever is #7, I'd like to avoid OSU in the 2nd round.
My theory: CFP is shifting from week-by-week results to a "whole season" view, which favors Bama and
all its "quality wins" in the SEC, while we are burdened by a schedule full of crappy ACC teams
How would "whole season" view change from last week when the only think that changed was last game?

It's the difference between adjusting teams up or down based on last appearance, which is what
weekly polls do, and looking at a whole season, which naturally gives more weight to early season defeats (ours!) which don't have as much impact week after week. All the "Miami deserves to be in over ND" talking heads are giving equal weight to every result without looking at overall improvement, game control, and who is playing backups in the 4th quarter as opposed to having your starting QB throw a TD pass with 41 seconds left. Pitt playing poorly against Miami -- and throwing 2-yard passes the whole fourth quarter -- surely didn't help us. Seems to me the only justification for dropping us in the rankings is to look less at season-long improvement and to give equal weight to every result regardless of timing, which means Miami's two crappy losses are just part of a total picture, not evidence that they worsened during the season, which they undoubtedly did.
And the FSU loss looks even worse.

It should, but apparently that didn't happen
