CFP Selection Committee Top 4

[baddog]

 

 

 

 

if you discount fcs opponents, Baylor and Houston have the two worst opponent win % in all of FCS. 127th and 128th. 

Baylor opp % 0.279 
Houston opp% 0.236

 

It's obvious that the committee weighed heavily the strength of schedule.   The Big 12's should improve this month, but according to the 1st rankings the committee doesn't think very highly of the conference.

I don't think much about the committee.

[Peppermint Patty]

I don't think much about the committee.

To date, they have gotten it right in the end. The only reason to even post a ranking this early is to generate interest and discussion. 

Expand to 8 teams. Play the games on the field. Win your conference championship, make the playoffs. Take out the "opinion".

We will still complain about 6,7 & 8, but I agree.   Take the 5 conference champions and 3 wild cards.  It gives the group of 5 teams a chance and 2 other good teams will get in.  Art can keep scheduling patsies and it won't even matter.

They certainly got it right last year, after all the complaining about tOSU.  Well, almost.  Based on the absolute beatdown TCU laid on Ole Miss, you could argue they belonged in instead of FSU.  But no way you can leave out an undefeated defending National Champion.

At least the games are settled on the field and not the ESPN programming room.

I have a lot of folks who disagree with me so maybe I'm wrong.  But I still think OU gets in if they win out.  The FPI loves them - 3 and the highest ranked 1 loss team, although that should change after Bama's win today.  They have to win at Baylor which is doable, then beat TCU at home (probable) and finish at okie lite (doable).

And then there were 6

 

Clemson (9-0)

Ohio State (9-0)

Iowa (9-0)

Baylor (8-0)

Oklahoma State (9-0)

Houston (9-0)

 

 

Baylor and Okie Lt still have to play   How many of these teams end the regular season unbeaten?

I knew I was forgetting someone.  5 unbeatens went down this week.  

[TxHoops]

Freudian slip.  Iowa is the worst of the unbeatens probably.   

[king]

I'm expecting Oklahoma State to get in tonight.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Clemson, Bama, Ohio State and Okie Lite my top 4 this week. 

[BS Wildcats]

Clemson, Bama, Ohio State and Okie Lite my top 4 this week.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Unbelievable FSU didn't drop. Okie Lite only 8th?  Wth. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

How in the hell is Baylor ahead of Okie Lite?! Did the committee watch the OSU/TCU game????

i thank you. Seems funny the AAC has the same amount of teams in the poll as the beloved SEC and the Big12. Gotta love parity.

You said it.  I really don't remember a year with more parity than this one.  Really wish there were 8 teams in a playoff this year.  It would be wide open, even with that many teams.

Navy has the chance to blow this whole thing to shreds. I really hope they win out now.

The fact that ESPN has to post that Tweet just proves the point.....
