Week 1 College Football Playoff Committee Rankings Thread

[Pelicans78]

Baylor lost their QB. So no surprise.

He should be more durable.

[Pelicans78]

This is all run by ESPN. And ESPN has a contract with the SEC. It's a joke.

Any team with Utah or Stanford as the Conference's best is a joke. Pac-12 has taken a step back this year.

[pgardn]

Yeah.

Breaking the neck can be avoided.
So now that Baylor has a true Freshman starting at QB you make proclamations.

[Silver&Black]

sec is also on eastern time zone* ... poor big 12 stuck in central. (nd aligns with what? the acc ...) tv conspiracies anyone?



*except for you know, the western half...*

WTF? Alabama and LSU are in the central time zone.

Let's try to talk football stuff in this thread.....no "time zone" smack please.

[Obstructed_View]

And I totally agree with that (as I told you earlier).

But, the SOS # is all that matters right now. No amount of complaining about media SEC bias is going to make Baylor's SOS # go down. They've played an awful schedule so far.

Baylor's most difficult games come at the end of the season....let's see what the final SOS # is at when the season is over.


EDIT: Go undefeated...and none of it will matter anyways.

Agreed on 99 percent. On the premise that it's the conference records for the two teams that makes up the majority of the SOS, I still maintain, and maybe I'm just delusional, that Baylor's opponents are not anywhere as bad as the rankings seem to think. The Big 12 has four great teams at the top of the division, and the byproduct is several really good teams that have four losses. If you look at the losses for the middle teams in the big 12 there's a load of quality teams in there. Iowa State has five losses, and the combined record of four of those opponents is 28-1.

I agree on seeing where they are at the end, though. If Baylor's SOS is really 110 right now, I can't imagine their remaining schedule is enough to put them anywhere respectable. If your wins are so undervalued, maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea scheduling tough opponents because the only way to even get recognition is not to lose.

To pgardn's point, it might turn out to be terrible planning by the Big 12 yet again scheduling all their top teams for late-season losses.

[Avante]

All it is is this?

Who will play the SEC stud team?

Stanford would beat anybody in the SEC. Believe that.

EXCEPT FOR YOU KNOW THE WESTERN HALF

in Mississippi state education smh

Still don't understand your logic. You said "poor Big 12 stuck in central". The two SEC teams that made it play in the central time zone.

You know what....I really don't care. 90% of people here are debating who played who....how much they won by.....where they played at.......you're talking about what time zone they play in and tv conspiracies.

Get the outta here with that bull .

It's called the east coast bias

[Silver&Black]

EXCEPT FOR YOU KNOW THE WESTERN HALF

think about it, dogg

I know dogg....

West- <-
East- ->

For the 3rd time now.......what the does that have to do with anything concerning this thread. Explain to me why I should be worried about "How your time zone could determine if your team makes the playoff or not".

[Silver&Black]

Pretty sure I've heard people complain about a West coast bias also...

I'm talking college football here. Stats...schedules...final scores....where the teams played at...you know Blake...relevant things. I just don't think that time zones should be discussed. The East coast bias didn't hurt Ohio St from getting the final spot last year........

Convince me I'm wrong.

[benefactor]

TCU
we were disrespected
punching yourself in the a few days later

[Splits]

1) Alabama
2) LSU
3) Arkansas
4) Notre Dame

[Splits]

5) Vanderbilt
6) Florida
7) Auburn
8) Miss St.

[Silver&Black]

Lmao lamao. Did you ask your vandy friend yet

It's not fair
We all play in the central time zone
The SEC doesn't...You know except for the western half
50% of the teams to make it are Tigers
The committee favors teams called the Tigers

[Blake]

Memphis would beat Baylor @Memphis. They're no Lamar or SMU.

Roflrofl losing to Navy

Lol utsa losing to Old Dominion

Lol west coast bias. I've never heard that.

Lolol Ohio is part of the East Coast bias. If anything, it helped them squeeze past Baylor and TCU last year. If one were to believe in that kinds of thing.....

[AFBlue]

1) Clemson
2) Alabama
3) Ohio St.
4) Notre Dame

Couple things I'll be interested in...

1. How far does LSU fall? The committee obviously holds Alabama in high regard or they wouldn't have placed them in the Top-4 in the initial poll. They've also shown a willingness to forgive losses against top teams (see: Notre Dame).

2. How high do they vault Okie St...could they even jump Baylor? No doubt they have the best win in the conference, dominating TCU in Stillwater. But, Baylor has looked more consistently dominant over similar compe ion thus far. It'll be an interesting litmus test for their thinking...consistent dominance or single dominating win.

[Silver&Black]

If Noone from Vanderbilt will talk to you maybe you can ask an aggy. A&M is a good school

It's impossible for the Big 12 to make it because they play in the Central Time zone

[Avante]

Notre Dame will get all the love. Media adores the Golden Dome.

The Big12 is looked at as a alot of gizmo/gadget, while the SEC...plays D.

Alabama has lost to one team this season and that team is depicted in their most recent game above. Quit being a hack. SEC defense this season is not the same as in previous.
