#13FSU is ranked ahead of #14LSU
#15Oregon State ahead of #16Oregon
#16Oregon ahead of #17 UCLA
#6 Bama ahead of #7 UT

The higher ranking teams won the head to head on the field. All these teams ahve the same exact records. Why did it change for the Bama and UT ranking?

amazing how the other teams that are ranked side by side with same record are our ahead due to head to head.


Perhaps it’s just a coincidence, and other factors played a role in the ranks.

They clearly are using the eye test when comparing Bama and UT at this point in the season.

Y'all need to get this "criteria" stuff out of y'all's heads. Its much more subjective than you clearly seem to think that it is.

FSU didn’t get skulldrug in any of their losses, didn’t have a really bad loss. LSU has a bad loss at a bad time. So it’s easy to put FSU ahead.

Oregon State and Oregon both got skulldrug once. All things being equal, head to head at the end of the season makes sense.

Then we come to the sad case of the stinking Vols. Who got ran out of the stadium by then 6-4 South Carolina. Who btw got dragged on their own field by Georgia and the week prior ran out of the swamp by then 5-4 Florida.

So you’ve got two very bad losses. The committee doesn’t think you’re better, the coaches don’t, and the writers don’t.

The coaches btw think Penn State with two pretty bad losses is better than you too.
