That's the only logical thing i can think of
Brings in advertising money

The game this weekend will correct this anyways, might as well profit as much as you can

Eta: apparent how bama sits above 8 undefeated teams and florida

Eta2: skip bayless:

Yeah, I'm sure their main motivation was to drive up ratings and advertising costs for a game on CBS

Plus just to hurt LSU right. Cuz' you know it would've been a lot better for LSU to beat the #9 team in the country instead of the #4. That daggum REC always a workin' to hurt everyone else in the conference just to help Bama.

It could be a regular top 5 matchup or...

"Oh look! 2 playoff teams go at it this weekend!"

they probably voted bama 4th because they actually watched the ole miss game and realized that if not for 5 turnovers in alabama territory bama wins that game by 30.

I find all of you jealous cowards to be mental midgets.

The Florida comparison. We creamed UGA far worse and they still had Chubb, Florida didnt control (game control) the Tenn. win and was lucky, Bama controled the game for 50 minutes. Florida beat a bad UK team 14-9, Florida beat East Carolina by 7 points.

All the metrics are taken into account, including game control.

Baylor have played no one, without their "Game Control" they would not be a top 10 school at this moment.

Stanford has not played a defense in the top 45 save for the 18th ranked defense of Northwestern, they were drubbed by Northwestern 16-6. No one besides Stanford is in the top 45 in Defense in the PAC 12, they are all God awful on defense.


Notre Dame lost to Clemson, they also barey beat a bad Virgina team by 7 on a last ditch effort (went for 2) while down 1 late and had to beat Temple late.

Mich. St, beat a Oregon team that isnt seen as much now. They didnt control the Michigan game at all and were lucky to win. They beat Purdue 24-21, beat Rutgers by 7 and didn't look great vs. Western Mich. to open the season.

TCU beat Minnesota 23-17, the beat Texas Tech 55-52 and they beat Kansas State 52-45. TCU has the 60th ranked defense, and they haven't played Baylor, Okie St. or Oklahoma yet.

Iowa realy hasnt played a great schedule but they have played a good schedule, they were held t 70 yards passing and 144 yards rusing vs. Wisc. but won 10-6, they beat Pitt. by 3 and Northwestern. But their overall schedule doesnt have Mich. Ohio St or Mich. St.

The committee looks at Game Control, injuries, road wins over ranked teams, matgin of victory, etc. etc

So does UGA tank if Chubb doesn;t go down ? Bama beat them with Chubb, that is considered. Wisc. running back got injured, Bama suffed him, but does Wisc. lose to Iowa with him, they outplayed them anyway.

Bama's defense can stuff anyone, we are sacking the QB this year, like 27 sacks.

You guys see what yu want to see, the Committee is looking at everything.

False.

Bama is #4 so that when Bama beats Bama on Saturday it will be that much more of a quality loss for Bama.

Also, we need more threads about Bama's CFP ranking.

I think I'll go start a new one for the next thought I have on the topic.

Your pain in LSU's loss this weekend will be lessened in knowing that Bama was ranked #4 with a bullet.
