If Auburn wins today they will have beaten the number one and number five teams in the country in back-to-back weeks. Both of those teams will finish in the top ten.

If Ohio State beats Michigan State today it will be their first win over a top 10 team this year and the Spartans are not likely to finish the season in the top 10.


Auburn has definitively proved that it is one of the best teams in the country. What has Ohio State proven? They were ranked number two in the country entering the season based on last year.

There is no doubt that the SEC is a far better conference than The Big Ten this season. Half of the top eight is filled by SEC teams.

Quite frankly it shows a great deal of ignorance and lack of logical and reasoning skills to simply rank a team ahead of another because One has one loss and the other has no losses. By that l Reasoning why was northern Illinois not ranked above Auburn prior to last nights game?

The obvious answer is bias against the SEC and favoritism toward Ohio State. That shows a lack of integrity by the voters and media members.


This is getting into TLDR territory, but Mizzou may have an even better argument than Auburn if they beat Them today by having a win over #3 and being "undefeated in regulation" (thanks Les).

Personally my fear is that the new system wont remove the bias But will only exacerbate it since there will be no public accountability

So?

What does that prove? That none of the mediocre teams on their schedule could beat them.

Again, by that logic Northern Illinois should have been #3 in the polls before last night, right?

I'm not going to read all that text, but they shouldn't go above an undefeated AQ team.

What about an undefeated northern Illinois team had they won last night?

I suspect I know what your answer will be and it just confirms the fact that if you would pick Auburn over Northern Illinois Then it completely invalidates the argument that an undefeated team automatically goes over a one loss team in a far better conference that played a far better schedule, Not to mention proved how strong it was by beating top five teams in back-to-back weeks.
