I'm a Baylor fan and I really like how they did rankings frankly. Baylor didn't deserve to be above TCU after WVU

This is how I see them doing things:

Things that matter:
Record
head to head
strength of schedule
conference championship
quality of performance

things that dont matter:
uniform color
polls
ESPN pundits
previous years
fanbase

There are going to be conflicting deductions among the things that matter, just because TCU and Oregon were ahead of Baylor and Arizona doesn't mean they were ignoring head to head. and it doesn't mean they were inconsistent regarding Ala/Ole Miss vs BU/TCU Alabama lacks quality wins, TCU had OU and Minnesota.

Bama not gonna be spoon fed into the top spot like they are by the biased media week to week. They'll have to win out.

Agree, but will not know for sure till after LSU game. Just think 1 loss Bama right now is better than any 1 loss ACC or B1G teams. Kansas State is my #1 Big 12 over TCU and Baylor until they lose in conference. Oregon has the easiest remaining PAC schedule. Maybe you could put Bama behind Oregon or Kansas State today, but not me.

How are you basing your rankings? The only victory of note that bama has is a narrow win over the 24th ranked team in the nation.

Bama gonna Bama just like Tigers gonna Tiger.

Both could win the remaining slate of games and would not surprise me at all. Flip that coin and hard for me to believe either will have more than 3 losses at seasons end.
