Why does CFP weight matchups based on rankings at time of game?

chubb and michel were healthy for the bama game while not for the florida game. you dont think that should be considered?

also i read that they dont look at the ap poll so i dont know where you are getting info about them looking at rankings from time of play.

I get that, but Georgia's problem isn't with their RBs, they have terrible QB and WR play.

Would Georgia have done a bit better with Chubb? Certainly. Would it have mattered? No

I think they do the opposite. It's a week by week analysis of the teams. Long even said as much last year. Overall record is important yes but where they differ from the BCS is how did that team look this week. The problem with this is the same thing everybody was so happy about. It doesn't start until November. Too many games have been played by that time. Remember how they kept shuffling the top 4 towards the end of the season last year. Bama would be 4 then 2 then back to 4 then to 1. Just based on that week. At the end of the day just get in that top 4 and it works itself out. There is no way to do it right with 4 teams and 5 P5 conferences. You gotta go to 8 or 10.

All conference champs
3-5 at large teams
You can't just have conference champs because all conferences aren't created equally. It's why basketball has at-larges.

What the college football pundits have to understand is you either have a playoff or don't have one. There is no way to make it somewhere in the middle and be prudent for all deserving teams.

There is no logical reason for Alabama to be ranked ahead of Florida based on the resume to this point in the season. But the media's rebuttal will simply be "But it's Alabama." And they will repeat it until you stop challenging it because they are lazy thinkers at best or outright shills at worst.

Well lets take this into consideration:

As the LSU poster stated above, Bama played Georgia in Athens with Georgia being full strength

Bama lost to Ole Miss at home by 6 while turning the ball over 5 times. Florida blew Ole Miss out with the Rebs turning it over themselves.

The Tennessee game is a wash, but Bama played Tennessee with the Vols coming off a bye.

Did Bama beat a better Georgia team than Florida? Sure. Georgia is better with Chubb and Michel healthy. But was Georgia really that good of a team with both of those guys? Terrible QB and WRs. Bad defense. They both beat Georgia badly so that shouldn't matter.

However, Florida's one loss is much better than Bama's one loss. On the road in Death Valley against a top 4 team is a better loss than at home to a pretty good Ole Miss.

They definitely shouldn't consider the teams ranked at the time they played. The committee ranks the top 10.. preseason media rankings should have no bearing.

They were predicting Auburn to win the SEC

On what planet does this matter?

The ability to create turnovers and/or not turn the ball over yourself is a hallmark of a great team.

Only in the minds of Alabama fans does turning it over 5 times and losing mean you are the better team.

Alabama gets much more credit for blowing out a top 10 Georgia than Florida does for blowing out a 5-2 Georgia.

- You played an injury ravaged UGA.
- Alabama played a full powered UGA.

Don't let these facts stop your agenda

i disagree. it definitely should be in the equation. aside from injuries, it is totally different playing the #3 team as opposed to the #17 team. teams treat the rankings totally different, even if they're not supposed to.

For someone claiming Stanford, even with the LSU sig, you're not very bright. We lost. But we aren't better because we turned it over and only lost by 6. We are better because we are better and had an incredibly shitty game. It happens. It may cost us a playoff spot. I think most Bama fans are trying to say that even though we played that badly, we still only lost by 6. It was easily the worst regular season performance we've had under a Saban team (since 08, in a regular season game). Yet, we could have won it, and might have if not for the helmet TD. But shite happens in football.

But if you really can't see the difference between Bama/Ole Miss right now, then you're going to be very disappointed Saturday.
