I’d be fine if they were, but 1 loss is far enough ahead of 3 losses to avoid being passed. 3 losses including a beat down is too much.

On the flipside Sc also has more ranked wins than those around them. All 3 of their losses were to ranked teams (at the time)

SC only has 2 ranked wins, and both were near losses (Mizzou and Clemson). Bama and ole Miss also have 2 ranked wins including head to head over the gamecocks. And ole miss’s wins were by 3 scores.

I think they could leave both out because they don’t want to have to choose between the 2.

Kinda like in 2014 when they couldn’t decide between Baylor and TCU so they just left both out

This clown committe doesn’t care anything about strength of schedule, just wins and loses.

They should be. They are complete garbage and will lose by 30 if they draw a team outside of the Big 12 or ACC

This could very well be true but the melts today over Bama with a remote possibility of being in has been a very nice consolation to this otherwise very shitty season.

If you lose to Vandebilt, you should be disqualified!

That's not what happened. OSU beat Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big 10 championship and jumped them both.

Agreed but the committee may not buy that. How will you cope if they put Bama in? That right there is the bigger question.

I don’t think southern Methodist is as much of a lock as people think they are with a Clemson loss

Who is your other ranked win? Aggies aren’t in either poll and won’t be in the committee rankings either.

Who knew December was cherry picking season?

Would you like to see my list of teams that were the only conference win for other teams and the loss occurred on their home field? I promise it's very short.

Bama is 3-1 over teams currently ranked in the top 25. They are in. The perfect time to drop them farther was last week and that didn't happen. Y'all are just kidding yourselves if you think otherwise. They have a better resume than ole miss and SC.
