If state loses how do they fall behind Bama or oregon? They would have the best loss and still the most quality wins.


Byproduct of "if you're going to lose, lose early". They can't put Team A above Team B that high in the rankings if they just lost to Team B.

But, as the season goes on, Team A can climb above Team B. Which is why you need to lose early so you have a chance to come back. If you lose late, you're fricked- no games left to win, or for higher ranked teams to lose and drop.

Have Yall not been following the committee's rankings at all? They have not been reactionary at all like that.

Timing of a loss doesn't mean anything to the committee.
