Oh don't get me wrong. I've never liked the idea of a selection committee and have maintained that we should've just used BCS rankings for selecting the top 4. That said, I would put the odds if us winning out and not being in the top 4 at approximately one in a thousand.

I don't think y'all would be left out either. But the potential is still there. Actually, the real -- as in, it could feasibly happen this season -- danger is Bama winning out, MSU winning out except for Bama, and the committee taking a hard line about whether MSU is actually worthy in spite of the evidence, simply because they don't want to rock the boat by picking two SEC teams. The BCS formula could do that, but it was a lot harder to manipulate than a small group.

No it isn't. Enough with this stuff, it's really ignorant.

There is no possible way they would leave us out, considering how they have ranked the teams. In fact the way they have done it, give credence to significant wins. We have two (possible three with SEC title) left. Baylor has one left. FSU has zero (hence why they dropped) and Oregon has possibly one in ASU in the championship game. TCU has zero.

Meaning TCU and FSU can go no where but down unless someone above them loses. Where as Alabama, Oregon, Baylor and ASU can move up regardless of if those in front of them lose or not. They showed this by dropping FSU for Oregon who beat a significant opposition, EVEN though FSU is undefeated.

FSU beat a weak team in Virgina. Oregon blew out a good team in Utah. They rewarded the significant victory.

They will do the same with us if we beat Moo State. We'll probably see a big leap in the ranking to #2.

This overreaction is even worse than the few who were asking if Derrick Henry was a bust.
