Quit complaining. Just because your team isn't ranked where you want doesn't mean the committee is stupid. We complained for years about the BCS because of computers. The committee has a nice mix of people from many different avenues of life and the country, which makes potentials bias offset. My team isn't ranked as I hoped they would be, but I'm smart enough to see we don't deserve it. Two bad losses, no super quality wins. Bama fans are blown away by being passed by TCU. TCU has way better quality wins, and their only loss was to a Top 10 team on the road by 3. Oklahoma, KState, West Virginia are all very good wins.

The committee isn't "out to get you," they have logic and reasoning behind their rankings, something the BCS never had. Is it perfect, no, but it is the a lot better than anything else we have had in the past.

Haven't seen any Bama fans be "blown away".

Why do people keep making this weird narrative up?

Not true, there is a strong bias to keep Vanderbilt down!



Condi hates Vandy as she went the Notre Dame and Stanford. When was the last time you saw Stanford travel to Nashville to play the Dores?

No it's not. I would prefer the AP select the 4 teams. It seems to me a larger sample from all over the country would be better than 13 people. Having said that I am fine with the committee.

SEC fans have a preconceived idea of how Bama fans will react in all situations. If that occurs they say I told you so, bu if it does not they flame as if it was.

I have been very pleased with the Committee so far, and I'm not just talking about their selection of #1. I don't agree with all of their choices, but they do appear to be unbiased and fair in their rankings to date. Come December, there are going to be 2 or 3 fan bases upset that they aren't in the Top 4. MSU might be one of them. But at least I am confident that MSU is not going to get shafted just because they have no name recognition or won't generate TV ratings.

Bullschitte.

Arizona State was a FIVE TOUCHDOWN LOSER at HOME to UCLA.
Ohio State was a TWO TOUCHDOWN LOSER at HOME to the last place team in the ACC Coastal division, Virginia Tech.

There is no way that those two teams should be rated ahead of Ole Miss or Auburn, or LSU or Georgia, for that matter.

Without ASU and OSU in the "Top 10" the map of contenders has Oregon, two teams from central Texas, two from Mississippi, two from Alabama, and one from the Florida panhandle.

Those are not the demographics the beancounters at the networks want to see.
