You actually are correct. I miscounted the top 25 teams. It should have read "definitely 4, but likely 5,...".


Please name the teams, particularly the top 10 teams.

If you have Georgia and A&M counted as "top 10" wins you're going to be laughed right out of this thread.

As previously stated, SOS is taken into account AS OF THE DATE THE GAME WAS PLAYED, and this has been stated directly by committee members multiple times. The corollary is that committee members are not obligated to use the polls to determine their opinion of the quality of a team, but only that whatever criteria they use, it MUST be applied on that date, not after.

Ergo, is is reasonable to assume that many committee members will consider Both Georgia and A&M to be excellent wins, given the prevailing opinion at the time that they were excellent teams.

However, not one us are in their heads. I'm just forming an opinion based on what they, the committee members themselves, have stated directly.
