Horrible job by the committee

Kirby and Bill Hancock said the committee is really putting a focus on injured players. This was the bases for Clemson being 2. A few things. They were losing 17-14 when he went down. Georgia lost their starting qb the 3rd series of the year. Bama has lost starters at lb. I believe Johnson for Aub missed the Clemson game. They have really screwed up using an injury to justify a ranking. Everyone has injuries. Elite teams overcome injuries and win. If Clemson can’t beat 4-6 Syracuse without their qb for a half, then they are not the 2nd best team in the country. The committee now has to use this “focus” when ranking all teams. They made this more difficult on themselves. What a bad statement they made last night.

Miami should be #2.

What.
Eason being lost doesn't matter because his job was lost.
Clemson at #2 is still a fricking joke though and I hope South Carolina upsets them on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

They could stick Troy up there if it was their opinion that they were the 2nd best team.
There are no rules or parameters

Miami has one win where they looked really good. Bad schedule. One game where they looked really good. Needed a horseshoe up their asses to beat FSU and Tech. Why do people keep trying to crown them?

The Playoff Committee modifies their criteria to justify the teams they want to be in the top 4. Quality loss, game management, injuries, etc. They will make sure the teams in the playoff represent all the top viewer markets. Advertising dollars drive the selection process.

I'd have Miami number two, but Clemson's QB was playing hurt the first half against Syracuse. To say they had him for a half is true, but he was severely limited.

Having a committee of partial judges is retarded in the first place. Not that it hasn't ben mentioned a billion times, but they should have just kept the BCS and made it a 4 team playoff.

The rankings mean nothing right now.

I haven't seen UGA fans cry like this since the Spurrier years.

quote:
Selection committee chair Kirby Hocutt said No. 4 Oklahoma's loss to four-loss Iowa State kept it from going higher, but he was pressed about why Clemson, then, was No. 2 after losing to six-loss Syracuse. Hocutt said Clemson's six wins vs. teams with winning records are more than any other team in the top 25. The committee continues to factor in the injury to Clemson QB Kelly Bryant in its loss. "When we looked at Oklahoma's loss to Iowa State, there was no such injury that the selection committee had talked about or was aware of," he said. "We continue to take into account with Clemson's loss the injury to their quarterback and also the fact he came into that game not 100 percent."

If they both win out Miami and Clemson have a play in game anyway so none of this matters as long as both are in the top 5.
No one will remember or care what the rankings are right now.
U(sic)GA isn't top 4 under any scenario until they win some more.

I understand what you are ranting about but its so much deeper than that. There is no way to logically place these teams. The great thing about it is, none of it matter. Clemson and Miami will play and that will be decided. Auburn -Alabama and Georgia will play and that will be decided
If you are trying to justify loses, how do you do that with Auburn losing to LSU who lost to troy?
I know this is more about them saying Injuries were the reason but its just a justification for a loss which you just cant do in college football.

Clemson is where they are because they’ve played a tough schedule, beating more teams with a winning record than anybody in college football.
That used to be all that mattered when it was SEC teams that could say that.....
With the 5th ranked schedule nobody else is even close to Clemson in the top 10 of the Sagarin rankings except Notre Dame.

The committee consistently does a horrible job. There is no baseline and the bcs ranking system with a 4 team playoff would be much better. But they want control to create big matchups (see Clemson and miami's ranking this week) as well as to have something to discuss week in and week out.
I love the playoff but the committee is horrible and when they start expanding the playoff it will be the beginning of the end of college football as we know it. Enjoy it while it lasts

Gee another Georgia fan that doesn't understand how the playoff rankings work and that the rankings until Dec 3rd are completely meaningless.
