re: This is why I hate a Committee making the decisions

A perfect example:

Two teams from the same Conference....

*Oklahoma is 7-1
*Baylor is 8-0

*Oklahoma has defeated zero teams in the Top 25
*Baylor has defeated TWO teams in the Top 25

*Oklahoma LOST at #16 Kansas State by 7 points
*Baylor WON at #16 Kansas State by 19 points

What basis would one have to rank Oklahoma ahead of Baylor at this point in the season? But of course, the Committee did just that, ranking 7-1 Oklahoma at #9 and undefeated Baylor at #12.

This is a perfect example of "Brand" trumping actual facts and results on the field. It's also the same reason Ohio State came in at #1 ahead of LSU who clearly has the better resume.
