re: Ranking the 1-Loss Playoff Teams by Quality Wins

You have clearly gone off the rails with this conspiracy

It's not a conspiracy if it happens over and over again.

Look at this season.... It's already happening:

#5 Alabama- ZERO wins against Top 25 teams
#6 Oregon- Win over #23 USC
#8 Penn State- Wins over #13 Michigan and #17 Iowa
#9 Oklahoma- Win over #14 Baylor and #22 Iowa State
#10 Minnesota- Win over #8 Penn State

There are literally four other 1-loss teams who each have much better quality wins compared to Alabama. Yet which of the above ranks the highest?

Drum roll please....

IT'S ALABAMA!!!

What a shocker.

And yes, you can say their loss was to the #1 team in the country, but to anyone who watched that game knows it was never close. LSU dominated from start to finish. Alabama never once led. LSU led by more than one score for over 30 minutes of game time. Again, Alabama led for zero seconds in the game. Bama also scored on a 1-play 85 yard pass with 1:21 to go in the game to make it look more respectable, but it was a beatdown in Bryant Denny to anyone who watched.

Penn State lost on the road to a Top 10 team in a game that was much closer throughout.... yet they have two wins over Top 17 teams. Remember, Bama has zero wins over Top 25 teams. There is no reason right now for Penn State to be ranked behind Bama other than "brand". Zero.
