Fans have to realize. Its more important where a team is ranked when you play them vs after you play them. If a team loses they generally fall in ranking. But you dont say the team they beat is not as good this week as they were last week before their loss. If OSU is undefeated for 3 straight years and is #1 and loses to another team. Its more important to know that other team beat the #1 ranked team than to know 5 weeks later they "only" beat the #10 team. It was the same team. And had they not lost, they would still be #1 if no one else beat them. It kills me that people cant get this.
Great post and I am right there with you...the wins a team has in and of themselves, not mentioning lingering effects, tamp down the team that lost whereas they might have been riding high before getting destroyed.

whatever that means. Clemson doesn't care about me one way or another.
Some of you have advanced the notion Clemson sucks b/c NC State scored 41 points. I pointed out that 2 plays were crucial for them scoring 14 of those points, two plays that don't happen very much. and they still loss by 15 at home.
Plus they have a big elusive NFL type QB.

EXACTLY! You are one of the few I have debated this with that gets this! Look at the QB situation for UGA, their QB was riding high and all we heard was how awesome he was in passing efficiency but Alabama had dude sitting on the bench, not injured...straight benched before halftime
Or... maybe he was just bad? He was certainly rattled to say the least. He was basically Kenny Trill.. heralded after playing a single exceptional game against currently 3-5 South Carolina
Here are his yards passing per game.. 141, 116, 330 (HYPE), 146, 86, 279, 178, benched. Dude has been absolutely awful against every team he played with a pulse.

Y'all are hilarious. Bama over undefeated Baylor, TCU, Michigan State, etc. is ridiculous.
It's not even just Bama homerism to think otherwise, it's also SEC homerism, which is what makes fans of our conference so insufferable and such terrible football fans.

You just said Alabama has a "better defense" but his benching had nothing to do with Alabama in general? Oh come on dude, you are just typing out of the bum now...you're not even making sense. Besides, until Alabama dismantled the QB, yes all we heard going into the game were his glorious stats then Bama D...boom...toast. Revisionist history in full display bro...

That is complete horse shite. UGA was overrated, period. They've been exposed. You shouldn't get credit for beating #7 UGA when they're a bad team in general.
2008 LSU beat #10 Auburn in 2008 and won the 1st 4 games of the season to get as high as #4 in the country. Turns out LSU was a fraud that year and finished 8-5 and unranked. Auburn finished 5-7 and didn't make a bowl.
Current rankings at the time you played are complete bologna, particularly in September and October.

they had hardly played any games prior to Alabama. I believe SC was the only SEC game they had played at that point.
you basically acting like Bama's defense is so great that this QB couldn't even go up against Vandy's defense he was so shellshocked.
typical Bama boosterism
best QB Bama has faced is Swag, and he had a solid game and Ole Miss won.

None of this matters yet and it just got them what they wanted, pissed off people talking about college football for the next week.
Here is how it will be:
-Undefeated B10 champ is in, one loss B10 champ is on the bubble (MSU/OSU/Iowa)
-Undefeated or one loss SEC champ will be in (Bama, LSU or UF)
-Undefeated B12 champ is in, but likely out with a loss (TCU, Baylor)
-Pac12 needs help (Stanford)
-Undefeated ACC Champ is in, one loss champ is on the bubble (Clemson, FSU)
-No one cares about Houston, Memphis, etc
Ignore the 1-4 rankings, they will play games with them to get the most marketable semi-finals possible.
Everything else is just conversation.

Or.. preseason hype and perception were the only reason they were ranked. Auburn (Preseason #6, currently unranked), Georgia (Preseason #9, currently unranked), Florida St (Preseason #10, currently unranked), Oregon (Preseason #7, currently unranked), USC (Preseason #8, currently unranked)
So half of the fricking preseason top-10 is now unranked and you want to give teams credit for beating a top-10 team?

Umm nope...2 big 10 teams with shitty defenses and shitty SOS plus MSU who simply is over-rated. You seem to be the one getting carried away and basing everything off being undefeated. There are undefeated Pop-Warner teams now, does that make them better than Stanford, Florida, Bama, etc...just because they are undefeated? It does matter who you have played along the way.

I think the committee guidelines need a bullet added that states "wins are substantially more valuable than losses"
who gives a frick how tough your SOS is if it includes fricking LOSSES?

The majority of the country thought both UGA and A&M were legit teams and many thought they would beat Bama. Both were undefeated after several games and ranked in the top 10. So Bamas wins were very good wins. The fact they broke those teams spirit and they declined after the loss is not Bamas fault. Many teams have fallen apart after a huge loss to Alabama, or any other strong team for that matter.

And after Alavama beats LSU and they collapse and lose to Ole Miss the next week, we lose yet another quality win. When will Bama find a quality opponent. Somebody show up!

Exactly. State is the best team in the country and has 2 losses. Some teams get better as the season progresses.
