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.

He’s right.

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.

Yep. If people read it they would agree.

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?

Really two depending on how you feel about Virginia Tech. Mark Richt has his team pulling what a lot of his best Georgia teams did, getting hot after looking shaky early on (but somehow escaping even just 1 loss before then).

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.

Look. I know some on this board are lacking certain mental capabilities to understand what I was talking about. I’m not bitching about Uga being 7. I’m not whining about getting beat down by Auburn. I’m simply saying that using injuries to justify a ranking is not a good thing. Then I listed 3 examples of injuries. I was not implying (sorry if you don’t know what that means Fine) that they should consider Uga to be ranked higher. I’m saying it’s part of the game. They have not mentioned this focus until this week. I’m really sorry for confusing some of you with actual football ball talk. For some football talk is “we screwed dem puppies in the butt and drug deir balls on their fans face”. But I guess it’s wrong of me to judge. Carry on.

Exactly
TV is the only reason a committee exists really. They could've easily just picked four teams with the BCS process. The committee is there to ensure good matchups and to put the bigger brands in if at all justifiable, and they've made their criteria very broad to make it so they can justify just about anything.
It also just gives ESPN something to show on Tuesday night.

Meh, Eason is healthy and still riding the bench. UGA’s only loss came with a healthy Eason on the bench. Clemson is a different team with their starting QB. Once Bama starts getting their backers back—and they will in the next 2-3 weeks—they become a different team. I think the committee would be foolish not to account for such things. I’m fine with the top 4–the order of the top 4 is really irrelevant at this point anyway.

Oooh, probably ought to pin your hopes on something else.

Again Tider. I was using Eason as an example of players going down. Not saying we would be better with him. Clemson lost to a 4-6 team. Bryant played almost a full half. If they are going to give Clemson credit for this loss because they did not have their qb for a half then what about everybody else. Bama several games with out lbs and beat teams better than Syracuse. Aub without johnson at Clemson. Only lost by 8. He could have made a difference. Uga having to play a true freshman qb all year when he was beaten out by Eason. With that said, we are better with Fromm.With using this reason for Clemson, they need to apply it to everyone.

The rankings mean nothing right now.
Posted on 11/15/17 at 9:32 pm to tider04
Elite teams should not lose to a 4-6 team because their qb is out. Elite teams overcome this because they are great in all parts of the game. Clemson should have remained 4, not jump to 2. That Syracuse game was a long time ago. Now it matters. No mention of this when it happened

I agree with you. As far as the rankings go teams should live and die by the quality of their depth. When Eason went down UGA answered with Fromm. If you can't beat a 4-6 team with a backup qb then you don't deserve to be the #2 team in the nation. Especially when there are a few undefeateds left on the table.
