It's funny that you are clinging to this notion that teams do not move down in the polls after they lose. This is as close to a college football fact as any fact in all of college football.


quote:

Are you now going to argue that TCU didn't move down in the polls because of their strength of schedule improving? Or did it have anything to do with the playoff committee manufacturing how the playoff teams align? ... not having Michigan and Ohio State rematch in round 1 of the playoffs. ... setting up the possibility that Michigan and Ohio State could face one another in the finals.


Now hold on a minute - didn’t you just say it’s “a fact” that no one has lost and ever not moved down? I thought it was a “fact” wtf? But it looks like you’re wrong and now have some spin on it, shocking. Didn’t see that coming.

Now I’m getting met with more conjecture about what the committee was doing. This is asinine. This is you literally quoting incorrect things, me dismantling every single one with objective facts and then you crying about “motives” and complete conjecture. This is how boomers navigate shite. I can’t deal with it. I’m quoting facts and get met with this opinionated bullshite. Good day to you ser.

I've got to run.

My point...
Losses matter more than strength of schedule in polls. Always has. Always will.

The playoff committee does whatever they want whenever they want. They aren't consistent year to year. They aren't consistent week to week. They aren't consistent in their arguments for why they do what they do as they evaluate teams 1-6 (rewarding one team for something that they completely ignore in another team).

I am not changing your mind.
You can have the last word arguing or agreeing with the above. But history shows me that the above is obvious. Point 1 is near factual. Point 2 is just pathetic and frustrating as a college football fan.

When were they not consistent? We may not like who they choose, but don’t they pick the same way every time?
