The teams that they beat have to matter. Not just the number of win

They played a big 10 schedule what else were they supposed to do?

Bring back the BCS rankings and call them the BPS rankings. Remove the committee. The BCS was pretty accurate from what I remember.

You realize schedules are made years in advance right. FSU TAM USC and sometime Louisville are perennial top 25 teams . FSU and USCW just happen to be in a down cycle. Army and Navy were both top 25 when ND played them. GT was also decent. Throw in IU. You can only play your schedule and ND beat em all by like an average of 30 points. You’re gonna keep ND out because of that? Come on

ND was tied with an 8-4 SEC team in 4th Q, and that was the 1st game of the season (i.e. not after ND had played a hard schedule and having injuries when most people played A&M). They then proceeded to lose to a MAC team…and not just any MAC team, one with 5 losses!!! No, they didn’t beat them all by an average of 30 points. ND is 8-4 at best with Bama, FL, UGA, or OK’s schedule…and SMU, Indiana, Boise and AZ st would be even worse

So no SEC teams have bad losses? Maybe you’re right maybe not. Let’s see how the SEC does in the playoffs to see if your thesis is correct. Hopefully they have your back. If not a lot of y’all gonna be eating crow well into the new year

Scheduling is too uneven to simply use # of losses as the primary metric, yet they still do.

Indiana QB was really bad when it mattered. That first interception at the ND 2 was inexcusable.

NIU would be a 2-10 or 3-9 team in the SEC. Not even KY or Arkansas was that bad. No, the SEC doesn’t have any losses worse than NDs.

So the last 2 decades of absolute domination doesn’t mean anything, gotcha. Let’s judge it based on a year where the best SEC team just lost their starting QB, the “2nd best” team is a newcomer that beat nobody and had the softest SEC schedule in years, and the CFP committee sent the 3rd best SEC team on the road to OSU in a travesty of seeding (and I hate UT). Good call…I’m sure we can judge based on this year’s results, while ignoring all the evidence of the past and that most blue chip recruits or NFL draft picks play in the SEC. You’d fit right in on the CFP committee…congrats, I guess.

Schools will have to schedule more difficult ooc games. The committee is going to have to reward it by not just looking at records and take a 2 or 3 loss team that played a difficult ooc schedule.
Until it happens and is stated by the committee why would a school willingly do it?

Like someone said it’s an invitational right now, the 12 best teams are not in. Evident last night and will be evident again today. Don’t leave it up to human error. Bring back some sort of formula like the BCS that calculates the most deserving 12 teams based on various metrics.

You are 100% correct. They would have to state it immediately after the end of this season so teams could make adjustments to their schedules.

You have to reward teams based on SOS and Quality wins vs # of wins vs horseshite competition. It’s not hard.

You are right. The original BCS that heavily relied on computer models did do a good job. But in 2003 there was a huge uproar about USC getting left out, and many thought relying on computers was “stupid” because the “eye test” is so important. So that got scrapped for human polls once again
And not for nothing, but the human “eye test” metric is what put Alabama in over Florida State last year after their starting QB got hurt. The original BCS model would have favored FSU. But most media pundits who are complaining this year and obviously Alabama fans thought the humans got it “right” last year. Funny how that works

The real imposter was Indiana not SMU. They had everyone fooled on the committee.
