The most interesting thing not one team remained in the same spot as they were last week.

The most interesting thing not one team remained in the same spot as they were last week.

That's one thing that I do like about the committee's rankings...they're fluid. With a lot of the other polls, once you get to the top, as long as you don't lose, you won't drop. That's insane, in my opinion.

Conference Breakdown:

Big Ten-6 (3 in top 10)

SEC-5- (3 in top 10) {all 5 in top 12}

Big 12-5

American-3

Pac 12-2

ACC-1

Mountain West-1

Independent-1

Sun Belt-1

We need more consistency not week to week but year to year. I love the fluidity week to week, but when a bad loss matters one year but doesn’t the next is what gets me. How is Georgia who’s deficient on one side of the ball with a bad loss at home to a team that won’t make a bowl game at 4 when last year Ohio State entered the ranking at 10 because of the bad loss and being deficient one side of the ball. Using the committees criteria from last year Bama, Oregon, Utah, Minnesota, and Penn State should be ahead of Georgia. Call me out on my “anti-SEC/ pro Ohio State bias” all you want, but the lack of transparency from the committee is garbage and all fans of college football should demand more. I’m fine with 4 teams, I’m fine with humans making these decisions. I’m not cool with the inconsistency and neither should any fan of the sport. We have stats out there that can actually define eye test now. Use them. You can’t sit up there and talk about resume, SOS, top 25 wins, etc. and then put Minnesota at 8 behind 4 1 loss teams. I’m tired of the eye test being used as a get out of jail free card for the committee. Tell us what eye test means to you, because we as fans all have varying degrees of what eye test means and how much we weigh it in our opinions. You’re the 13 most powerful people in the sport of college football, we deserve to know what it means to you.

Georgia vs. Oregon for the 4 seed?

You all keep forgetting you just didn't lose to an average team. You all got curb stomped by an average team two years in a row. As I have kept trying to tell you all that is the difference. You see top teams sometime get upset by teams they have no business losing to. However, usually when a top team loses one of those games it was a close game that came down to almost the last play. In Ohio States case it was impossible to even consider them a top team when they get destroyed by a team that barely was .500

Quite honestly if OSU doesn't get curb stomped by bad teams the last 2 years and just simply lost close games to those teams. There is a good chance they would have made the playoff one if not both of the last 2 years.

Georgia vs. Oregon for the 4 seed?

Not really. For Georgia it is simple they won out and win the SEC Championship they are in. If they lose even one more game they are out.

Georgia winning the SEC would be worse case scenario for teams trying to make it. As long as LSU is undefeated going into the SEC Championship they will be in win or lose. If Georgia were to win it, LSU would still be in and Georgia would be too.

On the road vs at home. You think we were losing to Purdue or Iowa at home?

Let’s say LSU beats Georgia, Alabama vs. Oregon?

It is simple man you never see teams that are suppose to be one of the top 5 teams get blown out by bad to average teams on the road or at home. It simply does not happen man. That's why what happened to OSU the last 2 years was so shocking. You don't see teams that are suppose to be one of the best get beat down by bad teams. In the history of college football you see top teams get upset by teams, but usually they are close game decided at the very end and or even last play of games.

If OSU simply loses in a tight close game the last 2 years. They would have been treated much differently. How they lost did matter and it should have mattered.

Also Purdue and Iowa were no where near as bad as this South Carolina team is. Both those teams at least made bowl games.

For me personally I would have Oklahoma in over Oregon. However, the way it is set up currently. It looks like it basically is Oregons spot to lose if Georgia can not win the SEC.

Also Purdue and Iowa were no where near as bad as this South Carolina team is. Both those teams at least made bowl games.

South Carolina is bad. However, once again in the history of college football we have seen teams get upset by teams they had no business losing too. Yet in all cases they were close games that came down to the very end. What you really never seen in college football is a team that is trying to claim to be one of the best go on and get blown out by teams that barely were bowl eligible. It is one thing to lose, it is a whole other story to get blown out like they did.

I understand this. I’m saying a bad loss AT HOME is equally as bad a blowout loss on the road. Ohio State was ranked 10th last year after the loss. 2 years ago the committee liked us and had us at 5th despite 2 losses. How does that happen? OSU is just the most obvious case of where the committee has been inconsistent both for and against. I just want some damn transparency. I don’t see how anyone in their right mind can see that Georgia lost at home to a team destined to not make a bowl and have them at 4. Nothing the committee has done in the past has shown that to be a normal practice. I was shocked that Bama wasn’t at 4. I would have put Oregon there but, I have no issues with Bama at 4 now. Georgia is going to lose to Auburn this week anyways, but it’s still just another case in a long line of inconsistency with the criteria the committee uses year to year.
