Public Apology to JabbaNoBargain (From Original Post of CFB Playoff Committee to HOSE Oregon?)
Agree. Basketball has it figured out and they should follow that model. However; so far, not so good. The current bracket looks like it was formed on current record and has little to do with SOR, SOS, or type of loss. It's unfortunate, because I feel like there was an opportunity to elevate SOR as a key metric to reward OOC scheduling, but it looks like they did the opposite. If I was an AD in the SEC or BIG, I would schedule all cupcakes for OOC games. How do you have a team that has 2 Top 10 wins, another Top 20 win, and 2 top 10 losses above a team that has ZERO Top 25 wins and only 1 win against a team with a 0.500 or better record? The committee should be embarrassed right now.

4 Star QB Dumps USC, He's Going to Colorado
He will probably just take him along to FSU next year.

4 Star QB Dumps USC, He's Going to Colorado
One of my biggest joys in life right now is watching USC circling the drain. What a great year.

What if Indiana Beats Ohio State?
This could be the most ridiculous article I have read this entire year. So bench your starting QB, get blown out, then take you chances on getting into the playoff with no wins against ranked opponents? Joey is bonkers. Joey Galloway: Indiana should bench QB Kurtis Rourke vs Ohio State to maintain CFP path WWW.USATODAY.COM ESPN's Joey Galloway on Tuesday said Indiana football shouldn't play quarterback Kurtis Rourke vs. Ohio State to keep its...

What if Indiana Beats Ohio State?
I could see Indiana getting up to No.2 if they pull off the upset and beat tOSU soundly. The Ducks are safe at No.1 for another week with wins against 3 teams in the Playoff Top 25.

CFP Rankings
They need to get rid of the conference winner byes and just give the top 4 teams the byes. You can still get an autobid if you win your conference. But there is no way the Big-12 or ACC should be getting a bye this year.

CFP Rankings
Andy and Ari on their podcast tonight are half joking around that tOSU and Oregon should both try and lose on purpose in the CCG to get the 5 Seed.

Who Are These People?
If Texas loses again, they should be the team that gets left out of this group. SEC needs to schedule 9 conference games and all BIG and SEC teams should only be allowed to play on G5 team a year max.
-
Who Are These People?
Agree 💯. If they even slightly valued or considered any portion of SOS, Georgia would not be behind Texas, Indiana, or Notre Dame.
-
Who Are These People?
The question is how does that continue to happen? They have not won a major bowl game in 30 years. Every time they get into a big time post season game, they get run off the field like a bad G5 school.

Can the Ducks Peak? How Many Losses for Oregon in the SEC?
Agree for sure now with the 12 team playoff. I was referring to the 2-4 team playoff. There were a lot of years that the SEC got 2 teams in because of the reduction in conference games and skewed rankings. If you get two teams in that are competitive at an elite level, I would argue that your chances of winning the title go way up in a 4 team playoff. They even got two teams (one with 2 losses) in the 2 team playoff. There were a lot of good teams that got left out because of that 8 game SEC schedule or ND’s G5 schedule with no CCG that could have won it all. Oregon in 2012 immediately comes to mind.

100%. This year it is entirely possible that the 5 seed is goi g to get Boise followed by Colorado.

Can the Ducks Peak? How Many Losses for Oregon in the SEC?
And this exact reason (8 conference games) is why the SEC has ended up with 11 teams in the playoff since expanding to 4. While the next best conference (BIG) only has 7 appearances. The more teams you put in the playoffs, the better the chances.
-
Who Are These People?
Exactly this. There is no excuse for not having some kind of metric to measure these teams at this point. Applying the basketball criteria… Notre Dame has a Q4 loss. Texas has one Q2 win, maybe. How are either of these teams in front of Georgia, who has multiple Q1 wins and and two Q1 losses? It’s a joke. Even just applying common sense to this. If playing on a neutral field, would Georgia be an underdog to ND? Absolutley not! They would be a multiple score favorite to win that game.

Can the Ducks Peak? How Many Losses for Oregon in the SEC?
Great article. In most cases, I would agree that Oregon would would probably not be undefeated in the SEC. However, if they had the same schedule as Texas, they would easily run the table. Difficult to know who is really good with these unbalanced schedules.

Public Apology to JabbaNoBargain (From Original Post of CFB Playoff Committee to HOSE Oregon?)
I’m with you here. If tOSU loses to Oregon again, then I think the committee will push the second place SEC into the 5 seed slot. Both will likely have 2 losses and by pushing tOSU to the 6 seed, you can avoid the third matchup in the semis. Where this gets interesting is if Oregon loses a very close game to tOSU. Then the committee almost has to put Oregon at the 5 seed and you have that matchup in the semis again. The 5 seed right now looks to be the easiest path to the semis if they get Boise then the Big-12 winner. It may even have a small advantage over the 1 seed which seems crazy.

Colorado is Going to Win the Big 12
Whichever team gets the 5 seed is going to walk into the semifinals. They will likely have Boise at home in the first round, then the BIG-12 champ in the second.

Re-Ranking the Committee's Week 11 Poll Using Strength of Record.
I will counter with the fact that ND essentially plays 4 G5 teams. Texas IMO is the biggest offender. They have only beat 1 conference team with a winning record and they got pounded by Georgia. How are they sitting at No. 3? Where I have an issue is with the thought process that Indiana is out of they lose to tOSU, but Texas can be No. 3 with essentially the same crap schedule as Indiana AND with a loss to the only ranked team they played.

Re-Ranking the Committee's Week 11 Poll Using Strength of Record.
There are so many issues, I am not even sure where to start; Unbalanced schedules, subjective SOS rankings, different number of conference games, etc. I still can't understand why we don't have a NET ranking like hoops. If you lose to Northern Illinois (Q4) that should have a significant impact on your chances. Also, a team like Texas that has only one conference win against a team with a winning record (Vandy) should be reflected in the rankings. Schedule should matter.

Mens Basketball Stumble, But Rally to Win in OT Over Portland, 80-70
Seems like every year Oregon has some terrible Quad 4 loss in November or early December that impacts the bubble. Glad they escaped this one with a win.
