    Re-Ranking the Committee's Week 11 Poll Using Strength of Record.

    I'll disagree about the schedule strength. Notre Dame has played 6 teams with winning records, A & M, NIU, Miami of Ohio, Louisville, Ga. Tech & Navy. Indiana has played 1, Nebraska.

    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.

    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.

    Is the Committe's Sole Criteria to Make Sure an SEC Team with 3 Losses Get's into the Playoffs?

    Notre Dame with 12-game no champ game schedule screws things up. Play 4 G5 teams? No problem. Half-ACC'd and miss Clemson, Pitt, Miami, and SMU, no problem.

    The fact that ND is going to get in with their schedule is a crime.  Throw in the fact that they have not won a major bowl game since the mid 90s, they should automatically be out for losing to Northern Illinois. 
     

    I would be okay with a 3 loss SEC getting in ahead of ND.  ND is going to get rolled, just like every year.

    Can Oregon Clinch a BIG CCC Spot Next Weekend?

    If Oregon wins next week vs Wisconsin, does that mean they have clinched a spot in the CCC? 
     

    If Oregon loses one of the next two games, I think they are still in:

     

    1) Head to head tiebreaker vs. tOSU 

     

    2) Tiebreaker rule 3 with Penn State.  Both would have 1 loss, but Oregon would have beat the higher ranked tOSU.  
     

    3) The result of tOSU / Indiana wouldn’t matter, it would just determine who Oregon would play.  
     

    Is this correct?

    I saw a little bit of his post-game presser. He alluded to the fact that Miami wasn’t physical enough up front to overcome GT’s schemes. That tells me everything I need to know. Instead of countering their schemes with good coaching he just expected them to fight through it. That’s so Mario.

    Great post. He doesn’t any play to strengths or weaknesses.  He just wants to run everyone over.

    Every single year he loses to unranked teams while having arguably the best roster in his conference.  IIRC, he lost to 6 unranked teams in 3 years at Oregon.  
     

    They will probably still make the playoffs, but I don’t see them getting too far with his coaching. 
     

    Side note - Lanning is now 23-0 vs unranked teams.
