Right there with you. Never in a million years did I think Cardale would ball out like this.
I was mostly talking about the top 6, but point taken anyway.
But still, it hasn't been since 2004 that the top 6 have all had 1 or fewer losses.

Mark May has questions he needs answered.
They didn't lose to 6-6 Virginia Tech at home by 14.
I would probably put Baylor over them, though.

We did beat the AAC champions too....

sooo, in the alternate universe where a Big XII CCG exists, and there's a playoff contender in either TCU/Baylor, is Ohio State still clearly the 4th team selected?

tOSU has a higher SOS than TCU and Baylor. Big 12 beat itself up like the SEC yo
Depends on what two teams the B12 invited and how they split up divisions.
Baylor/TCU would most likely be in the same div so they would have at least one clear champion.

eh, if I were tOSU I wouldn't even bring up non-conference. tOSU is undefeated conference champs. sell that
Big 12 needs to add like 4 teams and take off a conference game.
This isn't the bcs. The morons in the ap/harris/coaches aren't there to leave teams where they are just because they win. The committee has shown they will move teams around on a week to week basis and they will.

Is there a debate to be made for Oregon jumping bama back to 1?

I'm down. we'll get 12-13 bowl eligible teams every year
Fox Sports is predicting tOSU in the top 4. So I hope you're right man.
Yeah, but every other week means shit. Does the committee have the balls to move teams around THIS week is the question.
Quite possibly. Sims can be horrible when he's off.
Yeah, Arizona is a much better team than Mizzou, but the bigger debate is about team number 4.
I'm personally in the FSU should be number one camp but that's besides the point.
There is, but it's a meaningless one. The committee will jigger 3 and 4 to get the match-up they want.
BYU, UCF, Boise St., find a way to wiggle ND out of that ACC agreement/ Cincinnati(?)
They assumed FSU would lose and put them at 4 to justify excluding them. It's blown up in their faces now
Pretty sure I heard earlier it'd be Bama, FSU, Oregon, OSU, TCU, and then Baylor.

My own preference would be to see both TCU and Baylor make it (as I am a fan of both teams and hate Winston and Fisher).
That said, taking off the field stuff out of the picture, Florida State deserves a spot due to staying unbeaten, even against an mediocre opponents and keeping it close. They remind me of the Ohio State back in 2001 or 2002 that won nail-biter after nail-biter.
Beyond that, no one team did what was asked of them, and the other three chosen should be grateful they get an opportunity. Everyone had a chance and stumbled at one point or another.
Baylor and Ohio State lost to average teams, so I'm not sure what the big deal in keeping them out is. What is the point of playing a whole season if the committee only ranks based on performance the last couple of weeks?
That said, I would like to see Baylor get in since they're my favorite of the potential teams. Really wish Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State had lost.

Briles is a huuuge hypocrite for this.

The committee might very well drop TCU. I'd consider that highly illogical, and I like logic.
They can be fluid all season, but the committee has to know that next year, they absolutely must tip their hand in that last week. Their rankings the week of the championship games must be in order of likelihood to still be in the top 4 the following week with the assumption that everybody wins.

TCU fans live so close to the CFP meeting room, that a bunch of fans could storm the outside of the building with signs and posters in attempt to influence the committee.

But what about No. 9?
Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, Ohio State, TCU, Baylor, Michigan State, Mississippi State
everyone else can eat a dick for either not being in a P5 conference or having 3+ losses lol

yes. tv.
tv wants bama vs fsu. that game, if played in the south especially, would have enormous pull.
meanwhile oregon vs ohio state is a "traditional" Pac vs b1g matchup.
rankings will be:
1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. FSU
4. Ohio State
book it.
ND loves the deal they have with the ACC so they won't leave it, BYU is a nightmare due to their no playing on Sunday thing. Cincinnati/Memphis makes the most sense if you don't want to cause another WVU incident.

ESPN's "BCS guru" Brad Edwards said earlier in the week it would be Alabama at 1 and Florida State at 2, but also acknowledged that under the old system, the human polls would have likely never moved Florida State off that top line (particularly after everyone else lost), so in that alternate reality, it would be FSU 1 and Bama 2.
If either Alabama, Oregon, TCU or FSU lost this week, they wouldn't be in the top 4.
You're only as good as your last win.
I agree. It makes no sense to put TCU at 3 one week only to drop them the next week because they only played ISU. Well, you knew they were playing ISU when you put them at 3. What more do you want from them at that point?

I don't think anyone would nearly give as much of a fuck about fringe top 10 teams getting snubbed then potential top 5 teams though, which is what we have currentlyBut what about No. 9?
