Do you think Florida is a better team than Bama this year?
So rankings overall is bs by that logic.At the time is bs
Honestly, I don't think they're much better than us. We both beat the same teams so far.Do you think Florida is a better team than Bama this year?

So a team like auburn who was top 10 first few weeks we should continue to say well they were 6 when so and so beat them.
Get real

You have no running game. Your qb play is weak/weakened and most of the pressure is on one receiver. Your defense is a wash against Bama.
Derrick (whoops) Henry alone makes them the better team. Your offense is just so mediocre so far.
You're a good team, but I think Alabama wins at least 7/10 times.
Things change with time we know this, it still counts for something. Ohio state lost to am unranked Virginia Tech and still managed to get in somehow when one could argue it should've been Baylor of TCU.So a team like auburn who was top 19 first few weeks we should continue to say well they were 6 when so and so beat them.

Your defense is a wash against Bama. Meaning your defenses cancel each other out, no advantage either way.

I keep seeing OU propped up as possible 2015 Ohio State. OU lost to Texas! Shutout by Iowa State, Texas. Baylor is the team in the Big12 with the defensive losses to TCU
If OU wins out I don't think they get in, but I DO think they have a really good chance to win out as they are just a way more balanced team than Baylor or TCU and have looked stronger than both coming off their loss to Texas.
So:
Win out and get in. That's nice. Hope it happens.
Also, seems like someone recognizes the SOS factor, as well as the fluky loss to Ole Miss (not even getting to the turnovers and bad ref'ing, just the UGA/AU-esque bounce pass touchdown is a difference between winning and losing). Things like that apparently matter, looking at Michigan State (Michigan snatched defeat from the jaws of victory). TCU/Baylor ruined by OOC games.
Florida also has 0 quality OOC games played so far, played a Chubb'less (and wrecked) UGA, Arkansas and A&M are better than Kentucky and Missouri.
Can't be said enough, shit will get sorted this weekend. Alabama loses, and they're out for this year, period. They beat LSU, and then your whole statement is wrecked.

It's true, but it also doesn't really matter given the game this weekend.As of this moment there is no position that a reasonable person who is not a homer can defend that has Bama ranked 4th. It's beyond absurd.

Yeah, the committee has the freedom to put out unconventional rankings like this since it'll more than likely sort itself out with the marquee games.
Best I could tell, figure the team that could be #4 is, ugh...ND.
Baylor and TCU have played No One. Once one of them clears Okie State, Oklahoma, and each other, then they have a chance to sneak in.
The Danger Zone is what happens if Alabama beats LSU, and both teams win out...

It would be the most sec sec sec thing ever if a team that didn't win its own division got in when Baylor won their conference last year and got snubbed.
They can win out. But I don't see them going if they don't go to their conference championship game.Best I could tell, figure the team that could be #4 is, ugh...ND.

Obviously the rankings will change in a week.
With that in mind, it's a pretty transparent and pathetic way to hype an upcoming game by ranking a team higher than they should be ranked.

Why would the committee care about that?

I said as much on another board that's melting down at the Overwhelming slap in the face Florida got.
Is GAF so lacking in comprehension that they don't see the committee setting up upcoming games that will destroy their own polls, EXACTLY like last year?

Clempon ranked at number 1 just in time to Clempson!
Go home bucknuts, you're drunker than your qb.
Time to fall flat on our faces. What a time to be alive!
Between this and that huge spread that got put out, I think we're being set up
FOR THE TITLE OF WORLD CHAMPIONS
I'm thinking about doubling up on the ole beta blocker come Saturday. This one might kill me.

College Football Playoff Committee chairman Jeff Long said Baylor and TCU were among the toughest teams to evaluate simply because of their strength of schedule.
SoS (so far):
36. TCU
47. tOSU
54. Baylor

One of those three gets the benefit of the doubt because it won the national title. The defending champ always get the benefit of the doubt until they start losing. That's just the nature of college football rankings. It's the same reason Florida State was ranked so highly despite looking like shit the year after they won.

I don't know that I agree with Bama being at 4 right now, but that has nothing to do with the fluky Ole Miss loss and everything to do with eye test.

You realize we're talking about the committee that at one point shoved them all the way down to #4 behind 3 1-loss teams right?

That TCU/OSU have comparable schedules up to now? Wont find an argument from me. OSUs by season end will be way better than TCUs with Michigan/MSU/and potentially undefeated iowa team
