College Football 2024: Hail to THE Buckeyes

Aren’t they just using whatever definition of “best” they feel like, not necessarily to mean highest power rating or whatever?

Imagine they put in 9-3 bama over Indiana and 9-3 South Carolina over 10-2 SMU

at that point 9-3 ole miss over 11-2 Penn state (because ole miss would be favored by 1.5 on a neutral field)

It’s just dumb

i’m fine with it being the most deserving teams. have the committee just say that. don’t gaslight people that it’s “best teams”.

Milestone day today - after living here for 15 years, I’m going to my first Ohio State football game. Gonna be cold as hell, but should be fun.

This is the dumbest argument. Who cares if you’re in a “real division” if you are only playing the worst teams in the division (or almost only). This argument only had any validity when the top conferences had 10-12 teams.

Also this just leads to every team in a real division just scheduling as weak a schedule as possible as the upside is minimal and the downside of a loss huge.

You want 11 wins to be a lock, don’t schedule 3 complete shit non-conference games. I will at least give teams a semi-pass if they schedule good teams that have a down year, but Indiana schedule three complete crap teams.

It’s all bullshit. I just want max chaos. Indiana didn’t do it. Let’s go SMU.

The only chaos will be brought by Tenessee

James Franklin though

11-1 is a lock and it will be a lock going forward

There is no metric other than having 8 sec teams every playoff. If you go 11-1 there aren’t going to be 12 teams in ahead of you

Yeah their best metric seems to be sort by poll, which is close enough to who has had the best season to me to be OK

Two pick sixes by smu qb. So long ponies

That’s one of the worst INT throws I’ve ever seen

as I said in the real playoff games today… South Dakota State North Dakota State is tied at 14 at the half

SMU’s QB threw the game away, rough.
