Love to hear the committee’s logic on how Alabama dropped seven spots for losing by three on the road against a top 12 team yet Michigan dropped just one spot despite losing by 29 at home. Looks like a rig job to make Ohio State’s win over Michigan look better & justify tanking.
And don’t even get me started on Wisconsin at 8.
It feels like some members of the committee are trying to keep Ohio State’s resume strong — by artificially inflating Michigan and Wisconsin’s rankings — to avoid LSU overtaking Buckeyes at number one with a win over Georgia.
I feel like margin of defeat is not getting factored in at all. If you get obliterated by someone, it needs to be significant. All losses aren’t equal.
Alabama, Auburn and Florida would all be touchdown or more favorites over Wisconsin. Bama would be a 14 point favorite over Badgers. Florida clearly has a vastly superior resume to Badgers. Yet all are ranked below Wisconsin. Why? Committee rig job for Ohio State.
Final thought: how in the world can the committee have Penn State at ten, which is EIGHT SPOTS above Minnesota, a team with the same record that they lost to head-to-head? Simple, Penn State is artificially inflated to bolster the resume of Ohio State.
One of the real dangers of the committee is their rankings can be padded to artificially justify whatever result they wish to reach. Look at Oklahoma State, for instance, at 24. Voila, OU just added a top 25 win. Which will he cited in OU vs Utah. Committee members can rig system
