Did the new rankings (especially TCU) square with your assessment?
FSU will really take a dive if Ga. Tech can beat them
GT has the offense to do it, and the defense is improving.
But if Baylor beats Kansas State, they win the Conference, how can TCU jump Baylor, if Baylor beat them, and won the conference.
Go Frogs!
I actually prefer the 4 team playoff versus eight. It makes the entire season important for every team. Every weekend this fall has been packed with do or die games. Seasons are constantly on the line. With 8 teams, The importance of most regular-season games would be much less because two or three losses wouldn’t affect qualification for the postseason.
I can’t think of a year ever where there were more than two or maybe three teams with a legitimate argument to be national champion, even before the BCS. Most years maybe two teams have a legitimate argument. The four team playoff has maintained the value of the full season and will finally sort out the best team. The BCS still left out some teams who had a legitimate argument to be number one or two. No fifth-ranked team has ever been in the same league as the top one or two.
That said, this committee voting is goofy and I need to go back to the computer is ranking like the BCS had. This week two-week process as the potential to ruin what should be a good thing.
I’m fine with it.
BTW. I’m a huge Bama fan. If they don’t beat Missouri then they don’t deserve a playoff spot. Things generally work out. Shoot. One bad game by Missouri(Indiana) and they’d be right in the thick of the playoff. But that’s what’s so tough about College Football as opposed to the NFL. 9-6 gets you in the playoffs in NFL. 8-3 gets you nothing in College. And that’s the way it should be. And that’s why I love College ball. Every game counts.
