I quite agree with your assessment, though I always hold to the caveat, on any given game day, even the underdog can win. It’s often due to things that happen on the field, like injuries, or really horrible weather. Sometimes the referees.
Should the committee take into account FSU injuries and weaker schedule, IOWs at the end of the season, they are not as strong as they were earlier?
Washington beat some pretty tough teams. You could argue them being No. 1 and Michigan 2.
Texas, Bama, Georgia, FSU. I think of the four Bama is the strongest RIGHT NOW, Texas a close second.
Bama has had problems win the kicking dept. this year it’s solid. I think they have one of their best teams. Milrose is looking more and more like Hurts, their QB now with the Philies.
