CFP Top 25

Every 1 loss team is better than LSU? So 1 loss Ole Miss is better than LSU despite losing to them 2 weeks ago? Yeah……That logic makes perfect sense……..

Please explain to me what in their body of work warrants even a place in the top 15, let alone the top 10. It's pretty obvious why they are exactly in the spot the Committee put them in. And it's the same reason 3-loss Texas is also in the top 25.

Exactly. Bama gets a top 10 win notch in their belts if they win, LSU keeps the $EC filling up top 10 spots if they do.

And for that reason, and that reason alone, I will cheer for Brian Kelly this week. Because öööö the Committee, and öööö Nick Saban.

But if LSU wins wouldnt that validate the committee's opinion of them?

Exactly.. that's how they are manipulating it with all these SEC teams... if LSU wins, they move up and eat up a top spot... I for one hope Bama does win just to push LSU back down where they belong, and if UGAg wins the east, Bama is the team from the west I want them to have to play... also, if the west starts beating up on themselves and a 2 or even 3 loss team goes to the SEC championship game, then that almost guarantees UGA and Tennessee both make it if they win out no matter who wins Saturday. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Back to the LSU bullcrap... they weren't even in the AP top 25 until they beat Ole Miss and jumped straight in at 18 last week, passing 3 one-loss teams. Then, in an idle week they moved up 3 more spots to 15 for this week.

I'm a UT fan too, but I'm not "SEC SEC" guy. Anyone can objectively see there is a clear bias. 2-loss LSU got blasted by the Vols and lost to fsu, both games in the state of Louisiana. Using the CFP logic why isn't UNC number 10? They only have 1 loss, of course they got blasted by the irish at home so they look to be equals right?

That FSU game could have easily gone to LSU, i would not under-estimate a Brian Kelly team when he gets his foot on the ground at LSU

LSU has beaten MSU, UF and #11 Ole Miss.

#11 Ole Miss has 1 win vs anyone with a pulse in 5-3 UK. They also lost to LSU 2 weeks ago.
#12 UCLA has a win over Washington and #14 Utah who lost to UF.
#13 KSU (with 2 losses) may have the argument over all 3 based on schedule to date. They lost to #19 Tulane and #7 TCU, but beat now #18 Oklahoma State 48-0 last week.

And the complaint about 5-3 Texas getting ranked is baffling. Had they followed the Coaches Poll and had 5-3 UK ranked, you‘d be complaining about that too.

No one outside of the current Top 14 or so has any glimmer of hope of making the CFP. So why does it bother you who’s ranked #20-25 etc? It’s going to change weekly anyway.

So after all this whining about the SEC perceived bias, who from what other conferences do you think would beat UTjr, UGA, Bama, LSU, Ole Miss head to head?

The B1G is top heavy with tOSU and Michigan. Followed by Illinois and PSU. Outside of tOSU, who would beat those 5 teams? Michigan is good, but not as good as last year, especially along the DL. No one thinks Illinois or PSU could beat them.

P12 has Oregon, USC, Utah, UCLA and Oregon State. This group I think would have a much better shot to win a few games against the SEC vs what the B1G currently has.

B12 has TCU, KSU, OSU, Texas. I think TCU and Texas could play LSU and Ole Miss head to head, and obviously Texas already did with Bama. I just don’t think the others could hang. KSU especially is onto the backup QB.

ACC has Clemson, UNC, Syracuse, Wake, NCSU and FSU. FSU beat LSU, so there’s that. Outside of Clemson, I don’t give anyone much of a shot. Wake and UNC live and die by the O. Wake proved that last week getting throttled by Louisville. UNC has been living on the edge against lesser opponents all year, and was handled by a middling ND team. Syracuse plays really good defense, but has come back down the last 2 weeks.

UTjr? Where is Texas ranked? I didn't see them with any chance to compete for the top 4?

Unless you are confused. Tennessee is certainly not a junior to Texas. The college in Knoxville is older than the actual state of Texas much less the college in austin.

First off, UT and Bama were pretty evenly matched, we'll see how UGAg stacks up this weekend. Texas took Bama to the wire with a backup QB and they are not world beaters. FSU beat LSU. I've said it all along, Ole Miss had a ridiculously easy schedule early in the year that set them up for an undefeated run before they got into the meat of the schedule. I don't believe they are as good as folks think. Here's their "magical" 7-0 run to start the season: Troy, Central Arkansas, GT, Tulsa, Kentucky, Vandy, Auburn. They barely beat Kentucky who also had a good record at the time due to an easy front-half schedule. Auburn is trash. A&M is trash. LSU could very well beat Bama this week because it's a night game in Baton Rouge and Bama hasn't looked dominant. In that case I think the top 3-4 teams in every conference can play with the teams you listed, yet 4 of those are in the top 10 and the other is 11th.

Spot on
 
Best win of the year was NOT Vols beating Bama at home because the Bama kicker missed a very makeable late FG attempt. Maybe the best or most enjoyable game of the year. But not the best win.

Best win of the year was a 49-3 absolute curb stomping of the eighth ranked and otherwise undefeated Ducks. Who have won all their other games, and all but one of those by 15 points or more. Including previously undefeated UCLA. Now I don't like saying this. But . . . I live in Realville.

Your "logic" does not apply to college football and never has. Which is also how USC is ranked so much higher than Utah, despite having lost to Utah (and having been outgained and outplayed by Utah) just a couple of weeks ago.

Hopefully soon the best win of the season will be the gaggers going down at home this weekend.

This statement, while completely true and factually correct, didn't need to be made. Because öööö Georgia.
