Against what schedules. PSU had a tougher strength of schedule. You also thought Army and Navy were going to be competitive games. stats are meaningless. Stats don't mean sh1t. what matters is win loss vs your schedule, who you played (SoS), head to head, results over common opponents without incented margin of victory. This is the criteria, show me where the CFP states they include all those stats you posted.
Wrong. Stats do matter. ND, since NIU, has taken care of business on the field in a demonstrative way. They have stomped the teams they are supposed to stomp (much like OSU game plan for last 15 years).
If you are trying to say that Stats don’t matter as much as SOS, then we agree. SOS is a strong component…but news flash…they use stats beyond the W/L records to actually calculate the SOS. So it’s part of the review.
You keep reciting the “criteria” as though the committee will NOW actually restrict themselves ONLY to such. They have demonstrated that is not true. They still talk about “eye test”….and if they had restricted themselves to criteria, then FSU would have been in the championship game last year.
Also, I dont believe for one second that these humans can not compare, to some degree, the common opponent margin of victory. That is a blurry picture for sure.
PSU schedule is ever so slighter better than ND…because of playing OSU…but having watched 7 complete games of theirs, including USC, UCLA, Illinois and Wisky…I agree with you that we are better
