CFP Rankings

I don't understand how Ped state is ranked 6th with 0 top 25 wins.

Way over ranked
Who at 7-8-9-10 goes ahead of them? Indiana? BYU? Tennessee? Notre Dame?

Who?

I would only consider Tennessee.
 
LOL@ BYU over ND in the top 10

I see the playoff committee is still putting waaaaaaaay tooooo much weight on W-L record and waaaaaaaay overvaluing the quality of competition in the ACC & BIG12

BYU has 2 top 25 wins and 0 losses

Ped state has 0 top 25 wins and 1 loss

You can't be serious.

It's name brand vs no brand
Losing in a super competitive manner against Ohio St. IMO outweighs beating SMU or Kansas St.

Why should Penn St. be penalized for losing to Ohio St.?

You’ll disagree. So be it.

But who did they beat? 0 top 25 wins.

That matter too. So the only thing you have for ped is they lost close.

Although OSU was the much better team throughout the game

If Penn St. played BYU, who would win?

If that's your criteria, I think ND could beat Penn State. Their offense has struggled even more than ours has. Both teams have good defenses.

And I think we'd also beat BYU. We have a talent advantage there.

Don't get Penn State at all 1 win over Illinois? There schedule is very weak maybe Minnesota upsets them but I can see them staying in the top 10 unless they steam roll everybody to me Indiana at one loss is better then a one loss Penn State.

Based on a blind resume right now, Indiana's is better than Penn State's IMO. Neither has a ranked win, but IU has beaten teams worse.

Yea Indiana has beat the crap out of everybody to bad Indiana and Penn State don't play. Imagine if PSU gets in after losing to Ohio State then Indiana beats Ohio State who then gets left out after beating Penn State.

All three, plus Oregon, would likely qualify in that case.

Colorado doesn’t deserve to be in front of Clemson. Both are 6-2.

Colorado lost 28-10 to 5-4 Nebraska and by 3 to 7-2 Kansas State. Nebraska just lost to 3-5 UCLA.

Clemson lost 34-3 to 7-1 Georgia and 33-21 to 6-3 Louisville. Louisville’s losses are all to top 13 teams.

ND at #10 is fair.

W-L record is an antiquated way to evaluate the quality of teams. There are simply way too varying quality of opponents to not consider the difficulty of opponents in a sport with 130+ teams and in a sport with luck/variance playing way too big a role in a season with only 12 games/tiny sample size.

Who cares what their record is .. what is their F+ ranking/rating (that adjusts for opponent quality and for luck?)

I've written a book on this topic .. how is this not common knowledge around this forum yet?

This is simply Deion hate and Dabo loving.
 
Golson refers to this as name brand over no brand.
That doesn’t seem to answer the question.

Why would you put Colorado over Clemson?

Why do you dismiss my brief analysis by assuming it’s just Deion hate and Dabo love?

Clemson has defeated no one in the top 25. Neither has Colorado.

All of your transitive stuff IMO is irrelevant.

How the hell else do you separate the two? The AP agrees with me.

It’s garbage that you dismiss my opinion with Deion hate. Stupid.

Penn State never looked like it was going to beat Ohio State, therefore, the game was not competitive, much less, super-competitive..,oh-my-gawd....

You can’t. You don’t.

Pointing to transitive scores is foolhardy IMO.

And it’s garbage that you dismiss my opinion.

I have no problem with the committee placing Colorado over Clemson. And I wouldn’t care if Clemson was over Colorado.

Some posters simply like to pile on Deion.

So 12-0 Oregon is the same thing as 12-0 BYU or 12-0 Army in your world? You’d have no idea how to rank those teams?

I didn’t dismiss anything you said. You’re the one who jumped to the conclusion that I was favoring Dabo over Deion with no evidence.

You’re the one saying in other threads that Army has beaten no one to be in the top 25.

You’re a hypocrite. Then you try to turn it around me. Pathetic.

Who cares if the AP agrees with you? The only poll that matters is the Playoff committee poll. That’s it. Everything else is worthless.

And the Committee disagrees with your opinion.

Common sense.
