I think they knew they could say "Bama won a rivalry game AT Jordan Hare, that's a big result and ND/Bama were already close, so Bama got the nod" PLUS the A&M loss (which incredibly they didn't mention even though it was low hanging fruit) They really just want to protect Alabama, especially...

This is what I'm sort of talking myself into now - moving Bama was to make sure they could flip us back if Bama loses and keep us both in, especially after the comments re: the Bama/ND comparison. And the "idle teams can move" comment was to preface us moving back up w/ a Bama loss. Maybe?

This is my hope too - and the movement among idle teams really just comes down to changes in SOS if their opponents win/lose and make their results look better/worse. So let's go Boise too!

I understand that, but it would be with no new evidence that we are suddenly no longer better than Miami. If the belief is Miami is better than us, just do it this week. To swap us when neither played will be insane. If the "pod" seeding is true, the current grouping is Bama - ND - BYU - Miami...

I'm still just stuck on, why not just jump Miami over us this week? Miami looked dominant against Pitt in a high stakes away game. Why wait until we're both idle? BYU was always win and in, so it doesn't matter their relative ranking. I just think waiting to make the swap when we're both idle...

And OU needing a miracle against LSU is going VERY under the radar

Someone else made a good point though - if losing that game drops BYU, would losing to UGA also drop Bama? Especially if the debate between our two teams was "as intense as any the committee has faced"?

Let's also not forget, any future playoff format is entirely of the B1G and SEC's making. This fuckery is just going to get more egregious in the future.

Ok so if it's that close, and Bama takes a big L to UGA, surely we'd jump them, right? Or will that comment just get buried when they lose next week and we end up on the outside looking in because "idle teams can move" meaning "Miami can jump ND"

This entire system needs to be blown up. We were always on the cusp this year because we lost games we shouldn't have, but the way this is going down is so outrageous

That doesn't make sense though - they're moving teams around already to ensure future results, not based on actual quality. If they knew no matter what that we wouldn't make it, they'd have jumped Miami ahead of us and BYU already - BYU is win and in so it doesn't matter if they're above/behind...

I disagree on the Miami bit - they had the ammo they needed to move them up this week with Miami's destruction of a common opponent in Pitt in a game that had real implications for both teams. They would have done it this week if they were going to do it. To do it when we're both idle would be...

So A&M really did fuck us over I guess

Wow well I'll eat my crow, I really didn't think that would happen. And there really is no explanation for that

All those fools saying "LOUISVILLE AND SMU ARE 8-4 THEY'RE NOT BAD!" 8-4 in the ACC is BAD. The current conf semi-finalist Duke lost to UCONN. The ACC is a joke

Yeah I mean, it's also 100% a product of the B1G being way too big. UM played 3 good teams and lost badly to all 3, and looked average against a lot of bad teams. They're frauds and shouldn't be considered a "good" win

.....Michigan? You're falling for the propaganda brother

I'd reconsider what their "good wins" are. Most of them are against overrated SEC teams like Mizzou and TN that have zero wins against P4 teams with winning records. The Bama win is just about the only actually good win they have. And their loss to TX was a blowout, and OM was at home later in...

Is this all stemming from UT's hemming and hawing? I've never seen anything lamer in my life - YOU LOST 3 GAMES, including one completely noncompetitively against UGA and one to a Billy Napier coached 4-8 UF team, and looked like ass against UK and Miss St. And rather than just say "wow, we...

Yeah middling is definitely an exaggeration - but they're not elite/the behemoths of years past. And the self-fulfilling prophecy of starting with half the top 25 being SEC teams -> all SEC teams taking "good" losses, and overblown wins needs to settle down
