Both of these teams are bad and I feel so sorry for the NFL franchise that's stupid enough to draft Justin Herbert in the first round.

Hopefully the last TD UO scored was enough to drop Utah behind us.

Won't happen. The committee made up their mind, we aren't getting in to a NY6 game. This was obvious the moment they kept Michigan over us. They are using a degenerate head-to-head method of evaluating teams.

Utah is not that good, never was, and never should’ve been ranked that high. If anything this egg should be in the committees face for having them at 5 when they clearly aren’t the 5th best team. What a joke

I mean why is the committee so fucking stupid? At the end of the day, that is the question that needs answering and someone should hold them accountable. They all make a hell of a lot more money than any of us yet they can't or choose not to see the obvious.

Anybody who thought Utah was the 5th best team in all of college football is flat out just fucking stupid.

Agreed, it can’t be the eye test and it can’t be resume. It was a 1 loss PAC 12 team is all.

So you think the Colts should go with the QB from Utah State over Herbert? I don't know but was hoping more for Herbert, but maybe I'm wrong. Tua I don't think gets past the Dolphins.

I’m not thinking NY6. I’ve moved on from that. I just want a final ranking in the top ten simply for recruiting purposes.

Where the hell were they in '93?

It's stupidity. Nothing more, nothing less. Their credibility and everything to do with reputation is garbage. The arrogance makes me want to grab someone by the throat.

The question now that we've diagnosed the root issue is, why are they not being held accountable? I know if I was making stupid idiotic decisions my job would be in jeopardy. I wonder if (who) is going to ask the real question and it'll probably piss me off even more hearing them back peddle from it. Who in the fuck thought Utah (most recent example) was good and why do you still have a job?

The disrespect Dabo's group too is is comical to me. Yes, both LSU and OSU have looked really good this year, understood. But let's not loose sight of who the champs 2 of the last 3 years are. They are the king of the mountain until someone proves otherwise, IMO anyways.

Seriously!

This is the only group of "pollsters" or whatever you want to call them that I can ever remember approaching rankings this way. You're way better off losing to a bad team (a la Georgia) than a good team given how they've approached things. Like I firmly believe that if you replaced Michigan with some nonsense team like Purdue.. and ND lost to Purdue instead... that ND would be right around 12th in the current ranking. Makes no sense.

Simply can't rationalize with stupidity. Try all we want until we're blue in the face but it will never happen. There is always a defensive excuse and never a "you know what, I fucked up. Sorry.". That'd be called accountability and would take a set of balls, unfortunately we're talking about the committee here. Egos are way to big in that small room for any of that. And reporters are too PC to ask the right question. Like literally - "who in the fuck in this room really believed that Utah was good?"...explain yourself.

We'd be 11-1 with a good shot at the playoffs if it would have been MSU's turn on the schedule opposed to scUM or GA. That is a roll of the dice though the way we schedule and point being is it really doesn't do us much good playing good teams the way this committee ranks. Especially when it's home and home and every program is going to put us under the lights at night on a National stage. ND is special that way, like it or not, haters.

We can schedule our way into the playoffs every year if we really wanted to. But who wants to be a pussy like that?

Condalisa Rice and TY WILLINGHAM (Ty fucking Willingham!!!) were committee members. Enough said, mike dropped.
