It is a shame we lost to Bama. Conference Champ is a consideration. I don't think Washington , FSU, or Michigan could beat OLE Miss, LSU, or Missouri. If you go with best team Alabama and Ga. should be in.
OSU has no argument for making it in! Texas and Alabama are going to jump past them, and UGA will not fall past them. That will make them ranked 8th.
THe problem is where the teams are now today is not where they were weeks ago. BAMA has been getting progressively better. Texas while remaining a good team could not IMHO go into to Tuscaloosa and beat todays BAMA team. They caught them early in the season before MIlroe's development.
TOday's Fla St couldn't beat ORegon, Texas, UGA, BAMA, MIchigan, or Ohio St. So to put them in would not be the best 4 teams. IF you put BAMA at 4 then UGA looses to the number 4 team, not the number 8 team, by3 points. WHEn it definitely didn't play it's best game.
Texas lost to Oklahoma. Is that a better loss than #1 UGA losing to a now #4 BAMA by 3 points? NO!
WHy should a number 7 or 8 jump to number 4 and the number1 drop to 5? It doesn't make sense other than they(Texas) won their conference, OK, FLA St did too, but you're saying they arent good enough. THey are all 1 loss teams UGA, Texas, and BAMA. COuld UGA have gone into Tuscaloosa when BAMA was unsettled at QB an won? SUre we could have!
Don't see how you drop the number 1 team all year pretty much out of the top 4 for a 3 point loos to a top team. BUt I guess Ohio St. would have the same argument!
The Dawgs are still one of the 4 best teams, but they will get left out of the playoffs. We should know by now that you can't make costly mistakes against a Saban coached team like Bama. We did, and we lost. We never gave up, but the better team won yesterday.
We may very well be one of the best four, but all we needed to do was control our destiny with a win. I still don’t think Alabama is better but a win is a win. Props to them. Go Dawgs!
The CFP is equally if not more flawed than the BCS. I'd like to know what metrics, after wins and losses, have been used to evaluate teams. If it's simply opinions then my point is proven.
Michigan, Washington, and Florida State remain undefeated. All three should be in the CFP. End of discussion.
By ranking to date the best one-loss teams are Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, and Alabama. One of these teams should be the fourth team in the CFP.
The fourth team should be the best one-loss team based on the CFP metrics. The fourth team should not be determined based on one performance.
To promote Alabama from #8 to # 4, and leapfrog Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia, based on one performance is rubbish. Or, worse yet, simply because they are Alabama and the SEC Champion. To do so would totally negate the ranking system used to date. It would be a profound statement of subjectivity, bias, and disrespect.
Go Dawgs!!
Just saw one of my spelling mistakes, "intimate" should be "intimidate". @GoodOlDawg, I don't think OSU should make it in the top 4. But I also think they deserve a look because eye test and overall talent wise, they are most likely a top 4 team. People can debate all day about the top 4 but at the end of the day, I believe it is about which teams will produce the most views. More views means more money. It's all about the money. Still love my Dawgs. Go Dawgs!
@Gibroni88 Hilarious, eh?
