Sounds like it

Games aren't played on paper dude. 63-20 head to head. You can't ignore what actually happened before our very eyes for what some nerds say should've happened

That's always been the case.
Conference championships, head-to-head record, common opponents, etc. all come into play if the résumés are more or less equal.
To me, it gets a bit hairy when the head-to-head result is so big. Florida State has a better résumé than Louisville, sure. Not denying that. But if one team absolutely slaughters the other team on the field, we're supposed to just completely ignore that unless they have basically equal resumés? I just don't really like that part of the criteria.

If it was like 24-21, I could see your point. OSU is better than penn state, but lost.
43 points is not an accident.

63-20. Are you really that fricking dense? You can't ignore that when the spread is 43 points. Maybe you can disregard the results of a close game, but that game was over in the first quarter and FSU looked like a high school team.

Yes, I'll say it: The fact that UL is one spot behind FSU is proof that UL is being rewarded for their demolition of the Seminoles.

Sorry. Need more if you wanna discuss this with me. Do your homework.

Louisville also had a 7-1 ACC record to FSU's 5-3 record. Look, we blew it. All we had to do was show up and beat UK. We didn't so that's that.
However, I have a problem with the committee when they had Clemson ranked 4th and us 5th the week after them losing to Pittsburgh. The Chairman said Clemson was ahead of us because of the H2H matchup. They don't follow it's own guidelines

ONE GAME IS ALL I NEED SHAWN

I love how the one thing people are arguing tonight is two teams with 0% chance to make the playoffs 
Posted on 11/29/16 at 6:34 pm to cardswinagain
If there is EVEN A SLIGHT justification for having a harbaugh-saban-meyer playoff, the committee will run with it.
No matter how you feel, it's about ratings and $$$ in the long run.

Because anyone with a brain knows OSU is better than pedo state.

If Washington loses and the committee takes two teams from the same conference when neither made the title game, how will that look?

Sorry, but everything is perfectly consistent and fair here.

With a Washington and Clemson loss this weekend, we could possibly see 3 Big 10 schools in the playoffs.
#2 Ohio State
#5 Michigan
#6 Wisconsin/ #7 Penn St. Winner

I wouldn't mind a playoff of Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, and Michigan at all.
Now I am hardcore cheering for Washington to lose.

We need to get you nerds out of football. Determine it on the field.
