Ohio State 4 LSU 3

I can’t really get on the bandwagon with you TD posters in regards to, “LSU no doubt should be No.1.” I think it’s 1A vs 1B, and the committee has virtually said the same.
I would put LSU in at No.1, but when the committee looks at Top 25 victories and sees that Ohio State has four and LSU has three, and uses that to justify ranking one team over the other, I can understand where they are coming from.
Next week, when Memphis beats Cincy and LSU beats UGA, and Ohio State beats Wisconsin for the second time, you’ll be looking at each team having four wins against top 25 opponents, with LSU’s four being better than Ohio State’s four. If this truly is a 1A vs 1B situation as the committee says it is, with the margin of resume being so slim, the committee should place LSU #1 this Sunday.

But then the committee will drop whatever teams it needs to drop in the rankings to ensure that OSU has a "better resumé."

Just win. Yes -- I'd rather play Utah/Baylor/OU than clemson. But how sweet is this season going to be when we look back and say we beat:
Texas
Florida
Auburn
Alabama
A&M
Georgia
Clemson
Ohio State
No team has ever had a season where they beat a similar listing of teams like this before. If they had, I'd like to see it.

Stop with this BS narrative.
It makes two huge and terrible assumptions.
1. That Cincinnati is actually good.
2. That teams dont change throughout the year.
Texas in week 2 is not the same Texas team in week 15. That week 2 Texas team would beat the living shite out of this current version.
YOU HAVE to use the rankings as they were when the teams played. shite happens throughout the season. Teams deal with injuries, players getting better or worse, their seasons being ruined and they stop playing like they give a damn, adjustments in game planning or scheme, etc.
And, yes. I dont agree with ranking teams that early in the season. I think they should wait until about halfway through. But if youre going to rank teams that early, then use the fricking rankings. You cant have your cake and eat it too. You cant have it both ways.
Teams are dynamic, Not static. Its obvious that teams can get better through out the season. Thats why teams can climb so far in the rankings. People forget, they can also get worse.

The committee dictates the top 25. They have teams up to 7 spots behind where they are in the AP and coaches poll. What do you mean?

Also, Mullens used "high ranked opponents" this week when differentiating Clemson from LSU and OSU. LSU should have better high ranked wins if chalk holds. What metric will they use then?
Posted on 12/4/19 at 11:49 am to El Campo Tiger
Still Texas is better than Cincinnati.
Posted on 12/4/19 at 11:50 am to El Campo Tiger
Bs. The fact you can count cinn as a legit top 25 team is comical. They would be 6-6 at BEST with a&Ms schedule.
Line up bama, aub, fl against wisc, Penn St, Michigan...who you got? Lol
Explain why 10-2 Minn is now #18, while 10-2 Penn State, who lost to Minn, is #10

Omg, someone on here is being honest, rational, and unbiased - he must HATE LSU!
Not only this, but LSU's 4 ranked wins will ALL be current top 10 teams.
But you can't tell people on here this, they're children, they would rather the CFP conspire against LSU. They want that to be the narrative... for who knows what reason. It's a lack of maturity thing. They're naive and they've never left their small home town.

You don't have to use them solely but they should be factored in.
If LSU scores a touchdown to start the second half against Texas and Alabama, neither of those games ever gets close again and no one is questioning our defense.

Look for ga to tumble, much like bama
Posted on 12/4/19 at 11:53 am to TchPowDog
Explain Minn at 18 and Penn State at 10. I'll shut up and listen.

Why do you keep clinging to it only being one metric??? Why can't they be using several different metrics? That vary slightly week to week depending on how games play out.

Except for 90% of the rant on Saturday. The very same people bitching and crying about the CFP penalizing LSU for their defense. It's quite comical.

Because the head of the playoff committee is using the one metric as the deciding factor. Do you need a better reason?

Just wanted to point out the eye test used here - ya know, the metric you despise.
But is Texas better than Cincy? Texas was extremely close to losing against Kansas. They also lost to 7-5 Iowa St.

What in the world makes you think this? He said OSU has been the most consistent team. He's also said this about other teams. They clearly use consistency and resume as their way of ranking teams.
Not only has Mullens said this - OSU has shown it. They have shown to be the most consistent and their ranking reflects that.
2-3 weeks ago, OSU, though having shown consistency, didn't have the resume to be #1.
All the metrics matter and the CFP has shown that they matter.

3 loss Cincinnati with ZERO top 25 wins and narrow victories over 4-8 Tulsa, 4-8 USF, and 4-8 ECU should not be close to the top 25. They lost lost like 42-0 to Ohio State and by 10 to #18 Memphis, but they only dropped from #19 to #20.
It makes absolutely no sense, but I digress.

He actually explains these things on the rankings show. He's used complete team. defensive metrics, top 19 wins and high quality wins all separately in different situations to justify the rankings. Either you aren't watching or just want to argue.
