This is the part that bothers me the most. This has such a negligible effect when you're playing in Sept/Oct that it is hardly worth noting. UGA is just an average football team. They were average when they played Alabama and they were average when they played UF.

The only think that bothers me is that they pick and choose which criteria they are going to apply to which teams, and Bama/UF is a great example. Whatever caused Bama to be #4 should have caused UF to be ahead of Bama.
Nope. They have more .500 wins.

We should be thankful Alabama didn't lose to Ole Miss on a blocked punt. They would be ranked #1.

Don't know what I want more, a LSU win to knock Bama out for good, or a Bama win to make this board implode.
Have you considered option C? Bama loses to LSU but still gets into the playoff on their name when two other teams struggle and the LSU/Florida loser is eliminated.

Baylor too high.

I've been saying this since the committee got announced. They got lucky last year worked out pretty neatly for the most part. No one cared that Baylor or TCU got left out. But there is going to be a time when this committee royally screws over a program. It might be this year. Maybe next. But it's going to happen and is just a matter of time.
They are going to disguise it as the "eye test" which is just code for being biased and having no statistics to back up your opinion. No one holds the committee accountable. Nothing is public. We have no idea what the frick they are doing in there. Everyone says it doesn't matter right now and will work itself out. That's probably true. But the rankings show they don't have a clue. Jeff Long actually said that Bama was ahead of Florida because of wins over .500 teams. There are millions of dollars on the line and the committee needs to be held accountable. We should know exactly what is determining these rankings.
Say what you want about the BCS and it had its share of problems, but at least when a team got screwed they knew how it happened.

RJ Bell is a fraud. A scam artist. He doesn't have any "Vegas" inside sources. OK so he says "Vegas" says TCU would be favored over Clemson a nd LSu. Who is "Vegas"? A line originator for LVSC? A sportsbook manager? An ex sportsbook manager? A random book employee? A ticket writer? When he says "Vegas" who is he referring to?
That's right, he uses "vegas" as a vague broad reference to act like he has inside info and sources, but he doesn't. He is making up bullshite to get retweets and twitter followers, to lead sheep to the slaughter to his scam tout services and steal people's money.
frick that guy and his "business" scam operation known as Pregame. Do not give that fricker scam artist any credibility.
And this is coming from someone who agrees that TCU would be favored over both teams. But frick that guy. I hate RJ Bell and his scam industry.

I saw that tweet on several boards. I didn't know he was a fraud, my bad

Why does almost every radio show have him on if he is such a fraud? Also, if he is just saying how the books would put spreads on these teams, who cares?

Its OK, a lot of people dont. I try to educate people about him.
Its a shame that ESPN, New York Times, Grantland, and other outlets give that fricker scam artist credibility. They lend him credibiltiy to make him seem like he knows his shite.
But trust me - he does not know jack shite. He is despised in all sharp gambling communities outside of pregame. They all hate touts, and therefore hate RJ Bell and his ilk.
Anyone who sells picks for gambling purposes is a scam artist.

Then it will go to 8 teams and I would be completely happy with it. 4 is not enough. 24 in FCS is too many.

Watching these rankings unfold for the second time will be very interesting. I guess I'm cynical but I don't think anything is created without having a bias one way or the other. Last year didn't give much away because I thought the four teams were pretty obvious. There's no way it will be that easy on them this year.

Because they either dont know any better, or have a stake in his scam operation. I think ESPN has a stake in Pregame, which is a scam operation that sells picks to suckers. But as I have pointed out, anyone who sells picks is a scam artist. There are watchdogs who point out that most of their cappers have losing long term records, but they lie or spin or embellish their records to make it seem like they are winners.
quote:

Because it does matter where he is getting his info from.
Spreads in Las Vegas are originated by the LVSC(Las Vegas Sports Consultants). Offshore spreads are originated by CRIS. That's it. There are really only 2 originators in the world. So unless RJ Bell has inside sources in LVSC or CRIS, he doesn't know jack shite.
The fact that he doesn't use LVSC or CRIS, but instead attributes it to "Vegas", tells me he is either bullshitting and making shite up, or getting his info from a sportsbook manager or ex-manager, which is still bullshitting and making shite up because managers are not originators who originate lines.
I have made a post before about why this guy is a fraud: LINK /
