Going to be even worse when they keep Bama in the top 8 after a close loss next week

It is pretty similar actually. The computers can be predicted but the voters in the BCS could be just as inconsistent and inscrutable.

Why not shame Ohio State similarly? Their schedule isn't a whole lot better. Why do they get in right now and Michigan State doesn't?

Because the committee will say they won't factor in last year but of course they will.

Let's talk about what is really important...Bama bias. Alabama loses to Ole Miss a team that Florida stomps. Florida loses a close one to #2 LSU. Yet somehow Alabama deserves #4 while Florida gets #10. Use to think it was SEC bias, but it's really just fricking Alabama bias.

yeah I agree on paper I don't see much difference between Florida and Bama at all. It looks alot like they're seeing that Bama is a 7 pt favorite over LSU this week and they are already factoring that in. There are major inconsistencies.

It looks like they went off potential for some teams, on field performance for some, and past resume for others.

My guess is them and TCU are being punished for their near losses on fluke plays


So they get penalized for near losses but the committee looks the other way when it comes to Bama's ACTUAL loss.

Makes sense.

Yeah they picked where they wanted to rank the teams and built their criteria around that, sometimes different for every team. "SOS is super important lets piss all over Baylor". It would have taken balls to do that to Ohio State. Don't act like you're making some completely objective ranking system and then rank Iowa 6 spots below Ohio State.

I'd like for them to explain why Notre Dame is ranked #5 after a losing to Clemson. While UF is ranked #10 after losing to LSU. The same UF team that blew the doors off of Ole Miss.

There was a lot more of them and we had records of exactly how they were voting.

@RJinVegas: Vegas says TCU best team left out of Top Four ... would be favored over both #1 Clemson and #2 LSU


Probably a bunch of bullshite. There is no way TCU would be favored over either.

Florida is totally being disrespected. They are a good team this year. Other than that, I don't disagree too much with the top 4.

It is a bunch of bullshite. I guess trouncing WVU has helped their credibility but they've struggled defensively all year. It's the safe move to pile on Baylor now without their quarterback but they were clearly the team to beat in the Big 12. Now I'll probably take OU.

Its absolutely not true. The "TCU would be favored over Clemson and LSU" is a bullshite tweet tweeted out by a scam artist tout with no credibility or inside info.

RJ Bell doesn't know shite. There is only one originator in Las Vegas and thats LVSC. I guarantee you they wouldn't share their information with RJ Bell or any tout.

People still think this is the bama of 2011-2012, the greatest of a time. People cant get over the fact it is not, this bama team is slightly better version than last years team. Barely escaped a mediocre tennessee team at home, lost to an ok ole miss team at home. Lsu is going to come hungry. Ohio state would push them around

Interesting stat: every single ranked SEC team is higher in the CFP than AP or coaches poll.
