this is the definition of cherry picking stats to justify a stupid point.
Alabama would have the better loss between them and Oregon.
The best win of the 2.
Higher ranked loss.
Twice as many top 25 wins(5, 11, 13, 21 for Alabama vs ~7, 20 for Oregon)
On what fricking planet should Oregon be ranked ahead of Alabama if Alabama, Texas, and Oregon win this week?

It doesn’t matter what planet. The planet Earth that host the playoff committee think Oregon is clearly better than bama

quote:No, resumes are used to see who DESERVES to be ranked in the top 4. Same record, better resume, no head to head, you take the team with the best resume.
And all debates about resumes are an attempt to figure out who is “better” or in other words, who would win on a neutral field
That’s Alabama over Oregon if Texas, Alabama, and Oregon win this week.
On what planet should Oregon be ranked ahead of Alabama on this scenario?

I think it’s a joke and 99% of LSU fans wholeheartedly think it’s right that Oregon SHOULD be ranked ahead of Alabama if Alabama, Texas, and Oregon win this week.
That opinion makes a hypocrite out of all of them. It’s baffling.

They think Oregon is better. They are biased humans. Usually, bama had the benefit of human bias. This year to the committee, they don’t

So, hypocrites everywhere like you said

Although I’d be perfectly content if Texas gets in over Alabama simply bc of the head to head. That’s fair to me.
What I don’t understand is Oregon in the case that all 3 win.
Oregon simply cannot make it in over Alabama in this scenario. It’s absolute fraud.

Based on what? Show some data not just past bowl games.
Mississippi State is the 7th best team in the SEC West and they beat Arizona. Who is probably the 3rd or 4th best team in the PAC-12
Louisville is the 2nd best team in the ACC and lost at home to the 5th or 6th best team in the SEC East
This along with upper tier Big 12 schools losing to South Alabama and Ohio. When bad teams in the Big 12 start beating elite teams in other Power 5 conferences, that’ll be a start

Just last year Saban said it should be based on Vegas odds 
frick the resume

Probably, but they won't be unless Louisville or Iowa wins.

Alabama would have wins over ~5, 11, 13, 21 as a 12-1 conference winner
Oregon would have wins over ~7, 20 as a 12-1 conference winner
Alabama would have the overall more difficult SOS as well
Why are y’all ok with Oregon making it in over Alabama?

Lol. You know the answer to that one.

Funny how you seemed to have left out context to fit your narrative.
First off, Texas beat Bama H2H in Tuscaloosa and pretty well controlled that game. That single point is most important in comparing the two.
Texas’s “worse loss” was to their greatest rival in a closely contested neutral site game where OU was losing until the last 15 seconds.
Now you’ll spin to say “why does rival matter” as if Bama didn’t just need a last second miracle to beat their own rival who has 6 losses.

Wisky had more wins, better loss, played in a conference title game
But they simply just thought bama was better
