And I'm pretty sure one of the chairman is on record saying they're all weighted equally.


lol at you buying this.

It’s impossible to weigh those equally. It’s a room full of humans. Bias will work its way into the discussion.

Yea I will no longer pay attention to what the committee says.

Last year going into CCG week, they said Bama and OSU (along with a few other teams) were very close. After they said that, OSU beat a top 10 Wisconsin team and won a conference title, Fresno St. lost which took a top 25 win off Bama's resume, and Auburn lost, which hurt their resume as well.

“Reflecting on the discussions over the last two days, obviously there’s three spots that separate them right there, but it’s close separation from team No. 5, Alabama; 6, Georgia; 7, Miami; 8, Ohio State. Those teams are close,” Hocutt said. “Very little separation in the committee’s eyes between teams 5 through 8.”

The next week they said Bama was clearly better. I'm not saying Bama was not deserving or OSU was moreso; I'm stating that they made a comment about the committee, then 3 things happened that hurt one team and helped another, and they didn't flip those teams even though there was "very little separation" before
