A 2-loss team is more deserving than a 5-loss team - wouldn't you agree?
ehhh not always.
A&M has lost to #2, #3, #4, #11, and #12 I think. That is ridiculous
Cincinnati would get annihilated by all of those teams. A&M at least kept it close with a few.

How many threads are you going to start on this.

LOL , I laughed when they were bragging on Minnesota couple weeks ago. Georgia Southern almost beat them at their home field.
LSU steam rolled Georgia Southern.
The committee wants a LSU vs Ohio state matchup.
They know Ohio state can't beat Clemson, so they are wanting LSU to do the dirty work and beat Clemson

But, how is that meaningful if neither have lost and neither have really been close to losing a game? It doesn't seem like it is really. Maybe one team was trying different wrinkles in the games they were winning and that accounts for it. Who the hell knows?
I'm not sure I understand how inconsistent stats amongst games that are ALL WON, versus another team that puts up consistent stats and wins, necessarily is any sort of indicator that one of those teams may be better than the other.

We will, unquestionably, have a better resume than OSU
Only until the committee rearranges the rankings to make Ohio State’s resume better.

Are all of the computers in the Massey composite in love with Ohio State also? Because Ohio State is #1 in every computer ranking but two.

The CFP is simply saying Cincy has better losses than those teams. And it's true.
And their best win is against UCF.
Navy's best win was against ranked SMU. Navy has losses to the same Memphis team and ranked Notre Dame.
SMU has a loss to that same Memphis team and ranked Navy.
So no, I wouldn't say Cincinnati has a better resume than SMU or Navy. They have a "better loss" because they played OSU but they don't have better wins. One of their losses (Memphis) is shared with both SMU and Navy.
I think Navy has a better argument and resume than Cincinnati but they won't get their due because of the style of game they play. Cincinnati would have lost to Notre Dame the same as they lost to OSU, so what are we really talking about here?

Why the hell do y'all have a problem with this?
People have a problem with only dropping them 1 spot after losing to Memphis more than they do with Cincy's actual #20 ranking.
Usually, to only drop 1 spot you have to lose a heartbreaker to the #1 team or something.

You used to come off as just mildly annoying.
Now you’re going full blown retard.

Yeah, why should a team simply get credit for losing to a good team in a horrible beat down?

Cincinnati is not a good team and probably shouldn't be in the top 25.
Well the CFP, the AP, and the Coaches disagree with you.
Which is more likely - Cincinnati is recognized as a serviceable, top 25 team by most experts OR TheCaterpillar on TigerDroppings has more information than everyone else?
Side note - Cincy not being top 25 helps TheCaterpillar's team in the rankings.

Yes you are sure, you use this method of measurement in comparing any two teams that haven't played. You do this all the time - we all do.

Nah, because it's mostly meaningless if a team is winning consistently. It really tells you nothing.

Not saying there’s a conspiracy, but with a LSU win over UGA they are unquestionably deserving of the #1 ranking.
How do you figure that? UGA lost to a piss poor USCe team. How does a victory over them somehow catapult us to the top? If we go in and blow them out by 21 or more, I can see the argument, but just beating UGA likely won't be enough to make a difference in standings.

Run OSU through the SEC grinder and then get back to us about consistency.

So it will come down to whether LSU's resume out-weighs OSU's consistency

consistency
is often completely dependent on

resume
Also, a host of other factors that arent quantifiable by any humans outside of idiot savants and top-class MIT graduates. Last I check there arent any of those on the Committee. Just a bunch of dudes(and dames
) sitting around watching football and picking their favorite teams. #letthecomputersdeicide
InB4- mUh cuRRenT BCS hAS OSU #1
Im referring to the computers that dont have HUMAN polls as 3/4 of their formula. Those HUMANS dont even watch all the games, unlike the Committee.

It seems like it could also be a factor of simply playing a bunch of teams with consistent playing styles, which is not necessarily saying anything about the quality of those opponents good or bad.
