Yet another CFP Committee complaint thread. !!WiTh NuMbERrrS!!

Very Well Done! Says it all

Thanks, brother.

The issue with looking at the numbers is that they are not.

They control the narrative, they control the rankings, they are basically forcing exactly what they want.

the differences in the coaches/ap and the rankings say it all. They moved a Wiscy team with a loss from Illinois and #1 above a Florida team with a loss from #2 and #4.

Not to mention they shoved Minnesota up towards the top when it was the possible OSU opponent. But now that they lost they just shoved them down while forcing Wiscy up.

They claim they do not look ahead to determine where the current rankings are. Which is true, but they definitely seem to stack the deck in favor of it playing out how they want.

With a win over UGA, realistically LSU should have 4 wins against teams CURRENTLY in the top 10. But they are doing all they can to make sure its only 2.

Just wait until Baylor/OK and Utah/Oregon is in front of Alabama and Auburn to make sure they are outside the top 10.

Good work.

I think if Ohio State jumped LSU this week instead of last week there would have been less outrage because they could have just said the resumes are pretty close but we think Ohio State has played a little better. Okay I can live with that.

But the first ranking and last week’s ranking LSU had a far better resume (in the first ranking) and still a better resume (last week) and all we heard was eye test this and eye test that and most complete team.

If LSU wins this week their resume would be back to being better. They would have equal number of current top 25 wins but one of Ohio State’s is Cincy.

What's the margin of victory for both teams against their marquee games? Honestly curious

Thats where it gets complicated. You would have to factor in so many variables. Its why these things are best left to computer algorithms. Just to name a few, strength of opponents and all that goes into figuring that out, points scored in junk garbage time, points scored on 'fluke' plays, injuries, ejections, etc.

I would imagine if you just went with margin of victory Ohio State would have a decided advantage. I think if you used a comprehensive/adjusted margin of victory it might tell a different story. I really have no idea.

Its beyond my ability to compute. Its the whole point that most are making. They pulled a bait and switch to gain human control over the postseason. They dont want a dispassionate voter(computer formula using on-field metrics) resulting in accurate and equitable matchups. They want an entertainment product.

LOL at counting Texas. And you didn't even do your genius Math right.

#9, #UR Texas (7-5, OU, TCU, IowaSt, Baylor)
#7, #9 Florida (10-2, UGA)
#9, #11 Auburn (9-3, UF, UGA)
#3, #12 Alabama (10-2, Auburn)

TOTALS - #7, #10.6

You can't get that 10.6 figure without including Texas if you included them in the first number. What is Texas currently ranked? 35ish? This means the second number would be more like 16.75ish

This type of shite is what flat-earthers and Holocaust deniers do.

Teams' recruiting class rankings don't matter - see FSU, USC, Texas, A&M.

Hey a-hole.

I did the same for Ohio State.

#13, #14 Michigan (9-3, Wisconsin, Penn State)

TOTALS - #11.3, #13

You think Im going to undermine my own credibility? Who do you think I am? A CFP Committee member?

Yeah, no shite.

It doesnt factor in coaching and a shite ton of other variables.

The point was, even if in vain, to find some other subjective criteria for determining the relative strengths of these opponents.

I did the best I could without spending the countless time and energy needed to formulate the highly complex algorithm necessary to accurately parse out the college football world and its incredible imparity.

You think you can do better. Please do.

Honestly. Im not being facetious. All most want is the truth. As close as we can come. Youre not going to get that with 13 humans watching games on a laptop and dropping beans in a jar.

We can do better. We HAD better. Its clear now that they dont want to do better.

The best offense Ohio State played was ranked #47.

Jesus Christ, dude. The CFP thinks OSU is slightly better than LSU - and they're justified in thinking that.

---

I just showed you why there is little if any reason to think that.

quote:

---

OSU has shown more consistency throughout the season. And they've destroyed everyone.

---

I just showed you why that is. And do you ever think that maybe coaching philosophy might have something to do with that? Some coaches dont run up the score. Some coaches do. Some coaches pull players and rotate more with a lead. Some dont. Some coaches play conservative with a lead. Some play aggressive and keep their foot on the gas.

The message the committee is sending is that you should play weak teams that you can out talent and run the score up on. OSU at #1. Clemson at #3. Saban played that game and got burned. Broke his QB. CEO has stated that when he gets up two scores in the 2nd half he will pull Burrow. Thats a coaching philosophy that doesnt do him any favors in the eyes of the committee.

Whether they admit it or not, blowouts give them priapism.

All you frickheads on here bitch and cry and moan every god damned weekend about our defense saying "We won't win a championship with this defense" and "we'll lose 4 games with this defense",

---

I didnt. So "all you frickheads" are actually 'some frickheads'. And teams and units get better or worse through out the season. Sometimes all they need is to be challenged by telling they arent good enough and they are hurting their teams chances. Thats why coaches play up the disrespect card.

quote:

---

then you bitch and cry and moan when the CFP penalizes LSU for their defense

---

Thats not what most are bitching about. Most are bitching about the inconsistentcy and the selective application of their own criteria. Rob Mullens is all over the place. One week its 'eye test'. The next week its 'strength of schedule'. Next it might be 'Theres been too much movement, we are going to leave things where they are. We as a committee dont want to be seen as fickle and wishy-washy'.

Grow up, children and quit being dishonest and biased.

Thats not me so Im hope its not me youre referring to. Ive been extremely objective. Ohio State may very well be the best team but Im challenging the committes intent and integrity. Im just doing it by highlighting their inconsistency and LSU happens to be part of that conversation. Ive done the same with other teams in the past. I was furious when they left out Penn State a while back.

quote:

---

. The CFP is NOT conspiring to keep OSU #1 - they have no gain from it.

---

Oh. Youre one of those people.

Everything is always above board and people dont conspire.






For fricksake. Dont I even get an attaboy for trying to make sense of this shite? Whats your contribution? All youve done is call people names and stir shite.
