Media bias is BACK! It's all about the eyeballs, not who deserves to be ranked but rather who will bring in the most eyeball! Not to mention, media have always hated the South!

The good thing about the BCS formula was it rewarded strength of schedule more than going undefeated.


Really, is that why a 2 loss team made the BCSCG in 2007 and undefeated Hawaii was out?

If LSU wins out and looks convincing doing it, things will work itself out, no need to get this angry yet.

You failed English in high school, didn't you?

That and this is just a terrible take.

Maybe LSU should leave the SEC and play in the ACC then go to the playoffs every year as an undefeated team!

Colley matrix was my favorite BCS poll. It has LSU at #23. The fact is, LSU ruined their own season.

I think Kentucky was ranked when the game happened, but they have lost again.


Kentucky was ranked when they played UGA, Florida was not, neither are ranked now. I’m a big fan or ranking based on resume to date and adjusting as we get new information. The biggest problem with the polls especially since the first one comes out preseason, is that teams will drop only if they lose with rare exception. The committee has been much better than the traditional polls about that. tOSU has the best resume at the moment, they should be #1 this week. If UGA wins out, including a win over a potential 11-1 Alabama in the SECCG, maybe theirs will be better and they may deserve the 1 spot

The formula was changed over the years the formula used from 2005-2013 was the best, the early years there were multiple where there was legit controversy and I would argue the match up was not the right one* 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003 all got it wrong in terms of one of the teams playing.
98: FSU was In because they lost first. Ohio St or KSU had better arguments to be in.
2000: Miami beat FSU head to head and Washington beat Miami, Washington maybe had the tougher SOS either should have been in over FSU.
2001 : Nebraska did not win their division let alone confer and lost 62-39. Oregon or Colorado should have been over them.
2003: OU lost their CCG by 4 TDs, they had business being in the BCSCG. It should have been LSU v USC, though it was this year that lead to simpler formula.

I tried telling you people that this committee bullshite was a terrible Idea but no one would listen. This crap was put in because media pushed the narrative and the sheep fans got behind it and bought in. With the BCS they didn't have much control of who got in. It was most based upon who you beat, strength of schedule and how strong your opponents are. Now 12 ppl sit in a room and decide who gets in. Teams don't have control of the system anymore.

You are so fricking stupid that I can’t read this entire thread—I could barely finish the OP. You are an embarrassment to LSU fans everywhere.

Yes, southern teams have never made the playoffs (since it was implemented) or won the NC (when given by the AP or when the AP made up half of the BCS).

quote:

OSU is ranked #1 in spite of the fact they will only play 3 ranked teams. Compared to LSU, AL, & Wash. has 4 ranked teams.


Who gives a shut who either “will play.” This is solely based on WHAT THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE. And will be fluid and change each week as new results are factored. Which is WHAT THEY SHOULD frickING DO!!!

I tried to go further, but can’t read any more. You are so goddamn buttfricking stupid thinking games yet to be played should be any sort of factor. You also clearly haven’t paid any attention to what the committee has done previously. You are a fricking bitch c unt disgrace to not just LSU fans, but all human fricking beings. Delete your account or yourself, you whiny fricking c unt.

There nothing better than someone calling other people “sheep” while clinging to a narrative that is demonstrably false.

And yet the 4 teams picked by the committee are the same 4 teams ranked 1-4 in the BCS formula which was 2/3 human polls anyway. Can you provide a single example of a team that unjustly made it and who was left out that shouldn’t have been? They 100% factor all those things in, they just do it after it happens. These mix season’s rankings don’t matter, it’s the last one and I’d love to see all the times the committee “got it wrong”.

no correlation to the AP


They have no correlation to logic or common sense. It's obvious stupidity, always was.
