but who showed they were the better team?
I would think LSU was better than FSU that year but that's just my opinion so it doesn't matter. LSU was not the best team in the nation because they showed, on the field, they weren't the best team in their own conference.

why would you create a system to determine the best team where you don't allow the best teams in?
The conference winners aren't the best teams?

within their conference, they are (typically)

within the big picture, they are not (often)

the Sun Belt champ is not better than the SEC champ. and i feel safe in saying this will not happen in my lifetime

so you are saying that a team goes 12-1 loses its CCG to another 12-1 team is not as good as an 8-5 team that wins its CCG.

you think the computer polls are based in non-objective data?
Is that the only thing involved in deciding a national champion? Of course computer polls are based on subjective data. Someone has to come up with what he/a group of people think should be weighted more when put into the math formula. That's why not all math-formula polls end up the same.

Well then he should argue that there are too many conferences in the FBS system


why that is completely irrelevant.

any shot at a title based solely on opinion, what you people like to call "objective criteria," is a silly argument.



the objective data is based on what happens in games, on the field over the course of 12 weeks or so. A sample of 12 is better than a sample of 1.

Yes, but a playoff system, whether it be the BCS 2-team system or my system should be interested only in finding 1 team that is the best. So if you are not the best in your own conference, you should not be named the 1 best team in the nation. It's silly.

So which math-formula poll should be used to decide the national champion?

In 2001 Florida had a better conference record that SEC champ LSU. They also skull fricked us by 29 in Baton Rouge. But because LSU won 1 game over a team that had beaten Florida and LSU with a special name, according to you we were better than Florida.

no but that's not the point. OU only won the Big 12 because McCoy git hut and UT lost their last 2, not because OU was terrible good necessarily.

who you beat
So how is how good each team you beat determined?
quote:

how badly did you beat them
Is a 13-0 dominant defensive win better than a 55-42 overtime thriller?
quote:

where you beat them
Is every game going to be given a crowd coefficient?
quote:

how many times you lost
You're the one arguing that undefeated teams should be given no shot.
quote:

What "objective math formula" should be used to determine all this.
quote:

really analyze MOV against these 4
so is 13-0 the same as 55-42 in OT?

I never said we were better than Florida that year. Florida didn't win their division, much less their conference. They showed during the season they weren't the best team in the conference so why should they be named the best team in the nation?

Plus, why are just those numbers the important ones? What objective determination was used to say that those are what criteria should be looked at? Or is it just your opinion that that is what should be looked at?
