It's actually bs. And of course the guys are lying through their teeth knighting for the committee

I'm still adamant that Baylor was very underranked. They should've jumped ND and Ohio State.

Georgia really rode that media blowjob train to a 3 seed with no noteable wins.

I’m not sure why anyone is shocked by any of this. UGA can say they have only lost to the #1 team in the country and the committee has zero respect for Cincy.

With a more normal number of 1 loss teams, this 13-0 Cincy team would be ranked at 6 or 7 at best

Well, we have 3. But I will agree they aren’t necessarily great wins.

Baylor has better wins. Their losses are so so much worse though.

Ah yes.

The only place where losses count more than wins.

We will never get the benefit of the doubt SEC teams get. I don’t really complain.

TCU loss was inexcusable.

We has a better argument in 2014 or whenever the first CFP was.

You think that would be fair to Bama? Hey, let’s reward you as the #1 team by playing the team you will have the lowest spread against according to Vegas.


Was it fair when LSU was forced to play bama twice to win a title in 2011?

Not about being fair.

The rankings shouldn't be manipulated to avoid having the same matchup in back to back weeks.

Everyone fawning over the Bama win yesterday, lest they forget they barely beat a shitastic Florida team, a lame duck garbage LSU team and took 4 OT's to be an Auburn team with a QB who had 1 leg.

Honestly, it should be: 1. Michigan 2. Alabama 3. Cincinnati 4. Baylor


We get it, you hate Florida. You think Baylor’s losses to TCU and Okie State are a better showing than Georgia losing to Alabama

There’s nothing surprising or shocking about those rankings. Have to think if we get an SEC rematch that will not be good for ratings.

I'm assuming UGA will b favored over Michigan. Is this the 1st time a 3 seed could be betting favorite over a 2?

Y’all dropped 1 spot in the rankings after losing to TCU…

Feel like Alabama- Michigan is the dream matchup for the committee, not the rematch

All that I’m saying is that we don’t deserve to be the in the playoff imo.

There was no chance we got in.

This is why we need an expanded playoff.

UGA's notable wins are Arkansas and Kentucky......and it's just decided that they are some GOAT team.

Bama's win over UGA yesterday wasn't impressive. Alabama is the first team with a pulse that UGA has played all season.

It's hard to overlook Bama's #4 SOS in the entire country versus Michigan's #21 SOS, if that's your argument that Bama shouldn't be 1.

The only impressive win for any of the playoff contestants is Cincy over ND then Mich over osu.

Clemson was favored in 2019 over Ohio State and I’m pretty sure we were favored over OU in 2017.

Well, I think they picked the best and most deserving teams. The order is whatever.

This may be the most uncertain I've been about the playoffs since they began, honestly; aside from a reasonably high amount of confidence that Cincy will not be able to handle Bama for an entire game.
