re: Explain these two rankings to me please. I am open to solid arguments changing my mind.
Posted by Bucks2TigerFan on 12/4/19 at 4:28 pm
You may not like this, but the committee looks at a lot of things, here is a short summary of why Wisconsin might be higher than Florida in their eyes.
Florida beat #11 Auburn, 24-13, lost at #2 LSU, 28-42, and to #4 Georgia, 17-24, so [b]they are 1-2 (.333) against ranked teams[/b], played 2 FCS...

How the Playoff Committee uses Data to Place Teams
Posted by Bucks2TigerFan on 12/4/19 at 4:11 pm
First off, let me say I hate that the committee has no firm, fixed, transparent criteria that one can easily judge and see how they got what they got. I would prefer a list of the criteria, even it was 100 items long, with a weighting that would require a computer to keep track of it all, but at lea...

[quote]The real kicker would be if teams from down here had to travel up north to play. Florida going to Wisconsin to play in December. I don't think they've played a non conference road game out of the state since the Kennedy administration. Talk about jumping right into the deep end. [/quote]

8 games and all of them are fresh with no repeats to games this year, although some have met in years past

Obviously, the final Top 8 after this weekend will look different than this Top 8, but even just using just this week’s ranking, who wouldn't want to see this playoff bracket?

re: PFF All SEC Team. 10 LSU players make team
Posted by Bucks2TigerFan on 12/3/19 at 11:51 am
Burrow, Chase, and Stingley made their All American team as well.
LSU was the only team with 3 players on their list.

re: Is Nick Saban the luckiest coach ever?
Posted by Bucks2TigerFan on 12/3/19 at 7:09 am
[quote]The reason he looks like a fish out of water is that the spread doesn't require a coach to be a great tactician. If your receiver is better than his defender you win, regardless of scheme. Saban has yet to find the answer for winning 1 on 1 matchups more consistently. [/quote]

Yep. They were #4 in the CFP rankings before the Ohio State game, and and would have made the playoff had they won out. Instead they lost to Ohio State 62-39 and then Florida 41-15.

According to MLive.com, Kansas was unranked to start the 1989-90 season but jumped to No. 4 after starting 4-0 with wins over three then-ranked teams, including Nos. 1 and 2, so it's happened at least once before.

Be undefeated and beating 2 top 10 teams in 2 days should do that, especially since John Beilein didn't leave the cupboard bare when he left for the Cavs.

Exactly, playing Clemson should be tougher than playing Oklahoma, and all it takes is for the committee to seed Clemson at #4 according to their ranked wins resume, not the eye test....
re: If Ohio State is #1 seed, who would give them a tougher match?
Posted by Bucks2TigerFan on 12/2/19 at 12:24 pm
If you really want Ohio State to have the toughest semi if they're #1, you should root for Oklahoma to win and the committee to drop Clemson to #4 since Oklahoma will have 3 ranked wins and Clemson will have zero.
It would then be:
#1 OSU #4 Clemson in the Fiesta (to prevent Clemson home advanta...

This is always a fun series to watch. I also like the Gavitt Games with the Big East as well.
I added the Kenpom Ranking numbers to your list. It looks like many of the games, even the lesser ones, will be close and interesting.
