If Ohio State looked bad against UCLA, as A@M did yesterday to a bad team, they would get criticized. When its an sec team, they say '''they played hard and fought to the end''

I know this will sound strange and draw some laughter, but the reason these SEC teams are ranked so high is because all these SEC teams are ranked so high. Most of the comparisons and assessments are predicated on the fact that "they lost but to a team ranked in the Top 10" or something like that. The group, when taken together, strike me as being average right now. I might be proven wrong come January, but right now none of them impress me. The best examples of the over-ranking can be seen with Texas and Tennessee. How many losses does it take for the AP Poll voters and the CFP committee to stop giving them a hope for the playoff?? Outside shot that Tennessee finishes the regular season with 5 losses and Texas with 4, but these voters will still want to keep them in the Top 25. It's ridiculous.
The snarky comment about Charlotte isn't because Georgia is playing them, every team does that. It's because of WHEN Georgia is playing them. You'd have to be stupid or ignorant not to have gotten that, and I know neither of those is true. As for Ohio State vs. Michigan, barring some unforeseen circumstances or major injury(s) I don't expect them to lose this season. But that stuff happens, just look at what happened to your precious 'Tide.

You don’t think Texas or Alabama belong in the top 25? Just because they’re not #1 or you think there are 25 better teams?
Why does the top 25 matter once the CFP committee starts releasing rankings?
Texas has some good wins, but Missouri and Tennessee should not be ranked. And Texas should'nt be ahead of Michigan.
I don’t follow Missouri but I agree that Tennessee is bad this year.
I think Texas vs Michigan might be an even game.
As long as Texas isn’t in the CFP I don’t care where they end up. I’m on the fence with Michigan but if Underwood is hitting linebackers in the chest like he did against Northwestern perhaps it’s best to save them the embarrassment.

That doesn't really matter imo considering Texas has 3 losses, including a loss to a 3-7 team. I expect the Committee to place Michigan ahead of them at this point.
You don’t think Texas or Alabama belong in the top 25?
I don't believe Texas belongs in the Top 25 but I can't see where you got the notion that I don't think Alabama belongs there. If you look back a page I ranked them 10th. They belong there but I also agree that they are a "bubble team" and are in danger of repeating last season, left out.
My thing with these SEC teams all being ranked(over-ranked in my opinion) is that it clogs up the Top 25 and any path a team might have to get into the Top 12 for the playoffs. We can argue about who we think is good but since everyone in every conference avoids playing each other we never know till Bowl Season. My post about Alabama beat Georgia beat Texas beat Oklahoma beat Alabama was meant to highlight how inconsistent they all are. Chalk that up to when in the season the games are played, where they're played, rivalries, etc., but none of the teams play consistently. Any of those 4, I believe, could beat any of the ranked teams at any point. But, and I think it's a big but, they could also lose to to any of the ranked teams at any point.
The AP voters and the CFP voters view things from two angles: the SEC and the rest of the Conferences. With the SEC they are willing to let a 3-loss team hang around and have a shot. With everyone else a single loss has you hanging around but a 2-loss team is history. The exception to that seems to be Notre Dame, probably because their losses were so early. But the Irish are always granted a degree of deference by everyone.

Best 12 teams when the selections need to be finalized. That's what I want. I think we could all agree on at least 8 of those 12. If we can focus our discussion on the other 4 spots we'll be showing the world that college football forum fans can get along.
Best 12 teams when the selections need to be finalized
This isn't necessarily true. By rule there will need to be ACC and another conference Champions included and none of them are really that good. This is why I think the whole format needs to be rethought and expanded. There isn't a logical way to figure out who "the best teams" are to have a playoff, that's old school when it all wen off the AP Pol top teams. A playoff should be a playoff where you earn your way in by how you play during the season. Conference Championships should have value and those teams should be in a playoff. Not some haphazard way of saying this team is better than this team like we currently have.
Sixteen teams is my magic number.

It's not lost on me that there are rules that the CFP must follow. They need to pick the best 12 teams when the selections are finalized within the structure of the CFP rules. In the same way they can't pick teams outside of NCAAF to play. The CFP can't exist without the conferences so that's why you see this conference deference by the CFP structure. Would you be OK if the B1G had no guarantee that their conference champ was in? Maybe you would.
Sixteen teams is my magic number.
That's what the SEC wants; 16, with the same 5 automatic conference bids. The B1G's plan is a little wild. It hasn't really been discussed here which is probably a good thing.
Would you be OK if the B1G had no guarantee that their conference champ was in? Maybe you would.
I doubt there has been any time in the history of the NCAA football program as we know it that the Big 10 hasn't had one of the Top 10 teams in the Nation. I would have to check, but I doubt it. Understanding that, yes, I'd be OK with no guarantee but I don't envision that sort of format. I envision a format which precludes something like last year when the Big 10 had 4 teams and this year where the voters seem to be pushing for 5 SEC teams. Loading the bracket with one conference just seems unfair to everyone involved and I don't believe the teams included are really the best teams.

AP poll doesnt mater. Theres been big differences already and I expect the same to happen tomorrow.
Texas absolutely deserves to be ahead of Michigan and thats just a crazy conversation that they shouldnt. Michigan hasnt beaten anyone other than Washington which will make the OSU game extra funny
A good portion of the SEC actually wants no automatic bids for anyone. They know their teams will be there because of the talent they consistently get and dont want to see a team left out for a G5 team or an Iowa type team from autobids.
As for why the SEC teams are ranked so high its because they overall are the most talented. Their bottom tteams would be middle of the B!G which is and has been a very top heavy conference of 4 to 5 teams for years now and one of their premier teams PSU dropped off a cliff
As for why the SEC teams are ranked so high its because they overall are the most talented. Their bottom tteams would be middle of the B!G
It might make you feel good to post that except that it isn't true. The two Conferences are pretty close to being even right now, at least for the past few years. The problem that arises and makes it hard to have an in-season statement like that is that the teams really don't play that often during any regular season. Bowl season and the playoffs end up as the ultimate judge. The last 2-3 seasons haven't shown that the SEC is better than the Big 10 and doesn't support your fantasy statement. You should really stop making those sort of claims or I'll sic @coolstanley on you!! Do you really want that!!!

Past seasons dont matter with roster turnovers from NFL players and the transfer portal. Bowl games outside of the playoffs dont matter much either but are fun to watch. Injuries played a bit role the last few years
Bama and Oklahoma have already beaten two B!G teams this year and the Texas OSU game was very close. Theres a couple of B!G teams that are good, but its a top heavy conference and the SEC is flat out better top to bottom

This. There is zero evidence that Texas is better than Michigan. Texas isnt as good as they were last year, and Michigan is better this year than last year. All the 2 loss teams in the power 4 conferences should be ahead of any 3 loss team. Michigan has 2 losses on the road by ranked teams. Texas lost to a bad 3-7 team.

Wrong. Every game counts towards the final polls. Funny in the past you never failed to mention the bowl games whenever the sec won. Now all the sudden when they go 1-5 against the BIG TEN last year they dont matter?
i've never had a fav college team, but i think it's finally time i did. for the remainder of this season i'm gonna be an Ole Miss fan. i'm a Lane guy. brash, cocky, arrogant, mucho hubris, tells it like it is.........i dig it. and i love their powder blue unis. have you ever been to Mississippi? there's not much to write home about. that state deserves a chip. but i'm just not sure that they have enough in the arsenal to take out multiple big boys come playoffs time. they strike me as a solid O, suspect D kinda team. then again, they had Georgia by the throat in Athens, so the potential is there. let's do this.

@Maywood said:
Yeah, playing the best teams in the Nation at the end of the season!! It doesn’t get any better than this.
The B1G enforces a format that puts their conference at a bit of a disadvantage by having these conference games late. The B1G teams set themselves up poorly by playing their patsies early, which hurts their SOS and SOR metrics relative to SEC schools by the time the committee starts looking at these numbers for ranking the teams. The SEC builds that SOR and SOS early by playing a tougher conference schedule and then they coast in... usually... with their season solidified.
It's like my dogs. If you ever had Boxers you'll know the rare mix of smart and stupid this breed is. They used to run through screen doors. It was getting old... So we attached a tennis ball to a short rope so they could pull them open. Maybe the B1G should think about doing it smart instead of running through the door each year.
Next year the SEC will also have 9 conference games - same as B1G, but I don't think we're going to see this impact the overall performance of SEC teams. We just have to beat them when we play them and not make excuses.
