Strength of Schedule (SOS) 24

Team B
SOR 13
SOS 44

Team C
SOR 14
SOS 45

I agree, based on that how is Vandy not in the discussion? One thing is certain, then B and C have resumes that close and played each other, you have to take the winner of that game. They actually did.

Miami is the better team in my opinion. But if you are going to have a SOS metric and SOR metric, you need to apply them consistently and not pick and choose when to use them.

My point is why was Miami seen as worthy flr playoff discussion and Texas and Vandy afterthoughts...

You’re trying to bring in SOS and SOR metric to validate your outcome. It’s really simple. Vandy had no ranked win, Miami did. That trumps it all.

12 teams is just a money grab. The first round is pretty much pointless

If they would get the 12 best teams it wouldn’t be pointless. If you had Notre Dame, Texas or Vandy in there instead of 2 sacrificial lambs going to Eugene and Oxford it would be much better . Notre Dame at Oregon. Sign me up. Texas with Arch going to play at Oxford. Yep I’m watching. I’m gonna watch bc I’m a college football fanatic, but I’m not not gonna plan around those 2 games . The Saturday 3:30 and night game are going to put up terrible #’s.

Vandy finished the season with no wins over ranked teams. Miami did. The fact you’re trying to invoke another data point to prop Vandy up shows you’re losing.

Also Texas having multiple top 10 wins trumps the Florida loss. Add in the head to head over Vandy and it was crystal clear Vandy had no shot.

Top 25 is arbitrary too. They could have just as easily placed us and Mizzou at 24 and 25 and this is a different argument.

The funny thing about all do this is had Texas just scheduled a cupcake instead of Ohio State; they’d be the one getting and Alabama would have been left out.

Basically, Bama bumped ND. Miami was likely in either way. You had Bama (9), ND (10), BYU (11), and Miami (12).

Bama gets curbstomped in Atlanta. Same for BYU. So the CFP logic is that BYU loses a conference champ game by 27 points, and drops 1 spot, to #12.

Bama loses by 21 points in Atlanta...and sits pat. ND somehow drops a spot for not playing, and somehow Miami vaults up 2 spots for doing the same exact thing.

Yeah, there's a dead cat in that room. Simple as that.

Then the G5 conferences have nothing to play for - just cancel their season make the P4 teams play each other rather than scheduling the G5 teams.

BYU also laid a goose egg a second straight game to Tech. It was more than just they lost and dropped because they are Big 12 school

I mean, we get to watch James Madison get blown out in Eugene rather than see ND play at Ole Miss (I assume they’d be 11 and Tulane 12).

For my money, ND vs Ole Miss is just better football than JMU vs Oregon, but I get the CFP doesn't exist without the "automatic bids."

It's a flawed system but so am I.

Not sure. OU had much tougher schedule plus head to head over Bama which put them 8.

OU had Texas, Bama, Ole Miss, Michigan plus us.

We only had 4 teams with a pulse.

OU would have had their 3rd loss if we beat them. That would be the difference. So they would have lost to at least three teams (Ole Miss, Texas and Tennessee) - sound familiar?

Michigan ended up losing to OSU - so not the team you think they are.

I was thinking we'd have a separate CFP lineup thread, but if not, it looks good enough to me.

I'm just glad it's not way worse. Only one 3 loss team! It's good enough.
