Thanks for that. I'm turning this crap off until then.

I disagree with the top 4. To me, it should have been FSU # 3 and Alabama # 4, although I could see the argument for Texas at #4. The reality is that FSU deserved it as an undefeated P5 team with the schedule they had. I think it’s much more difficult to win the SEC than the B12 (duh) so I would give more credit to a season than a head to head game in week 2. I am confident that both Georgia and OSU are better than Texas.
Let’s hope the committee follows AP and Coaches poll in that both have SMU above Liberty.
The committee just said (to FSU) that going undefeated doesn’t matter. They better say that to Liberty, too.

I think it’s different going undefeated in a P5 conference than in a very weak conference USA, plus not even playing a single P5 team. I get the similarities on the undefeated argument, but I think the reason for leaving FSU out was they lost their QB. Which by the way, I hope they don’t use the same argument against us. That’s my concern. I think strength of schedule should matter, and Liberty has the weakest schedule. I discount their undefeated argument heavily given they played nobody.

Apparently the ACC is one of 3 conferences that did NOT want to move the expanded playoffs up to this season.

I find it interesting/annoying that both polls put us only 1 place above Liberty. I just can't wrap my head around the idea that actual college coaches think Liberty is better than Oklahoma State, Oregon State, Tennessee and Tulane (I might give them JMU).

At best, Liberty finishes 5th in the American this year, behind not only us and Tulane but also Memphis and UTSA.

Mountain Mustang wrote:Does this foreshadow SMU/Liberty decision? Committee showed they value best team/eye test more than just wins (good for SMU) but also showed they value injuries (not good for SMU with Stone going down a la Jordan Travis). Liberty has a soft conference/SOS and no great win. Hopeful!
Thought about that immediately — hope you're right about the first part.

This committee is a joke. No one should allow them in Dallas ever again.

All these committee members should get fired. Bunch of idiots. So angry and disappointed.
