    So, Texas A&M is #4

    The Washington Huskies just became the world's biggest LSU fans. A&M does not appear to have any major obstacle before the finale vs. LSU, if Aggies win out, they probably lock out an undefeated Washington team. I don't get why commentators say Washington is in good shape and that they control their own destiny. I think SEC Champ, ACC Champ and Big Ten Champ will be in as long as none of those have more than one loss, only one spot is really up for grabs.

    Doesn't mean anything. If Washington runs the table, they'll be in. The committee has proven the only poll that matters is the last one

    I knew Washington wouldn't be in the top 4. Basically the same thing they did to Baylor the last few years.

    Huskies wouldn't jump them winning out then Pac 12 final you don't think? That's another decent win on their resume.

    USC is USC, big name. Wash State is ranked at the moment would be a good win then a final against what would be another ranked team.

    Aggies have LSU. If LSU beats Bama then I could see it.

    Do we really need to see A&M vs Alabama part 2? The world knows what will happen

    we don't know what will happen with Bama vs Washington or Louisville (ok we prob do but whatever)

    big difference with Washington is they have a title game not some one true champion horse shit. A&M won't even have won their division.

    Washingtons resume only gets better by winning. Not much else A&M can do especially if LSU goes south

    Absolute SEC and Big 10 smear job. This committee should be walked outside and fired on the spot. Texas A&M at #4 after losing by 19 points already this year???? They have ONE win over a ranked team and it was Auburn early in the year when they weren't nearly as good as they are now. Don't even get me started on Penn State...

    an undefeated PAC 12 team should not be below a one loss TAM team. TAM just played sister Mary school of the blind and beat a Tennessee team in OT that lost to SC and needed a Hail Mary to be beat Georgia...fukk the aggies

    washington played a terrible non-conference schedule. If they stay undefeated, they are in. But, if they have one loss but still wins the pac 12 tournament, it would not be surprising if a 1 loss ohio state/michigan or louisville pass them over.

    Awe , played right into their (ESPN , Committee ) hands.
    Stir the pot, increase ratings , get the talking started since NCAAF is down this year and not many power 5 left undefeated , all the while they know this poll didn't mean 2 shits.
    They did it , excellent job yet again by them
    They're getting good at this

    But what if A&M also runs the table? Why would Washington pass them with Aggies having stronger schedule.

    They know if Bama wins 2 more , A&M is toast . They wouldn't even win their own division.
    So this poll really doesn't mean that much.
    That last week if it's Clemson , Bama, Michigan , Texas A&M, and Washington.
    A&M is gone and nobody can say a word , it would be expected with the other 4 playing a title game whether against a great opponent or not .
    Just making it relevant this early is all they did

    The committee are a bunch of retard monkeys; they should be eliminated and the top four teams in the AP poll should make the playoffs.

    Washingtons schedule sucks. Stanford isnt good this year. So their only good win would be Utah

    Texas A&M, which has only lost to No. 1 Alabama, was slotted at No. 4 ahead of unbeaten Washington due to strength of schedule, CFP Selection Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said. Hocutt cited Texas A&M's four wins against teams with .500 or better records, compared to two for Washington, as the reason the Aggies' edged the Huskies.

    "Washington is a well-balanced team and they had a good win last week on the road against Utah," Hocutt said. "But in the committee's mind, Texas A&M has played a stronger schedule."

    Hocott said the committee had a lot of discussion between No. 2 Clemson and No. 3 Michigan; and between No. 4 Texas A&M, No. 5 Washington, No. 6 Ohio State and No. 7 Louisville.

    SEC bias

    When all the SEC teams are pre-season top 10, schedule cupcake non-conference games and then the only games they lose are in conference against other "top 10" teams, your losses naturally don't hurt you as bad


    Remember when OU kicked the shit out of Alabama 2 years ago in the bowl game

    The SEC hype train is just a product of ESPN

    Exactly. People freaking out over this but it literally means nothing. At least two teams will be out of the picture by December. Move along, folks

    In that scenario, there would still be two SEC teams in Playoff assuming that is only Alabama loss.

    LSU would be SEC Champs in that scenario, no? So nothing to complain about there and a one-loss non-champion Alabama would get in over both Washington and Louisville.

    Not necessarily when that conference is the Pac-12 and the team you are competing with hails from the mighty SEC. I am not saying it is right, it just is what it is. Fact that A&M is starting ahead of Huskies is an indication of that. And also fact that Big 12 champ will not even sniff the playoffs shows that winning conference is not the be-all, end-all.

    But the thing is, even if a couple of the teams lose, whoever wins the SEC, Big Ten and ACC will still comprise three of the teams (as long as they have no more than one loss), so again, there is really just one spot that is in doubt.

    tam is only ahead because washington hasnt won the conference yet. early rankings dont mean anything because if teams have similar records conference champions always get the edge.

    "a committee that will be instructed to place an emphasis on winning conference championships, strength of schedule and head-to-head competition"

    so if two teams have similar records they will look for for conference champs then if they are both conference champs they will look at their schedules and head to head if they played each other.

    big 12 and pac 12 champs need at least 2 losses each for a non conf champ to get in. they might even need 3 losses if the committee deems 11-1 records to be comparable to 11-2 records.

    the major conferences wouldnt let fairness choose the playoff teams when money is involved. its set up so that 4 conference champs will always get the playoff spots.

    I don't know why anyone is worrying about it. It's the first poll, and by the end of the season there will only be one or two undefeated teams left, if any. All I know is if all five of those teams win out then Washington will move ahead of Texas A&M because if there is one thing the committee has shown is conference champions trump teams that didn't win a conference title. An undefeated Washington PAC 12 champ will be in.

    one spot in doubt is really all we need, for Washington if they win the PAC 12. SEC, Big ten and acc spots will play out. It'll be fine
