What really matters and much more accurate than committee rankings

1. Alabama Crimson Tide: 12-0
2. Ohio State Buckeyes: 11-1
3. USC Trojans: 9-3
4. Washington Huskies: 11-1
5. Clemson Tigers: 11-1
6. Michigan Wolverines: 10-2
7. Wisconsin Badgers: 10-2
8. Penn State Nittany Lions: 10-2

Obviously anybody can argue all day on this stuff... the only thing that sticks out to me is that Michigan should be #2 or #3 with Ohio St.

Yes Michigan lost, but they dominated most of the game. I think there is a drop off from Mich & OSU to whatever (Wash USC Clemson)

[rizespor]

No Florida St? Noles would be favored on neutral field over 3-8 except maybe clemson

That being said... I think vegas bookmakers should be the committee. They know the best four teams far better than a collection of clowns

Michigan better not get in

is that the criteria though? the 4 "best teams"? what if USC had lost 1st 5 games and then been dominant thereafter?.

surely there's some season achievement aspect to this too.

How the hell does a book still have USC with the 3rd best odds to win championship? Lol. They're done, 3 losses. There's like 5 or 6 teams that would get in before USC.

[Mackballs]

How much will the committee value conference champions?

[reigle9]

They're as of now, which matters 0.

Get your douchebag clueless light bulb out of here.

[jjgold]

Wash in now regardless

[Enkhbat]

So Alabama, Ohio State and Washington are locks to be in the playoffs now, who will be the 4th team?

my interpretation was that those are power ratings............ vegas thinks USC is the 3rd best team in the country (right now) and without alot of thought i'd say they may be right............. the playoffs are based on season achievement i believe. very different.
