It’s a silly argument. Losses are damn important. So are good wins. That’s why you power adjust SOS.

I think at least one of them results in a different winner.
Interesting that ND v IU was the closest and both have basically the same climate.
Next was UT v Clemson with basically the same climate.
The blowouts were the south coming north. So…
And don’t rank until week 5 or so.
I actually though that Columbus and Knoxville were more than 300-ish miles apart, btw. Didn't realise that Knoxville was so far North.Interesting that ND v IU was the closest and both have basically the same climate.

PSU/SMU probably not
ND/IU definitely not
UT/Clemson maybe
OSU/UT would maybe have biggest swing because the difference the Shoe and Neyland both make, but goddamn Tennessee looked completely overmatched today.
Partially because those teams earned home field by being better teams, partially because home field means different things in different places.
I'm not a big Klatt fan, but Joel is cookin' this weekend.
What? I love Klatt, IMO he is the single most knowledgeable
person in the media about college football, along with Bruce Feldman. What do you not like about Klatt?

Yeah, the committee got it all wrong, because... checks notes... every game was won by the team they ranked higher.

He's an incredibly dim bulb.
CFB got it wrong cuz

Teams that lost shouldn’t have even been given the opportunity to play for a ****ing National championship.
Has never seemed that genuine. Like he doesn't really believe in anything. Just the take that best suits him at that moment in time.
I agree with all of that and like him for the most part. But I get annoyed with him trying to be overly anti biased against CU and polishing Nebraska’s knob every chance he gets, which is weird.
Sucks he corrected that moron.
Lotta ****ing
I don't mind Klatt, but Feldman is great.
My late father-in-law used to complain that all the Catholic school kids when he was growing up were the worst in terms of using foul language.
I was always like, "what's the ****ing problem with that?"

SMU would have been a little closer because they wouldn't have F'd up so much, likely.
JMO - SMU and Tennessee struggled at least in part because of the cold. Southern teams never deal with it. Like at all. A lot of these kids grow up in the South, they play football exclusively in the South, and this was the first time they were playing in sub-freezing temps with winds whipping around.
I think there's a reason why the only Southern road team that had any kind of sustained success offensively was Clemson - they were playing in 60 degree, sunny weather.
The same thing would have happened to Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. I truly think that any SEC team that went to South Bend, Happy Valley, or Columbus would have gotten their asses beat.
I don't think it's sustainable to have every playoff game in a neutral site, but I think hone field is going to be huge in the years to come, especially with Southern teams who have to come north.

Agree to disagree. All the teams that lost shouldn’t have been in the playoffs. The cold just exacerbated the situation.
