Those teams would be more heavily penalized for that loss.
What is the weighting for each part of the criteria?
I'm sick of the SEC. I root against Alabama all the time - and it pisses me off when they pull yet another game out of their ass. But anyone who thinks that Florida State is better than Alabama right now is either kidding themselves - or they didn't watch the games.

Explain FSU being 4th in last week's rankings.
I watch the games. Neither team seems like a juggernaut to me.
Why did Bama not get punished for an ugly win over Auburn?

The committee basically said that last Tuesday-FSU was four and Alabama was four spots behind them.
I hate what TV has done to this sport.

No weighting. Which of the five criteria favored FSU over Bama?
True. But two sh*t games is much better evidence than one.

Then Bama beat UGA. And UDub beat Oregon. So FSU and Bama became comparable.

Shouldn't teams actually be rewarded for winning without their starters?
Shouldn't the fact that UGA was missing their whole receiving corp reflect negatively on Bama since they only won by 3

As evidenced by Alabama not being punished for needing a miracle to beat an Auburn team that had lost by 3 touchdowns at home to New Mexico State the week before.
Michigan should have jumped Georgia last week as well.

Exactly and last I checked bama has a big fat L and FSU does not. I don't even like FSU but **** this.Shouldn't teams actually be rewarded for winning without their starters?

They were the lowest ranked one-loss team. Below them were Missouri, Penn State, OIe Miss, and Oklahoma (all with two losses). How do you propose they should have been "punished" by the lackluster game against Auburn?
Since wins are not a criteria, you can rank two-loss teams above them.

By being kept out of the playoff?

Lackluster efforts aren’t disqualifying, nor should they be. BC.By being kept out of the playoff?
It just seems to me we should use the five criteria, like the Committee did.
By being kept out of the playoff?
But then they beat Georgia in a conference championship game. That is why they are in.

Because Alabama beat a team who played a non-conference schedule that included Ball State, UAB, and Tennessee-Martin?
Posters acting like Alabama limped into the playoff.
Hank forgetting Bama needed a "4th and a mile" miracle to get to 11-1.

That means about as much to me as Oregon being a 10 point favorite over Washington going into Friday.Who Vegas still favors over FSU by 13 points!

SOS is important when teams are comparable. Bama has a better SOS than FSU. That includes the teams you mentioned.

Vegas also favored Oregon over Washington by nine so I don't see your point.Who Vegas still favors over FSU by 13 points!
I thought the 1994 Buffs were severely overrated. People didn't account for the Hail Mary. Take that away, they were pretty mediocre.

Washington should have jumped both of them. They have as many top 25 wins as Michigan and Georgia combined do IIRC. Smaller issue, but another ****-up in these rankings.

All it says is that the system is a joke.
