Notre Dame being in the top 4 pisses me off

Notre Dame being in the top 4 pisses me off

me too, and the committee dude just said that they are "Solidly in spot 4"... 

 

[dragicon]

The badgers are at spot number 25, and their two losses are to Bama and Iowa... Both in the top 5.  I don't get that either.  

 

[MVP]

Only way the Irish don't get in is them losing to Stanford of course or OKST wins out, if OU wins the Big 12 that debacle against TX will do them in.

Right now the rankings make sense based on where they have other teams in their own rankings now. They aren't really taking into consideration where they were at the time the game was played.

I'm miffed about Ohio State. They have beat nobody. NOBODY.

Now I'm not saying they aren't talented and whatever, but how can you possibly put them over Iowa and Oklahoma State? Granted, these rankings are meaningless, but Ohio State has done nothing to justify their #3 ranking.

They're the champs though, so we know they're legit. But I agree that their schedule has been weak, put that same team in different uniforms and they aren't sniffing the final four

Defending champs always get the benefit of the doubt see FSU last year. tOSU will either sink or swim based on the last 3 weeks as will everyone else.

Lets talk about Bama... The committee guy said that a thing that hurts UNC (which they ranked 17th) is that they have played 2 FBS schools... Who else has done that? Alabama will have after this upcoming week.  Alabama has beaten 2 top 25 teams so far this season (LSU & UW), and lost to the 23rd ranked team of Ole Miss... Why are they ranked above teams like Iowa, and Oklahoma st?

They haven't beaten anyone though. I know tOSU hasn't either but they started high. Wisconsin didn't start high and wasn't ranked at one point. I don't think they have enough quality left to rise much more.

 

[witnesskb24]

And tOSU could potentially play three top 10 teams in a row (I'm assuming Michigan will be close to top ten by next week)

It's quite simple they have had the toughest schedule in the country out of those teams by far so far. They beat Wisconsin worse than Iowa and beat 3 top 10 teams at the time 2 on the road. Yes they lost to Ole Miss but their overall body of work is probably the best in the country and they've dominated damn near everyone lately. I'm surprised they're not number 1 honestly.

I agree. I thought their win over Miss State would put them 1. They're playing better than anyone right now. That ole miss loss was garbage, they damn near came back and won.

When comparing them to UNC it's clear they have WAY better wins than them

 

[MVP]

I'll try to find the opponents win loss record pic from earlier to show just how much better of a schedule Bama has played than everyone else, it's crazy.
