The Ridiculousness that is the 4 team playoff

[Gator Fever]

Baylor lost to WVU
TCU lost to Baylor which is higher ranked than WVU

I get the reasoning. They have no conf championship game. Who is each loss to? Head to head? I guess not.

The committee guy after the release said it is just what it is now and if other things are close at the end head to head would possibly be the determining factor.

Sounds good to me

It is way too early to complain about the polls. There are still 4 weeks of games to be played and the rankings will look different a month from now. So far there is no reason as to why the 4 team playoff is insufficient.

Ultimate SEC scenario is Bammer slipping by Cowbell this week then both winning out.

Bottom line, Semenholes lose one and they are done.

The problem with 8 is teams like fsux would be able to play for it every single year. Lets be real, if fsux loses 2 games in a year that's a disastrous year for them in that joke of a conference. I'm bring serious. When we are back up and running the only real teams they may play are us, Miami maybe and Clemson is good every 3 years or so. It's actually easier than ever for them with this 4 team one now. Play sisters of the poor and just be unimpressive and be rewarded at 4th spot. Your in.

Only vote that matters is the last one.

In the final poll, teams will get credit for winning various championships. A one loss Semenhole team will be in the playoffs.

If it's not clear whether you are arguably #4 vs #5, you have no argument that you are a national championship contender. That will be a team with a bad loss, a late loser of a championship game, something like that. I don't carry if the piss and moan about finishing 5th instead of 4th. Want to be a champion? Win.

Strongly disagree. They have nobody ranked to play. One loss absolutely kills their chance, even with an acc championship. It's why they keep slipping even though they are undefeated

The clowns dropped below a one loss team. That shows you what the people in charge think of their "amazing" streak. A one loss nole team will PLUMMET in the rankings. Nolie fans are having a rude awakening this year realizing that they actually have to play some teams to get to the championship and that W/L isn't everything anymore.

You're outside of of your mind if you believe this

You think a one loss ACC champion, who happens to be the defending champion would be left out of the playoff?

Absolutely

 

[Ray Finkle]

Again, remember their one loss would be to an UNRANKED team. A big bad acc championship wouldn't save them, may put them back in the top 10

We used to be ranked

no I don't think that, I know they wouldn't get in. It's all about who you play there's too many 1 loss teams with better resumes.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Previous accomplishments should have zero baring on the committee, it it's obvious that's the way they feel too

Solid contribution

Thanks
