If Alabama v. Mizzou

Fact remains though that Ok St loses to FSU, Texas Tech lost to Arkansas, KSU lost to Auburn, West Virginia lost to Alabama and Texas lost to UCLA and BYU. Baylor and TCU have no marquee OCC victories. I just don't think a conference with that OOC resume deserves to have 2 teams in a 4 team playoff which is a very realistic possibility at this point.

See I like your points and I think you and I could go round and round and both be right in the arguements we're making.

I would rather have teams from a conference that dared to schedule those games vs teams that scheduleding sure wins. Bama OOC is WVU (in Atlanta), Florida Atlantic, Southern Miss, and Western Carolina. That looks a lot like a Cuse basketball OOC schedule that gets us blasted by the media every year. Bama's only marquee win is against an Mississippi State team who is dreadfully over ranked with an OOC of Southern Miss, UAB, South Alabama, and UT Martin. They are set to play a Mizzou team in the SEC championship game who lost the only P5 OOC game they scheduled at home to Indiana.

Where's the intent to prove your conference is the best in any of that? Instead they schedule for gaudy records which they know the pollsters will drool over. What would the pollsters do with FSU right now if they had scheduled WVU (in Tampa), Florida Atlantic, Southern Miss, and Western Carolina?

Agreed, that's what bothers me most about FSU being bumped down. They scheduled Oklahoma State, Florida and happen to play Notre Dame and are still 4th. I like to complain but the work the committee has done is pathetic.
 
I'd love a TOSU loss and an Urban explosion on the sideline. That's all I want for Christmas.

I'm with you. That, and Ohio getting swallowed into one giant sink hole that we can fill with water.
 
Yes because Arkansas would have had such a great chance to win in that situation :rolleyes:

My point is if they were rigging it for Alabama they would have probably done it at a much better time. And much more blatantly.
 
It's only my opinion but while FSU is undefeated, and for that they probably belong in the top 4, I don't think they are one of the four best teams in the country.

If Georgia Tech beats FSU then yes. If FSU beats Georgia Tech I'm skeptical, but all things considered in that situation I have to include FSU in my top 4 and probably ahead of TCU. All of the one loss teams other than Oregon and Alabama have issues that in the end makes it difficult for me to move any of those teams ahead of an undefeated FSU that beats Georgia Tech in the ACC championship game.
