Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1246101, member: 2585"] You're applying the way things worked previously to how they will work in they playoff era. You may be right - but that would cut against everything the committee has stated publicly and has shown by the shuffling of teams during this first season. The preseason polls mean nothing in the playoff era. As it should be. Losing their influence and playing things out on the field is exactly why I cared about games not involving Syracuse in the first time for a long time. All conferences should schedule according to winning games against good OOC teams to bolster both team and conference strength. TCU didn't get in because they didn't have a conference title game (so they are down a quality game vs a good team). Go ahead and cling to the old way if you want. But in the new era, you schedule good teams to show how good you are - and you stop relying on the past and meaningless metrics from previous seasons. [/QUOTE]
