Week 14 FBS Games for Dec 1-2

[NineOneSeven]

devils advocate…being undefeated isn’t in the criteria.

Conference champ is. Which that undefeated team is.

 

[BomberOrange]

Join me on hot take island where I declare Washington should be left out.

Their best OOC game was home vs Boise

They were 9.5 dogs in their conference championship game, so not even viewed as the best team in their conference

That conference doesn't exist anymore so are they really conference champs?

They beat Oregon 2x, they’re in

 

[NineOneSeven]

FSU could still lose though. But if they win, and it will be against a top 15 team, you simply cannot leave them out. Literally an undefeated conference champion. What are we talking about here?

 

[djcon57]

Conference champ is. Which that undefeated team is.

Right but Bama and Texas are conf champ as well

 

[SWC75]

My little grey cells are ready!

 

[zjscuse]

Man smu looks good, didn’t realize they were having that nice of a season. I really hope the acc continues to build on this expansion. They could really position themselves well if they aren’t stupid.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Right but Bama and Texas are conf champ as well

With a loss. And currently behind FSU. If they jump them it’ll be insane.

Agree. If FSU wins really ugly and gets in over the inevitable SEC massive bellyaching, how does that affect their view on bolting the ACC?

 

[Scooch]

Meanwhile, it’s gonna be SMU vs Liberty for the G5 NY6 berth.

SMU should get it. Liberty’s schedule is a joke.

 

[NineOneSeven]

If you want to use some stupid computer system to justify leaving a 13-0 school from a major conference out, then just go back to the BCS.

* shrug *

that’s not the criteria. I’m not agreeing or disagree. Just saying what I think it will be

Deal

It’s kinda the criteria though, isn’t it? I thought the committee has said they favor undefeated P5 conference champs.

 

[SURules]

If FSU and Michigan win

Then it should be Michigan/FSU/Washington/Texas

If Michigan wins and FSU loses

Michigan/Washington/Texas/Alabama

If both Michigan and FSU lose

Washington/Texas/Alabama/Georgia

I completely agree but I can never see the committee leaving out an SEC team so they drop Georgia to #3 and they stay in.

What’s the criteria? Is it shown somewhere? Conference champ yes. How about…. Not losing a game. Haha.

Yes I see what you’re saying but….not losing?!

“The selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents to decide among teams that are comparable.”

 

[690West]

I can’t see the committee leaving out an SEC team. Bama is going to jump FSU even if they win tonight.

ZEEEEERO percent chance undefeated conference champ is left out. Zero

 

[kirbivore]

Meanwhile, it’s gonna be SMU vs Liberty for the G5 NY6 berth.

SMU should get it. Liberty’s schedule is a joke.

Much like UGA’s OOC was a joke. They should not get in over Texas

 

[djcon57]

No, W/L record isn’t necessarily in the criteria

FSU also beat two SEC schools including LSU this year.

sure and that factors into the SOS….which is much worse than Texas and Bama

It’s naïveté like I’ve never seen before. It’s trolling to think an undefeated conference champ is left out. It’s not happening. And frankly I’m embarrassed that people are making the argument.

 

[Scooch]

No, W/L record isn’t necessarily in the criteria

Sure, but conference champ is. And no unbeaten champ has ever been left out.

I mean I’d laugh my butt off if FSU got left out. But it’d be horse puckey.

 

[syrBossHogg]

It's bad for the sport if an undefeated P5 team gets left out IMO. Not saying it's the committee's job to think about the future, but it's only going to further kill interest

FSU is seen as weak now though so who knows how this plays out, if FSU wins tonight, they should be in but who knows.
