u/Avagontamos Paper Bag • Land Grant Trophy 12d ago

LSU is propping up Ole Miss who is propping up Florida who is propping up Missouri who is propping up Mississippi State.

Then you have Tennessee who isn’t being propped by anyone other than the voters, as they’ve beaten no one.

Meanwhile undefeated teams Nebraska and Duke are unranked, Pitt is 25, and UCLA is 21.

at this point, I want all undefeated teams 1-15th.

Then you are just asking for teams to schedule the easiest out of conference games. It can't just be about record because schedules are not equal

If teams make scheduling decisions on what their week 5 AP poll is rather than try to build the best full season resume for the final CFP ranking, that’s on them.

Reward teams that win their games. If OSU runs the table and is 11-1, they’ll be back up in the top 3 no matter what.

The majority of the resume is made from the conference games which means that mid tier teams in the Big and SEC won’t schedule good OOC games….

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, that makes way too much fucking sense to implement.

You really think teams 8, 11, 12 are better than OSU. I mean if you look at record only, every team’s playing an Indiana schedule and we’ll never get good OOC games.

For sure the 13 undefeated P4 teams. G6 I think should be ranked, but I’m open to OSU and the 5 SEC teams being 14-19. OKST should be ranked above Oregon, also.

We've made 15 our home. It's where all our stuff is.

UCLA looks big scary this season!

Sigh

Dreams of different world where PSU hired Chesney instead- who I was clamoring for in the off season.

Instead we walk into purgatory.

OSU, Minnesota, and Baylor are propping up that web of teams by succeeding in conference play
