Didnt even fall to 10, only dropped to 9, what a fucking joke.\They might as well just come out and say that losses basically don't count for SEC teams.

At this point might as well accept that the SEC is getting 2 teams in for sure, it's set up to well for it not to happen.

Hell the 3 SEC team scenario is still very much in play.
LSU beats UGA in the SECCG and TCU loses
Leaves just 1 undefeated P5 champ (B1G)
Bama will win out and their over inflated ranking will give a big boost to both LSU and Tennessee.

If ND should be higher than both in spite of more losses, shouldn’t both Stanford and Marshall be above Notre Dame?
I honestly don’t think there’s a good answer to such questions
…
It should make people stop and think though
There aren’t that many one-loss teams left
The B1G is the only conference with two undefeateds, but they have no one loss teams
The ACC has two one loss teams. They both took that loss to a 3-loss team that fell to Marshall.
That should have everyone giving that conference the side eye. It’s not proof of anything by itself, but it is certainly enough to make you suspect that the ACC just might be living up to their old name this year

UNC may be the worst 8-1 P5 team youll ever find.
122nd in total defense
2 Point win vs 5-4 App State
7 Point win vs 4-5 Georgia State
3 Point win vs 4-5 Miami
3 Point win vs 6-3 Duke (its Duke)
3 Point win vs 3-6 Virginia
and their loss was a 13 point home loss to ND, who was sputtering at the time, that was just 2 weeks after the Marshall loss and the week after they survived a bad Cal team.
Problem is ND still has 3 losses and one of them is to a 5-4 Sun Belt team and another is to a awful 3-6 Stanford team. I know they beat Clemson and UNC but those losses kind of makes it hard to put them ahead of teams with 1 and 2 losses.
UNC is probably ranked around where they should be, At least they arent seriously trying to push them into the top 10 like they are doing with Ole Miss. Whos another 1 loss team who is not nearly as good as their record.

It’s hard to believe UNC is only 122nd in total defense.
They managed to hold App St to only 40 points … in the 4th quarter.

Easily Amused by the Bitterly Disappointed
They were able to convince people that the Vols are an impossibly great team this year. They had them ranked at #1 and still sitting just outside the top four. Holy hell.
Again, they can do what they want when it comes to the SEC. When Bama becomes a shell of its former self, they’re standing by with the stamp of greatness for another team in the conference and counting those with wins against Bama as an automatic CFP contender.
They will feed you a million stories about Ohio State struggling with NW (Power 5, previous Big 10 Championship contenders, home field advantage) in 50mph winds and rain, then sweep Kent State (not P5, lost to Miami OH, went to OT with the Bobcats the following two weeks, on the road) putting up 22 on their #1 without a second thought about it.
Ohio State won by two touchdowns and only gave up 7 points in terrible conditions to a P5 team on the road. Think about that for a minute and really let it sink in before talking about teams struggling throughout the season.
They can keep living in denial about it all they want and try to convince everyone else to do the same, but what they’re doing is crystal clear to anyone even remotely paying attention.
The storyline is already written for pounding Indiana not making any difference at all because that’s what Ohio State should do. This all factors in to how they keep their SEC BS churning. Remind me what Missouri’s record is again and how their game against GA played out?
Ohio State did give up 21 to a non-P5 school this year, for what it’s worth. That team was Toledo, currently ranked #1 in the Mac West.
…The final score was 77-21.

I again refused to watch the CFP Rankings show, but while watching an actual game I saw on the ticker that Alabama was 4th in ‘game control’. So, they have 2 losses, they beat Texas on a last-minute field goal, and they would have lost to aTm if Jimbo’s nut-squeezers could have gotten 2 yards on the last play of the game.
So in 4 of their games they haven’t been ‘in control’ of the game at all, and somehow Bama is supposed to be 4th in the nation in ‘game control’. How is that remotely possible? I hope somebody on the committee is asking the people that feed them the metrics they use to determine the rankings how they come up with ‘game control’, because it sure seems rigged.

What happened to my ¤cash?
@DaddyBigBucks needs to come up with a new metric. I feel a tensorflow application may be required. I’ll work up the terraform to provision you an environment in Google Cloud and enable BiqQuery and Vertex for the ML. Let’s get at it!

Their "criteria" is all bullshit.
They just morph it to say whatever they want depending on the team they are talking about.
When it comes to the SEC teams they always find some bullshit run around arguments to critique them differently. "You can't hold losses against Tennessee and LSU against them" is pretty much what they are saying. Those losses for Bama count for less damage than "only" beating some big 12 team by like 10 points does for TCU.
Alabama is nowhere near their level they've been in recent years. It's obvious from watching them. But they don't dare drop them too far. Gotta keep using them to prop up Tennessee and LSU to keep 2 SEC teams (or even possibly 3 in this years case) in the playoff alive
