Say things do go awry this weekend and UNC beats Clemson. The committee is going to have to send a message to somebody and some situation, the question will be what behavior will they reinforce?

Stanford - If they win they are a conference champion, which has seemed to be the biggest clout from the committees decision. However, they also are a 2 loss team that should be penalized for losing twice. Put them in and they are saying "it's okay to lose multiple games, just win your conference and you are in."

Ohio State - played sleepy-eyed all season but managed to win a share of their division. They played a solid OOC schedule but lost on a last second FG late in the year. Putting us in waters down the notions of winning your conference is everything.

UNC - Thought they have only 1 loss, they also have played 2 FCS opponents and lost to a terrible SC team. Putting them in would reinforce that you can schedule the NC A&T's and Delaware's of the world, romp through an extremely weak conference division (and conference) and still get in.

At the point the Committee has to be praying that everything stays status quo so that next week is easy on them.

This is a great point, they've constantly made an example out of Baylor for poor OOC scheduling by not ranking them above other teams, and they play in the Big 12 which is a good bit stronger overall then the ACC.

If they stay consistent UNC gets the same treatment as Baylor...... (which so far they have, with them being the lowest rated 1 loss team last week)

This is the one that the media is blasting you guys with. The "they didn't play a single ranked team all year, then when they did, they got beat" mantra.

They say, "Look at Bammer, PAWWWWWL!!! They went 5-1 against ranked teams all year long!"
They say, "Look at Clemson! They played two ranked teams and beat em."
They say, "Look at Oklahoma! We went 5-0 against ranked teams and won the conference!"

That's the argument they have against you guys. Not to disrespect, but the OOC schedule wasn't too impressive for you guys this year. That's because you didn't play mighty Charleston Southern, Louisiana-Monroe, Wofford, Illinois State or Lamar (the school, not Odom).

Well considering Ohio State went 1-1 against top 10 oppponents, I'm not worried at all about their opinion on ranked matchups.

As for the OOC schedule. I see your sarcasm, but my response to everyone that does actually question our OOC, please tell me out of Stanford, UNC, and Ohio State which one of them didn't lose in their OOC games.

I see Paul Finebaum giving us a ton of love (odd) and Danny Kennel propping up his beloved ACC (as expected) on CFB daily.

Edit: I have no beef with stanford or Alabama. Those 2 are locked in. Our opposition right now is UNC and Stanford.

SOS rankings are incredibly flawed

Basically Bama gets credit for beating a "#2" LSU team.....and we all know now that LSU isn't very good

That's like saying if you beat the "#1" team in week 1 you can still bolster about beating "#1" even though that team at the end of the year ends up 6-6.

And considering basically all of the SEC teams that were ever ranked this year were based off of the crap preseason rankings that were based on nothing but biased speculation (OMG SEC!!!!! THEY MUST BE GOOD!) it makes it even more comical.

I will always have a beef with Bammer. If not because SECEspin has their head fully up Saban's rectum, it's because Kiffin is there.
Little Mama Kiffin should have jumped on his neck, not his foot.

Exactly. Preseason polls need to be done away with period.....if they want to have an AP and Coaches poll at least wait until halfway through the season to put the first one out so you at least have SOMETHING to base it off of besides speculation.

Because they'd have to rank all the undefeated teams...including the mid-major ones too.
It's just another way to keep hands out of the cookie jar that the bully big brother doesn't think deserves any.

That's true.

The pas 2 years in particular have been a total joke though, especially when it comes to the SEC.

SEC teams clearly overranked in preseason.....get way too much credit for "beating up" on eachother then....which leads to more over inflated overrating for that conference. At least the CFP committee this year has mostly seen beyond that BS.

If McElwain can get any kind of offense together to win the SEC Championship game, it would be another reason for the SEC homers to scream through the butthurt.

SEC country might explode if Florida somehow finds a way to win.

You know the cries of "ITS NOT A LEGIT PLAYOFF BECAUSE NO SEC!!!!!" would be heard loudly.
