And if we had beat Purdue but lost Michigan we wouldn't have been in either just like 2015 but sure keep beating on Purdue

Irrelevant argument. I’m saying, and undefeated OSU gets in. Losing to bad teams screws you

Almost wins for SEC teams clearly count for more than actual wins by anyone else.

Apparently losing to Alabama is better for your resume' than not playing them at all.

Rose Bowl should be on Fox, right? Since neither conference has affiliation with ESPN.

So anything that invalidates your argument is irrelavant glad to see you use the ESPN style of argumentation here. Well I guess we are done here.

Rose Bowl has an ESPN deal as part of the Playoff:

I hope UCF pulls another stunner against the SEC. Fighting Herman’s get a shot at Georgia too.

Are you fucking serious? They get that fucking layup?

Christ.

Revenge tour indeed.

Almost wins against the consensus Number 1 team in the country should count less negatively than losing badly to a Purdue. Or to an LSU by 20 (in the Mutts's case). That is common sense. Conference ID should not be a factor, to be sure.

That should be an "and" not an "or"

That’s the issue. UGA wasn’t punished at all for losing by 20 to LSU. They dropped from 2 to 8. The SEC is held to a completely different standard than any other conference in college football because the only thing they do is cannibalize each other since they’re too busy playing SE Louisiana, Rice, Citadel, Furman, Austin Peay, etc in the non conference.

Big Ten teams never heard the end of it when they scheduled FCS teams in the past.

Just not a fan of how bad losses carry more weight with the committee than big wins--it rewards all the wrong kinds of behavior.

The question I'm wondering is whether Georgia got the pat on the back from the committee given that #5 vs. #6 is meaningless, or whether they really would've given Georgia the last spot if, say, ND had lost to USC in the season finale. if the answer to that is yes, then the committee should just be disbanded right now--a non-conference champ with two losses should never get in over a conference champ with only one loss, especially when that conference champ has better wins. That Georgia was ranked #5 and OSU ranked #6 is shameful enough--a lot of egg on the committee's face today, IMO.
