The Blue Board

You're a shit-stirring lottery pick, NoVa. Love it. You're nuttier than squirrel turds too, but I love it.

Totally agree with this list, this is how rankings should be done - analyze the match ups and don't go full retard. I never understood how a team A can be ranked ahead of teams B,C n D for half of a season, then team A loses 1 game and all of a sudden everyone (voters) does a 180 and decides that teams B,C and D are better/could beat team A and jump ahead in the rankings. Kinda dumb IMO.

I don't have a clear cut number 1 tho. I'd almost make the top 4 here teams 2 a) through d) tho, most of those match ups are a toss up. If anything I bump KSU down but that's just because I haven't watched em enough. I do know that Arthur Brown is a fricken tank tho, I think he's top 3 in the country right now as far as LBs.

We're a nearly 100% results oriented society. Say Team A goes out and plays the #15 ranked SOS and loses two times, once to the #8 team on the road and the #3 team at home. Then say you have Team B who plays the #75 ranked SOS and has lost only once, to an unranked opponent. 99% of the time, Team B will be ranked ahead of Team A simply because 1 loss < 2 losses. I'm not trying to make a case for a one loss team to be in over an undefeated or anything like that, nor am I saying that winning isn't important (hell, this is football; it's the most important). But we talk all season about hundreds of stats and factors and then, at the end of the day, act like everything's a simple, black and white decision.

And it's funny that the winning-trumps-all mentality only counts for certain teams. I don't remember too many people championing for Louisville leading up to their first loss.

how to fix NCAA football

each team plays 8 conference games. in large conferences, they should use ascendency, such as the Premier League does in soccer.

after these 8 games, set up a 64 team tourney like the NCAA tournament.

no team gets a bye or plays any crappy high schools.

crown a real champion

LSU ranking is absolutely terrible.

They are offensively inept. Great defense but an equally bad offense does not = top 5 team.

LMFAO!!!

Eh.

I think Oregon and K State could possibly swing that, but ND loses both games. FWIW, if ND is undefeated at the end of the year, it will suck to see them left out, IMO.

Still think someone will lose though.

I think his point is accurate. The voters (people) think FSU should be ranked higher. It's the computers that don't get logic.

LSU's offense is inept, yet they racked up something like 435 yards total offense against Alabama's defense. Just part of the reason the OP's rankings are ridiculous. I also laugh at anybody who thinks Alabama would manhandle Oregon considering Texas A&M just ran over their defense with a similar style offense and similar style quarterback

Logic isn't your strong suit, I know. A&M played great and made just about every play. Swoope or Swope or whomever hasn't made that many huge catches on prefect throws by Manziel WHEN IT MATTERED all year. We have not played our best games the last two weeks and we've had to take the opposition's best punch both times. We were good enough one week, not the other.

The thing people have to remember - and most do - is that your margin for error in college football is so small. It's the only system that allows JUST TWO people to play for the big one. Next year, it will be only four, which is only slightly better.

A&M was a tough out coming off a tough, physical win on the road at our home-away-from-home. We're still a great team - just not perfect, and it ain't over yet.

Yes, I'll take our chances against Oregon or anyone with 5-6 weeks of bowl preparation.

Keep doing your sphincter muscle exercises, tranny25. It's coming in a coupla weeks.

No excuses were offered. Ha, you never disappointed. As I said, LSU and aTm played great and we were good enough to win one, but not both. No BS excuses. We haven't played well enough to have a perfect record. Can you wrap your little mind around this?
