  • Hell, USC should be in before Alabama.

    • No.

      • Yes. Conference champ. Two losses #13 ND and #19 Wash State on the road.

        A better resume than AL.

        • Again, disagree. Alabama is a better team. One loss. #6 Auburn on the road. The same loss Georgia has.

          They want the best team. That's why they did not make the conference championship a requirement.

          • It is a consideration (and should have been a requirement)

            • If the Tide could schedule a team more taxing than Mercer, they would have a better argument.

              • Sure, it's a consideration - just like how many losses, how you lost, good wins, and a full review of stats.

                I strongly disagree that it should be a requirement. We will never agree on this. And that's okay. It's academic, anyway. Auburn lost, so, Ohio State will jump Bama from #8 to #4.

                As an aside, Ohio State was the first non-confernce champion to get in and now they will be the first two-loss team to get it. BUCKEYE MAGIC!

                • Ohio State should not have been in last year, either.

                    Our SOS is nearly identical to Ohio State's. We scheduled Florida State and Fresno State OoC.

                    What's funny is, FSU-West Coast is better than FSU-East Coast. No one woulda thunk that when Florida State was a top 5 team heading into the season.

                      Yeah, you mentioned your opinion on last year already.

                          • Personally, dislike the "Goliath of college football" (Alabama) as much as anyone, but Bama is better than USC.
                            Wins vs:
                            - FSU. With Francois, they are a better team. How did Clemson do this season with their backup QB? Oh yea, lose to Syracuse. Losing a starting QB can hurt. Look at the NFL with the Texans and Packers losing their starting QBs. Kills a season.
                            - Miss St. Nick Fitzgerald still starting.
                            - LSU. Hey now, Troy is the Sun Belt champ? They are always a talented squad.
                            - Fresno St. They are in a close game vs Boise St to win MW. Boise St nearly beat WSU.
                            - Overall style points of how they beat Arkansas, Tennessee, Vandy...

                            Close loss on the road at Auburn > losses on the road at ND, at WSU.
                            But yes, USC got an extra game to beat Stanford.

                            End of the day, if you have to bet $1,000 on Bama vs USC at a neutral field with no spread... you'd pick Bama.

                              • And, CGVT, you mentioned Danielson shilling for Bama. This Fox crew is evening the score on that.
