@AriWasserman the fact that you're just talking about Alabama is telling. Texas is also ranked above FSU. And if the rankings are to be believed - if Georgia had beaten alabama - then TExas would have been the 4 not FSU.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@AriWasserman the committee's criteria EXPLICITLY says they are supposed to prefer conference champions when ranking comparable teams.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@GrahamCoffeyDC the committee's criteria explicitly says they have to prefer conference champions when comparing comparable teams.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@DawgStats I disagree, and my opinion is based on data. the playoff committee ranked texas higher than FSU, and the outcome of Alabama Georgia has no bearing on that decision. The counter opinion is based on a non-verifiable conspiracy theory, I cannot meaningfully interrogate

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@DawgStats Fact matter dude. Texas ALSO got in over a 13-0 conference champ WHO WAS RANKED HIGHER AND WON.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@AriWasserman if you look at the process the committee is given to follow, they are supposed to consider how key injuries affect the competitiveness of the teams. you're essentially asking the committee to ignore the criteria that was agreed upon by the conferences.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@HBTFD89 @DawgStats so explain Texas' jump from 7 to 3

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

a national reporter who doesn't understand how the committee does their playoff rankings.

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

@AaronSuttles If there is one available spot, and one 12-1 Power 5 champion beat the other 12-1 Power 5 champion, it should get in. That’s why people aren’t worked up about that.

The committee said FSU was different w/o Travis, so it makes sense CFP could seed UT above FSU. But keep FSU in.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@NicoleAuerbach @wahoolaw2006 @AaronSuttles ok so then your gripe is with the PROCESS that the committee has been given. not the DECISION of the committee.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@NicoleAuerbach it's explicitly in the committee's criteria...

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@aaronmurray11 you haven't read the criteria. the committee is required to give preference to conference champions. #uninformed.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@JChrisFree @alex_kirshner they are required to give strong preference to conference champions. actually read their criteria, and the rankings make total sense.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@alex_kirshner undefeated P5 conference champions HAVE been ranked below 1-loss P5 conference champions by the committee before.

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@DawgStats @TylerHuck Texas is also ranked above FSU...

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@friendlyblkrad so brave

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@ESPN_BillC Texas is also ranked above Florida State and they're not even mentioned...

[Chad Meadows @ChadwickD]

@alex_kirshner the committee followed the criteria that was agreed upon by the conferences. they rewarded conference championships and used strength of schedule, record against common opponents, head to head, and took into account injuries to key players. it's spelled out in their guidance.

[The Bulldawg Report @ReportBulldawg]

Alabama is still the standard in College Football.

Georgia is 1-5 vs Alabama under Kirby Smart.
