@bryce Can’t wait to see how they each try to lose. Should definitely bet the under.

“Perhaps the greatest charity comes when we are kind to each other, when we don’t judge or categorize someone else, when we simply give each other the benefit of the doubt or remain quiet. Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped.”

Objectively, how do you defend this:

Miami (10–2)
– ESPN SOS: 45
– ESPN SOR: 14
– Did not play for a conference championship
– Losses: Two 8–4 teams (SMU, Louisville)

BYU (11–2)
– ESPN SOS: 22
– ESPN SOR: 9
– Played in the Big 12 championship
– Losses: No. 4 Texas Tech on the road & in the Big 12 title game

Notre Dame (10–2)
– ESPN SOS: 44
– ESPN SOR: 13
– Did not play for a conference championship
– Losses: Miami (who lost to two 8–4 teams) & No. 7 Texas A&M

[Mike Golic Jr @mikegolicjr]

BYU had a better SOS and SOR than ND and Miami going into this weekend, lost in similar fashion to Alabama andyet they were the only ones to drop. I get Alabama's resume was good, but the logic for dropping one and not the other makes me feel insane.

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

Getting blown out in the Conference Championship matters for a Big 12 team like BYU, but doesn’t matter for an SEC like Alabama who had more losses and a bad loss to a 5-7 team? Unbelievable SEC bias.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Such a hilarious slap in the face how ESPN never puts up the BYU graphic.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

And yes I know BYU wasn’t in before the title game. That was an unprecedented screw job. They have a better resume by every metric except the logo on the helmet. Total joke. They deserved to be in before this weekend and after this weekend #ProvoDave

[Shehan Jeyarajah @ShehanJeyarajah]

Here's the other ridiculous part: The committee moved BYU down for getting crushed in a title game to set this up... after not punishing Alabama at all for getting crushed in a title game.

This is the worst committee we've had in history. They should be embarrassed.

[Kramer @KramerHolle]

If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.

If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.

If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.

If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.

BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.

This. Makes. No. Sense.

The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).

RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

Having BYU behind ND makes college football figure skating or gymnastics. You don’t even need to play the games. It’s so dumb. BYU plays in a power conference. Tougher schedule. They have less losses and better wins. Ruins the whole sport. #provodave #byuscrewed

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

BYU should be in the College Football Playoff.

-11-1 in a Power 4 Conference Champ Game
-#6 Strength of Record
-T-Most wins over teams with a winning record
-Better SOS than Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Miami

Wins and loses matter.
Who you beat matters.

Stop persecuting Christians.

[Brigham Wise @bwisemd]

@jasonmcgowan @kalanifsitake He is BYU. He’s Lavell 2.0. Every fan is proud to have him representing our university, our church and our football team. He’s created a culture that we are all proud of and a team that is incredible. None of that happens by accident! #keepkalani

[Robert Griffin III @RGIII]

8 Teams should be in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens during Conference Championship week,

Indiana
Ohio State
Texas Tech
Oregon
Georgia
BYU
Ole Miss
Texas A&M

[Brigham Wise @bwisemd]

Because so much of what the committee goes by is brand instead of resume. There’s so much bias. This is a great way to do it.

[David Ubben @davidubben]

My editor gave me six blind resumes for three spots in the bracket.

It got weird. And I settled the Notre Dame-Miami debate 😬

@realOCsports @Utah_Football @OCShow801 That’s SEC vs Big12. So much bias!
