@nihilists4jesus Best city. Funny that we all love the Duomo bc traditionally the locals dislike it. They thought the exterior patterns were tacky or something and I see what they mean but cmon its amazing.

Me to the pill that keeps Texas out of the playoffs

[Bill Connelly @ESPN_BillC]

Honestly, this is the hardest ranking for me to accept.

Miami shouldn't have played for OT twice.

ND had a weak schedule, and we knew they probably needed to start 1-1.

BYU ... lost to a spectacular team on the road and beat everyone else.

You guys left the best freshman and one of the top quarterbacks in the country off this list…

@jasonmcgowan @kalanifsitake When Kalani spoke at BYUH, I was impressed by his gospel experience and the gravity of his testimony. I thought: How do we get the Kahuku kids to BYU to play for this guy?! The ones that want a priesthood leader will follow him, whether they know the reason or not. Stay Kalani!

Playoffs scenario is very simple. Regardless of what happens in championship games the final 2 teams in the playoffs should be BYU and Alabama. If BYU wins Big 12 put Texas Tech in there. Thats it. End of story. Anything else is wrong and an injustice

The idea that a one-loss team in a Power 4 conference (BYU) can be currently out of the bracket and ranked behind three two-loss teams with lower SOR numbers is embarrassing for the sport.

BYU went 11-2 last year. Stumbled a little down the stretch but bounced back incredibly well from a 5-7 first year in the Big 12.

BYU had high expectations, projected to be a top 15 team entering the preseason but lost their quarterback in August and turned to a true freshman at QB who joined the team in May.

Way too much was put into the loss of Jake Retzlaff at QB by people outside of BYU. Bear has certainly exceeded expectations and is a big reason they are 10-1 but the biggest reason is because BYU has a GREAT TEAM. Balanced, efficient, well-coached.

The obsession from the committee on blowing horrible teams out and losing close games to good teams is asinine. BYU has played a lot of really good teams this season. I would contend it is more impressive to go 10-1 against BYU’s schedule than 9-2 against Notre Dame’s. Losing to the two best teams on your schedule shouldn’t be rewarded. BYU went 1-1 against the two best teams they played. The Tech loss was bad but why does Alabama get a pass for a loss to Florida State but BYU doesn’t for losing to the No. 5 team in the country? Oregon gets credit for wins over Penn State and Iowa because we thought they were good at the time. BYU gets knocked because of close wins to Arizona and Iowa State because people thought they weren’t great.

BYU has a top 5 resume in the country. Sure they aren’t a top 10 power rated team but let’s reward teams that over perform, not teams that under perform because of “eye test” and Vegas and power ratings.

Assuming BYU beats UCF, BYU is a playoff worthy team regardless of what happens in Arlington and it is ridiculous that isn’t a given.

@josh_furlong This low BYU probability is due to a losable game in Cincy ahead. Utah 0.8x0.8 odds of getting to the bubble then no more games. BYU has like 0.6x0.9 of getting to bubble but then x 0.3 if they will be punished for losing CCG. Next week it will change dramatically with a win.

Here’s how the rankings are manipulated with teams like Tennessee and Missouri.

Alabama is #10
BYU is #11
Miami is #13

“Alabama has to stay ranked high because of their FOUR ranked wins!”

Half of Alabama’s ranked wins are Tennessee and Missouri. Those two teams are a combined 0-6 vs. ranked opponents and have beaten ZERO bowl eligible teams.

Let’s simply replace Tennessee with a team like 7-3 Louisville (who beat #13 Miami, Pitt, and James Madison), and replace Missouri with a team like 7-3 Arizona (who just beat #25 Cincinnati on the road last week).

If you make those two little changes, Alabama suddenly now has just 2 ranked wins.

With Arizona ranked, BYU now also has two ranked wins. With Louisville ranked, Miami’s loss to them is no longer to a “horrible unranked team!”

So now you’d have:
8-2 Alabama with 2 ranked wins
9-1 BYU with 2 ranked wins
8-2 Miami with a Top 10 win over Notre Dame

BYU clearly jumps Alabama (should already be ahead of some Top 10 teams)

Then what you’d have to take into consideration is that Miami beat Florida State, while Alabama lost to Florida State by 14. Miami likely jumps Alabama too.

With just a small change to #20 and #22, taking out Tennessee and Missouri (who have ZERO wins over bowl eligible teams), and replacing them with Louisville and Arizona (who have FIVE wins over bowl eligible teams), the resumes and CFP cases of teams ranked #10-#13 change drastically.
