@IanHest Kentucky's resume is LOL. They have two 1-point wins against 3-loss teams on 2-point conversions and two 28-point losses to 2-loss teams. That's their resume. They wouldn't be ranked in another conference and instead these dummies have them in the playoffs.
Every single SEC team ranked (that’s 9 teams) are ranked a spot ahead of a team from a different conference DIRECTLY behind them with a better record…(with the exception of South Carolina and Ohio State who have the same record)
The reason people engage in propaganda is because it works. 20+ years of ESPN being the SEC mouthpiece and flooding the zone with BS has the CFP Committee saying that Kentucky losing 2 games by 56 points does not put them behind 1-loss teams from other power conferences.
Compare the #CFBPlayoff rankings from Week 11 this year (Nov. 10 rankings) to Week 11 in 2016, 2011, and 2006.
"Strength of Schedule" has officially been given more weight than actually taking care of business and winning games.
That is a massive problem for college football.

What I’m saying is winning should be the most important thing, and that’s what it was 10, 15, and 20 years ago. But now instead it’s about who you play which is ranked on FPI, a stat established by ESPN.
An 11-1 team that plays in a power 5 conference shouldn’t have to worry about a 10-2 or 9-3 team getting in over them, but with this format, it’s allowing that to happen, and primarily with one conference. No other sport or league operates that way.
One thing to be said for the 24- team playoff, the regular season is already dead. Results don't matter in the SEC. Any win is a quality win, any loss goes unpunished.
If you want to know why the Big Ten pushed for the 24-team CFP, consider this from selection committee chair Hunter Yurachek last night about South Carolina:
"They also have what we believe are quality wins against Oklahoma, Florida and Texas A&M."

Today we honor and thank the courage, sacrifice and selfless service of all who have worn our nation's uniform.
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served 🙌
