it’s not one criteria or the other, its both. We have already established with precedent that being undefeated isn’t an auto-qualifying condition, and now we have precedent that being an undefeated Big 5 isn’t an auto qualifying condition, and why should it be? The conferences are vastly different, the size of the conferences mean that Big 5 conference schedules vary wildly in difficulty.

So you apply different criteria at different times when ranking the teams ? Makes sense.

Bottom line: No way in hell was the Committee going to sign off on a CFP without an sec team for the first time.

So, they screwed the ACC team, with the #3 SOR, a 19 game win streak, who had a 2-0 record against sec opponents and a conference with a 6-4 overall record vs the sec. Go figure....
 
Not that it makes any difference when you're splitting hairs between #5 and #6, and the transitive property is always specious, but:

Louisville beat UK 35-31
Georgia beat UK 51-13 and beat Florida 43-20

FSU beat Florida 24-15 and Louisville 16-6

FSU beat LSU 45-24, with JT
Alabama beat LSU 42-28, so Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

So is Georgia not better than FSU, but Alabama is ?
 
Louisville hasn’t beaten UK in 5 years. Some are calling this years game the SEC’s best OOC win…

Yeah, the committee should really be weighting Wake Forest's September win over Vanderbilt in picking who plays for the national championship.

This. Once you understand the selection process begins with Alabama and works from there, this process is quite clear. And once Bama is brought in you have to bring Texas.

Regarding Georgia, who here doesn't really think had Bama not lost to Texas, that the 4th team still wouldn't have been FSU, it would've been Georgia? When Bama beat Georgia, that meant 2 playoff spots were decided and Georgia was out a long with FSU.
 
Serious hypothetical question - if undefeated FSU lost Jordan Travis for the season, lost their backup QB to concussion, started their third string QB and struggled to score against Louisville in say the 8th game of the season, would you disagree with them dropping from 4th to 5th place vs the 8th ranked team that just beat the #1 team by 2 touchdowns?

Does the 8th place team have 1 loss? If so, then I absolutely disagree. Winning matters.

It’s very common for teams with loss(es) to be ranked ahead of undefeated teams, you are surely aware of that.
 
Maybe not the proper thread to rant about it, but bowl committee compensation has to be one of the most egregious things in sports.

I talked to the guys running the bar in one of the coach's lounges (as part of their 'committee duties') at the Sugar Bowl a couple of years ago.

... they are mostly retired corporate types, who have written checks from their former organizations; and then personally get paid ridiculous amounts after they've ridden off into the sunset in business; to effectively do nothing for the bowls.


They are kick-back positions, hidden in plain sight.

Team selections aren't really a thing anymore... I just don't understand how these positions, which should be volunteer roles, pay $200k+.

The rich get richer, I guess.
