All of those questions are conditional based on how other top ranked teams performed. Winning is not just winning, there are a ton of other conditional variables that factor into the rankings.
I can be aware of something and disagree with it. In week 8 this year, UNC was the only P5 undefeated team ranked below any 1 loss teams. In week 9, there were no undefeated P5 teams ranked below any one loss teams.
So basically like the staff for other bowl games. And I agree, it's pretty insane these positions are so lucrative.
I realize you disagree with it, my point is that movement in the rankings, based on expected competitiveness, is completely subjective every week of the season, and FSU falling out of the top 4 is consistent with that.
By definition, it is a 4 team tournament, lol.
I think you all are bitching about the ACC losing cachet, not about fairness. The expanded playoff is intended to prevent this bullshit.
yeah but zero losses is supposed to actually mean something in college football. That is the whole thing they try to emphasize, that every game matters.
Yeah, and FSU wasn’t selected for the tournament because they lost their best player.
Nothing says the AP or Coaches Poll has to vote for the playoff winner. The coaches should vote FSU and then award them the crystal ball (still awarded to the #1 team in the final coaches poll).
“Mean something” is vague nonsense, there are rules or there aren’t.
Ph discovers that politics aren’t sports and vice versa. Hallelujah.
the entire selection process is vague nonsense!
