So the protocol, by your own accounting, does not include wins/losses.
How do you get Michigan #1 with your understanding of the protocol? Their 4th best SOS of the 5 P5 conference champions?

How do you get Michigan #1 with your understanding of the protocol? Their 4th best SOS of the 5 P5 conference champions?
I’m sure it’s been mentioned that the playoff setup is two B1G teams and two SEC teams.
I’m sure it is coincidence.
I’m sure it is coincidence.
Not addressed by Committee. Not comparable would be one guess.
The issue is Bama vs FSU which the Committee addressed.
Again wasn't my original assertion that you're still ignoring - in a world where FSU doesn't have JT Alabama is more deserving
I suspect all those thinking FSU should have been chosen over Bama are gonna hammer this ML. Seems like easy money.
I’m just elated that the books were so silly to post an Iowa total in the mid/high 30s.
Head to head matters. At least the committee followed their protocol.
Comparable, but did not win conference. 37 SOS. Protocol.
It just feels silly that Georgia were in this exact same spot 2 years ago (12-1 with a SEC CCG game loss against a 12-1 Alabama) and got in then because the chips fell in their favour elsewhere and now their bid to threepeat is dead because of one loss in their last 30 games.

Was their ooc two years ago as bad as the one they played this year?

I think this is a valid point. Why even play a game and risk anyone getting injured. Let's let Vegas pick every game. Even better, let's go with the official simulation. Although it will kill me when F**k Nebraska wins every championship for the rest of eternity.

Homebrew & Prime Time = HEAVEN
Because they lost a game to a top ten opponent. Oh wait, that does not make sense. Wait, none of this horse **** makes ****ing sense.
I can only imagine what this site would be like had it existed when CU split the NC

Did you check out that new Baywatch show? Man that Pamela Anderson seems such a sweet girl
So FSU and Bama weren't comparable last week and now they are? Bama's win over Georgia moved them up into a group with FSU?
What standard do you think they use to define comparable groups?
I get that you can point at the committee's protocol language and lawyer your way into justifying almost any decision they made.
The charade that it's straightforward, logically consistent, and completely unbiased is just paper thin.

If Bama wins, it'll be just like when Ohio State won. A team that shouldn't even have been there gets the title. TCU would have hammered anyone that season.
I think Bama should be a very small favorite over FSU sans JT, and Washington if they were matching up in 3 weeks.
I think a very small favorite should not negate the precedent the committee repeatedly set in previous years with undefeated P5 conference champs, and this year with undefeated P5 teams in the rankings every single week.
Let’s do this. Use the protocol to make your argument for FSU. Then I’ll respond with Bama. Then we can move on.
What should be the Orange Bowl line?
If F$U loses and the UT-Okie Lite game is closer, I think UGA gets in.
That’s cute. But not what it says.
I haven't read the entire thread, so help me understand the protocol.
To me, if you're an undefeated P5 conference champion, you have to be in the playoffs (assuming that there's not four other undefeated P5 champions); otherwise, what's the point?
