[CTcard]

Long drive tonight and listened to a ton of commentary. The best was a quote from the president of the CFP. He stated the SC wasn't considered for the playoff as they had no marquee wins. Seriously? Who the hell did Bama beat? Why the ESPN interviewer didn't push him on that, I'll never know.

Best wins:

Bama
Over top 25 (by cfp): 24-10 over #17 LSU; 31-24 over #23 Miss. St.
Other notable: 27-19 over (7-5) Texas AM; 41-10 over (9-4) G5 Fresno
(and 1 win over a 6-6 team, 1 over a 7-5 G5 team)

$C
Over top 25 (by cfp): 31-28 over #13 Stanford; 42-24 over #13 Stanford.
Other notable: 48-17 over (7-5) ASU; 49-35 over (7-5) UA
(and 4 wins over 6-6 teams)

tOSU
Over top 25 (by cfp): 27-21 over #6 Wisconsin; 48-3 over #16 Mich St; 39-38 over #9 PSU
Other notable: 31-20 over (8-4) Mich; 38-7 over (8-3) G5 Army
(no wins over 0.500 teams)


By this measure it seems pretty clear the rankings should be tOSU $C Bama.



The main reason Bama was rewarded was fewer ticks in the loss column.
[As I have previously mentioned, never once has the cfp committee put in a team with X+1 losses over a team with X losses. Being a Power 5 team with fewer losses so far has always trumped all else.]
