I kept saying no matter what the AP or coaches said that they will find a way to screw you out of a playoff. I'm telling you no matter what you do, they will not let you in.

HAH!

And asked about no other American teams ranked...

Ridiculous. Devalued the big 12 and the American

id bet legtimate money, that if cincy wasnt a playoff threat smu and houston are ranked...

there is no justification for fresno being ranked and not smu and houston

I mean the win over UCLA is good, but if you lose to Hawaii more recently how is that not weighted just as much if not more.

OU at 8 is also crazy.

So is Mississippi stare at 17. Memphis beat them and Mississippi state has two other losses but they want that win over A&M to not hurt I guess.

This is just self fulfilling logic on their part honestly.

ucla is 5-4
are they actually good or are we still suing preseason hype despite most of the season already being played

I'm actually more shocked at a 9-0 Oklahoma being so low.

well when FBS splits in two, one will have a selection committee and the other will not, guess which one the fans will follow

On the bright side Cincy gets to join a conference that the Playoff Committee respects enough to rank a 9-0 team at #8.

Haha two loss Fresno St and one loss SDSU in there but no SMU and UH? Intentionally done to strengthen their argument against Cinci's SOS.

MFers left us completely off too.

Hopefully UC, UH & UCF fans will remember this moment once you guys are part of the club (although I don't know if the BIG 12 will even be all the way in the club). It's easy to rationalize rankings once it benefits your respective schools.

good

Yeah you’re right

We must move to a format similar to basketball and like every other version of football where wins and losses matter and are no longer subjective to someone’s preseason rankings, recruiting rankings, TV rankings, or stadium size.

There should be rankings only for entertainment value but the post season consists of a 10 team playofff where the top 2 teams get a bi week and all 10 conferences get their champion in. This is the way.

UC fans better be holding "BILLBOARS" that contain some of these words "FIX", "SCAM", "BOGUS", "ANTTRUST" all over the stadium.

CIncy has to win out. MSU has to destroy OSU and win out. OU has to lose big in the Big13 champ game. UH gotta go undefeated and then get destroyed by Cincy in AAC champ game. Oregon gotta lose PAC 12. UGA gotta destroy BAMA in SEC champ game.

All that and Cincy will still need very convincing margins of victory and probably need a couple losses by Michigan, ND, Wake, OK St, and Baylor.

Bottom line, was never gonna happen this year.

Honest question, 7-2 BYU ranked #15, does anyone here honestly believe that they actually that much better than UH and/or SMU?

can i be honest...


i also actually think that plays into cincy as well

if you watched the cincy vs tulane game...they non stop said you have to rank cincy high even if their games are close, how come only cincy needs style points ..
they non stop referencing Oklahoma struggling horribly vs kansas...

they know oklahoma has top 15 games later on in the season, to push them up later...but cant biasedly use eye test for one and not another so obviously

oklahoma is their cincy cover... knowing they can rank oklahoma high later

Quite frankly Cincy is higher than I thought the committee would put them. Having them ahead of Oklahoma stunned me even though they are very clearly better. Thought they might even give a real slap to the face and have them ranked below Wake Forest.
