UNC is ranked 14 in the CFP rankings while Houston, a 3 point loser at UConn on Saturday, is unranked.

Looking at the resumes, can you honestly give me a reason why UNC is so much better? Maybe they're slightly better but 14 vs. unranked?

UNC's loss is to a team that just lost to the Citadel and has two other wins total. Houston lost to a team that's bowl eligible.

They didn't get left behind by their conference mates in 1996.

A writer was making the same comparison between Northwestern and Stanford. Northwestern had a stronger schedule, better top wins and had beaten Stanford head to head, but was nearly 10 spots lower. Stanford has beaten the comittees #20 and #23 but lost to their #16 and #17 while being ranked #9.

And Houston is in the AAC, just on the wrong side of the ViP rope and not on the list.

What's your point? The committee stresses body of work and strength of schedule. I personally believe UNC is better but its not about the eye test, at least not alone. It's supposed to be about overall body of work or I guess in reality whoever is in a better conference (and just barely, is the ACC really all that much better than the AAC?).

Let me guess, you think it's better for a team to get hot and make the Final Four as an 11-seed than have a great regular season and earn a high seed?

Meanwhile, Washington State is also ranked with 3 losses, including one to Portland State (they're good for their leve but come on).

RE: Can anyone explain to me what UNC has done better than Houston?
Everyone knows the committee is bias and their is no rhyme or reason on how they do things, the process is very opaque. There needs to be a more transparent process like having some news media in the room. Public needs to see the process on how the sausage is made. Until that happens the CFB fan will have little confidence or trust in the process

Oh look, the committee is just like the BCS.

Shocker.

UNC-Chapel Hill has definitely cheated better than Houston.

Houston is a mid-major, UNC a P5.
