That doesnt factor in head to head play, as well as outcome vs shared competition etc.
kinda like how alabama is ranked above ole miss =)
Ole Miss has 2 losses. Bama has 1.

yes but ole miss has proven they are a better team than alabama by beating them in their own stadium...much less a neutral field.
I just hear it every year when they are trying to sort out the top slots, "which team do you think would win on a neutral field".
thats the criteria used to determine which teams are better than others....it just frustrates me that its ignored when the opponent you lost to has somehow lost one or two more games than you.
I can promise you that should bama lose to LSU next week....then they will have an equal number of losses as ole miss..but will STILL be ranked higher.
it just annoys me, I think head to head should always matter. the teams have already played, they had their shot to prove they were better....and barring some major injury, ridiculous weather conditions, or other abnormal situations that could truly impact the performance of either team and change a potential outcome....that head 2 head should mean far more than it does.
Do you want the 4 most deserving teams to make the playoffs of the 4 best?
They can be very different.
Since you now have complete vision into last year, including the playoffs, which 4 teams were the most deserving and which 4 were the best? And more importantly, how do you know who was best?
If Memphis ends the season as the only undefeated team, do they deserve to be in the playoff?

How do you know they wouldn't be one of the 4 best teams?Some may say yes but they would not be one of the best 4 teams. They would be a ratings killer as well.
I do not think with their schedule they would deserve to make it. It would be a very impressive season for them though.

Most likely they will not win their new years bowl game is reason enough for me.
Well, it's difficult to argue with logic like that. :hysterical:
I am not trying to argue with you but that fact remains the same. Also their bowl opponent will not take the game seriously.
Do you think an undefeated memphis would be one of the best 4 teams?
yikes...clemson appears to be having a good day.

I have no idea how good they are or aren't, but according to Colley, they're very nearly as qualified (based on on-field performance, not that that should matter ) as OSU.
