    Maybe you should do some looking.

    There are no definite metrics.

    Ranking football teams is an art, not a science.

    This is what the expanded bracket would look like this year. I like how all of the ambiguity is removed.

    Format rules:
    *6 auto bids to highest ranked conference champs
    *6 at-large bids to next highest ranked teams
    *top 4 champs get byes
    *5-8 seeds host on-campus 1st round games

    It's funny you say that but I get torched every single time they lose but one thing always remains the same is that I'm here and a lot of the time I'm the only one that's here putting up with it...

    Really looking forward to the above!!! A CLEAR and DEFINITE path for P5(4) Conference Champions and at least one G5(6) Conference Champion. Sure there will still be SEC bias, the 'eye' test, and non-football people making decisions about the last 6 teams in... but it well be a lot less beauty pageant/figure skating/popularity contest than it currently is.

    I can appreciate your loyalty…my 84 year old Dad and Sister, Nebraska and UT Alum are massive Tide and Saban fans. I have to hear the Alabama noise all season long.

    Find me something definite as in any winless team gets in, or the SEC champ gets in. it's a decision by committee, there is no definite you're in criteria or metric. It's subjective. You find something that says other wise.

    If there was we would not all be on here arguing.

    You are a good sport and always a loyal fan of your through good times or bad times. I had a friend that’s a Michigan Alumni tell me it was good news that Michigan is rated number one. Told him the Bad News is your school has to play Alabama first instead of Washington or Texas saw his demeanor change immediately.

    So if a final four team loses it’s starting QB in practice they should drop out? That would be the committee’s logic on display if they wanted to be consistent.

    You still have not come up with anything to back that up. Show me where a team got in other than by a decision of the committee. There's no criteria or metric that puts a team in automatically, bypassing the committee, into the playoffs.

    What I don't get is all of the hate for Alabama.

    I don't have any teams/schools that I hate.

    That does not mean that there are not some teams I enjoy Alabama beating more than others. No surprise it is the teams the loudmouth guys tout. Their teams are always cheated by the refs, Bama has bought players, ( with NIL all can and/or do ) , they even stoop to disparaging coaches family members and fans with vulgar references. Total lack of class and a good indicator of lack of character.

    I will agree to this....but you have been pretty quiet up until the last few days....(you know.....when Bama won, then made it to the top 4)
