The committee will release their first poll on Tues, Oct 28

so we did start equal
AP and coaches poll will have absolutely no bearing on that, IMO

If the playoff committee poll is drastically different from the AP and Coaches poll they will be forced to scrap the committee.
You might see a different four seed in the playoff in favor of a 5 but the top 3 teams from the AP and Coaches will assuredly make the playoff.

I disagree... I don't think this committee wants to be seen
Sep 16, 2014, 8:11 AM

as a. " puppet ".., especially the media's. I think they will consider them, but I anticipate they will not mimic them at all.
There's a chance they could be the same, but I highly doubt it.
Committee wants to make a splash. IMO

By not including the best teams in college football?
I guess you're right. That would be quite the splash.

have you even looked at the criteria for the selection?
Sep 16, 2014, 8:32 AM

when was the last time the AP poll was relevent?
when was the last time the coaches poll was relevent?
Look... I'm sure they will look similar, but what I'm saying is something like... the #5-8 in the AP/coaches could feasibly be much higher in the committee poll

Would you be saying the same if there wasn't an SEC team in the top 4?

think the 4 most deserving teams are at the end of the season. If those teams are the same as the coaches and/or AP polls that's fine, but they should in no way take those polls into consideration. I'm open to them using them any kind of metrics or advanced statistics that they want to use to help them make their decisions, but they absolutely should not use the opinions of others to form their own opinions.

you think the most revolutiory move in the college football post season to date is going to be influenced by the most archaic system we were trying to get away from in the first place?

The polls tend to be pretty accurate.
I'm not sure why you guys think a Florida State, Auburn or Alabama would have been left out last year.

who said they would have been left out?

but... under the committee... if a 1 loss SEC team, that did not win the conference is ranked 4th...
and a 1-loss PAC team that won their conference is ranked 6 (by AP/Coaches poll)...
I would almost bet the PAC team gets in the final four

But like I said the only controversy will come from that fourth spot. The committee will mimic the AP and Coaches polls for the first 3.

I'm not so sure... for example...
Sep 16, 2014, 9:36 AM
|

Let's say Alabama wins the SEC with one loss and Oregon wins the Pac with one loss...
ok, they are clearly one and two.
Then you have a one loss Auburn
two loss SEC East Champion
2 loss Big 12 Champion (close losses to highly ranked teams)
2 loss ACC champion (close losses to high ranked teams)
I could see both 2 loss teams getting in over AU in something like that.

It's impressive how much the SEC has gotten into your head.

that has nothing to do with the SEC.... i don't care about
Sep 16, 2014, 9:53 AM

any conference... my point is that, in that scenario, I'm sure the SEC would have teams ranked ahead of the 2 loss conference champions...
you can subsitute any conference you want...
don't make this into an "SEC" thing, b/c it's not

Your example?
There is no reason to deny why you hope the committee won't be fair to the SEC.
