Question was Texas A&M moved to #4 to justify


Nov 2, 2016, 4:47 PM

Alabama at #1?

To me we had the best strength of schedule and should be #1 but it Alabama beat a higher ranked team they could justify them as the #1 team, just my opinion/question?

I totally thought the same thing.

The committee knew that the country would go crazy if Clemson was ranked #1 and the only way to justify Alabama being #1 was moving A&M to #4 knowing that it would work out later in the season.

Tamu was moved to #4 because they deserve it more plain and simply.

Why does Bama need justification at #1???


Nov 2, 2016, 4:54 PM

They've destroyed everyone they've played and their overall SOS is actually pretty close to ours. I doubt there was even much discussion about who would be #1. I think Bama is clearly in that spot right now.

Destroying everyone on the schedule is not a factor...


Nov 2, 2016, 5:38 PM

according to the information the POC has published. A win is a win. I'm not complaining but we've beaten better competition to date according to stated SOS.

The 'eyetest's,' mainly focuses on such tripe and 'game control,' and margin of victory and should be used only when all else is equal. It is not in this case.

Close counts in grenades and horseshoes. Am I bitter? No, Bama's SOS will play out way above ours and they will earn the top spot or take a loss and give it up. I'm happy with our situation at this point.

So really your question is should TAMU be ranked higher than Louisville to justify ranking Bama over Clemson. I think the clear answer is yes they should

Thanks for providing the first best answer.

+1

They did it in case Bama loses to LSU and or Auburn, two


Nov 2, 2016, 6:02 PM

teams without a REAL shot at CFP...Can you imagine the outrage if Bama lost on Saturday and TAMU jumped 5 spots? It's a hedge, if Bama falters, they have A&M at least until they play LSU on the last weekend
