The "eye test" is why Utah is above Minnesota right now

Minnesota is undefeated and has a great win of Penn State.

Utah has just dominated their opponents except for a brain fart at USC.

After listening to those ESPN guys during the USU/BYU game, it's gotta be Bama.

Agreed but USC is not a nobody - they may not be great but they aren't a nobody

Unranked = "nobody". USC's name recognition won't help Utah.

If USC, Wash and BYU win out 2 of them will be ranked.

I don't see how either UW or USC get ranked, let alone both....or BYU

And yet NONE of those three will be as highly ranked as LSU.

How is this even a question? At that point, Alabama will have beaten Auburn on

Not to mention Utah has had one of the weakest schedules in the Pac-12. SOS will drag Utah down.

1 win vs a ranked team and should have lost by double digits at home

Minnesota is still being punished for squeaking by a weak early schedule

Medute

And if not for a similar brainfart at the end of the half, 'Bama might have won.

Yep, why play a season at all. Bama has the best talent

Medute

Utah's resume is also weak

BYU Fan

In this scenario, I am giving Utah a hypothetical CCG win over Oregon

Medute

11/13/19 3:40pm

Utah will have an argument, I just wouldn't pick them

I think what you left out is Conference Champion

Medute

11/13/19 4:21pm

But it hasn’t historically

BYU Fan

11/13/19 4:41pm

Penn State didn’t win the CCG that year

Medute

11/13/19 4:45pm

Yes they did. Not all Conference championships are equal.

Byron McNertney

11/13/19 4:53pm

I stand corrected

Medute

11/13/19 5:24pm

Extraordinary circumstances are things like are you Ohio State or Alabama

BYU Fan

The CFP committee has used the "eye test" before and will use it again

Screw regular season and schedule strength, let’s just rematch Bama and LSU

Medute

11/13/19 11:29am

Zactly

Bama lost barely to #1 LSU. Utes lost to mediocre USC team. Bama gets the nod.
