I think I clearly stated why the bump occurred

It falls directly in line with instructions to the CFP. They value conference champions and strength of schedule and both of those helped Utah. And those are objectively measured. So no farce. It’s just the system.

Reminded what a farce the CFP rankings were last season

Absolutely, farce is correct

Nah…Oregon was #3 though. It’s one thing to beat them at home. But to lay a beat down

TFL

8/14/22 10:16pm

Oregon sure got a lot of mileage out of the Ohio St Win

Dr T-bone

8/14/22 10:24pm

Didn't you also lose to Oregon State?

Waluigi

8/14/22 10:50pm

Oregon St. lost to Utah St. in their Bowl game

HawkeyeCoug

8/15/22 7:33am

Yep, nothing says top 12 team like an 8 point loss to the Beavers

Magathis

8/15/22 12:08am

Unless you’re 9-0 in your other conference games

TFL

8/15/22 12:18am

I was not alive to watch BYU in the WAC

Magathis

8/15/22 12:38am

The first two losses became increasingly less relevant. Why Utah passed SDSU and BYU up so quickly despite

How was your out of conference record? Oh yeah…

Mediocrity from BYU doesn't impress us. Why do you expect us to be impressed by

The Pac was a WAC level conference last year

HawkeyeCoug

8/15/22 7:34am

No. UTEP, CSU, Wyoming would never beat LSU, Vandy and Ohio State in the same year. Pac had an off year

TFL

8/15/22 11:53am

That kinda proves the point. Oregon in reality was 12-15, maybe. Nobody gets mileage out of rankings like B1G and PAC.

How many BIG schools have won in Columbus the last 4-5 years? What's the Buckeyes record?

Couple of logical answers to the jump

Medute

8/14/22 10:43pm

Cam Rising won games against inferior competition.

travelcoug

8/14/22 10:50pm

Let’s look at who Ohio State was missing

Medute

8/14/22 11:07pm

They sat out 28 players. They didn’t care. It wasn’t an attractive opponent

travelcoug

8/14/22 11:30pm

You said “28 of their best players”. You lied

Medute

8/15/22 6:40am

I would be suspended if I told someone that they lied

travelcoug

8/15/22 7:02am

You did lie. I could ask you to defend your post but you won’t

Medute

8/15/22 7:13am

Your Lack of knowledge is astounding. It is like trying to

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:07am

It’s not surprising you don’t defend your point

Medute

8/15/22 8:31am

Here you go

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:32am

Another dodge. Solid work

Medute

8/15/22 10:00am

Ohio State had missing olinemen.

BYU '80

8/15/22 12:35am

Can you please share link with the missing O linemen?

Medute

8/15/22 6:36am

Your tender little feelings can’t handle the truth

travelcoug

8/15/22 7:03am

Link…Never trust the memory of a yewt.

pilot17

8/15/22 4:34am

So I missed one OL. I’m such a terrible person

Medute

8/15/22 6:39am

Experience matters. They replaced more than a quarter of their starters

BYU '80

8/15/22 6:44am

The guy said “28 of their best players”

Medute

8/15/22 7:01am

I get it. Cam Rising won three games for you guys that you lost last year

travelcoug

8/15/22 7:06am

It’s also important to mention who missed

Medute

8/15/22 7:11am

Tell yourself that but also ask how yootah would have been had they

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:10am

We started a RB at cornerback

Medute

8/15/22 8:32am

Retooling whole teams isn’t quite the same as replacing one position. But you

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:35am

Dude, they only had 61 scholarship players that’s less than a FCS school.

pilot17

8/15/22 8:29am

Rising is in the middle of winning this one too just like he won sdsu, BYU and

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:39am

They had the majority of their 2-deep and didn’t need to go deeper than that

Medute

8/15/22 10:15am

At least we agree on something

travelcoug

8/15/22 7:04am

Sorry to interject, but he didn’t lie.

Robbinoburrito

8/15/22 8:26am

No, he lied

Medute

8/15/22 8:34am

Your comments on BYU or Utah football make little sense.

Robbinoburrito

8/15/22 9:00am

Your point is not proven at all. Pat yourself on the back all you want

Medute

8/15/22 10:01am

It’s actually pretty ironic that you just lied to try to prove that he lied.

mvtoro

8/15/22 10:33am

😂😂😂

Robbinoburrito

8/15/22 10:50am

By that same metric, then, Oregon had no business being ranked that high

NorthernLight

8/15/22 1:09am

Oregon was ranked high because they were 10-1 and had beaten Ohio State

Medute

8/15/22 7:35am

How did Oregon do in their bowl game…. Those great champs of yours

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:11am

If you have San Diego state on the schedule this year you need to pray

travelcoug

8/15/22 8:16am

Did they look like a top 10 team in any game besides Ohio State?

Section31 Coug

8/15/22 8:20am

I don’t know, but when someone is 10-1 or 10-2, it’s tough to drop them too much

Medute

8/15/22 8:36am

Happens all the time to teams that don't get the P5 bias

Section31 Coug

8/15/22 9:18am

That’s why they didn’t finish in top 10

Medute

8/15/22 10:02am

They weren't top-10 worthy before playing Utah

Section31 Coug

8/15/22 10:57am

so your logic makes no sense, and the OP of this thread is correct

byublue42

8/15/22 8:23am

I think I clearly stated why the bump occurred

Medute

8/15/22 8:37am

That's exactly the farce and P5 bias with the rankings

byublue42

8/15/22 9:05am

Just because lack of objectivity is codified in their instructions, doesn’t make it objective. It *does* make the system

mvtoro

8/15/22 9:42am

The system is a farce. Just the one fact that they are instructed to give

Blue chunks

8/15/22 10:31am

The take home message is that P5s fabricate and manipulate to create perception.

Blue chunks

8/15/22 10:24am

All of which except the conference champs was ALREADY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT by the

8/15/22 10:20am

False, Utah was 17 on the Nov 30 CFP rankings, 11 on Dec 5. Champ game was Dec 3

Medute

Farce is the perfect word. LOL at any yewts defending it. All credibility gone.
