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

TFL

8/15/22 11:06am

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?

TFL

8/15/22 11:02am

Couple of logical answers to the jump

Medute

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

Socrates Johnson

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

8/15/22 10:28am

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