I believe people get confused about what the Committee looks at in determining the rankings. I believe what you have posted is when they are trying to slot "comparable teams". In this situation, ND and Miami. Those two are comparable, so they default to what you posted above. That is the tiebreaker check list when teams are "comparable". When ranking the teams, they look at whatever they feel like looking at and are swayed by they eye test whatever former coaches are on the Committee: METRICS There will not be one single metric to assist the committee. Rather, the committee will consider a wide variety of data and information.- Trump’s America

They did say that, fans just ignore it. Amazing how many posts in those game threads recognized the dogshit non-playoff team performance in those games and then somehow think the committee didn’t see the same thing.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
I don’t decide it. The committee does. Get a member on the phone and ask them. It’s been the same all along. They have to answer questions week after week about ranking a sport that has hundreds of teams that don’t all play the same type of schedules. Every year they contradict themselves when the chair has to answer questions every week. But it’s been this way as long as I can recall: “team A was far and above Team B in our view, so we didn’t need to go to H2H, common opponents, etc, etc.”- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

That’s been the rules as long as I can recall. It’s just a lot of dumb fucks don’t bother to understand what they’re whining and bitching about. It’s in the stated criteria again this year.

I didn't see anything in your post with the proof that the committee isn't considering what it publicly states it considers. Provide your proof. Or, hell, just keep regurgitating your personal wants and desires. It don't make a shit.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Feel free to show me where I made that suggestion. I do not present a scenario of taking away a good win, taking away a bad loss, adding a good loss, and still being 9-3. Due to your avatar, I've noticed your posts, and you and highly regarded go well together.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
The College Football Playoff selection committee will announce its first of six rankings on Nov. 4 using enhanced metrics to help evaluate schedule strength and how teams perform against their slate, the CFP announced Wednesday. In the current schedule strength metric, more weight will now be applied to games against strong opponents. A new, added metric of "record strength" will help the committee determine how teams performed against their schedule, rewarding those that beat high-quality opponents while minimizing the penalty of losing to one. These changes will also provide minimal reward for beating a lower-quality opponent while imposing a greater penalty for losing to one. Historically, the selection committee typically has evaluated in this manner, but adding it to a computerized metric should help codify the process publicly. It could also incentivize athletic directors to continue to schedule marquee matchups between blue-blood programs without fear of being penalized for a loss in the committee meeting room. This is something some FBS commissioners have been publicly pushing for and the CFP has been working on over the past six months. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46027603/cfp-selection-committee-use-enhanced-metrics It's interesting because you don't like the ranking, you think it proves they aren't considering the metrics. What evidence do you have to prove their position is not "UT is penalized slightly for losing to tOSU, and penalized a lot for losing to 4-8 UF and 35-10 to UGA. We have them behind the two loss teams because they have 1 good loss, 1 ouch okay loss, and 1 really bad loss. Alabama is the only 2 loss team with a comparable loss, and they nearly cancel it out with the best win of anyone. If UT would've beaten Purdue and had 2 losses, they would be the lowest 2 loss team because of the 35-10 loss and UF." I think UT would be in at 10-2. But, that doesn't change the fact the committee can be following the stated position of what they consider and still have UT outside the playoff. It's not weird fanatics think it's so black and white, but it doesn't change the fact fanatics gonna fanatic and ignore reasonable difference from tunnel vision.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
The strength of teams you beat and lose to is literally in the metrics calculation used by the committee. They are literally looking at who you lose to, AND who you play and beat, not just the loss.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

1. I know this is a popular statement attributed to the committee, but I haven’t seen anyone actually show that to be the position. The closest thing I’ve seen is teams won’t be “heavily” penalized for such losses, but the winner will receive a big boost. In essence, high reward and low cost situation applied to the such games. It’s not “no penalty at all we just act like the winner got a great win and the loser didn’t even play the game.” I’ve seen references to those games are treated as 0.5 loss. However it is explained, the loss still matters. I think it’d be great if you could cite something that says the position is a team won’t be penalized at all as asserted. Finally, not specific to OOC games, I believe the committee announced before the season while losing to good teams in close games won’t hurt as bad this year, losing to bad teams will be heavily penalized, which is where the UF game arises. One way to read into these things is the losses could be counted similar to the following in the committee eyes: 0.5 to tOSU, 1.0 to UGA, 1.5 to UF. 2. My understanding of the committee, when comparing “comparable” teams the margin of victory isn’t incentivized. That’s a scenario of “we’re stuck on teams A and B with comparable data points, we’re not going to place undue weight on margin of victory in games against common opponents in our analysis.” I’ve not seen anything that says “we don’t take into consideration if you lose by 7 or 28.” Further, the committee states it looks at a wide variety of data and information. They can say margin of victory isn’t a factor to keep teams from running up the score when comparing teams with the same record and similar schedules, etc, but the scores are obviously known and discussed. Finally, hopefully I was clear in that I was repeating what Diniich said. And, my post you quoted lacks the context of the post to which I was responding, but my post sets out Ithink UT is in with 10-2 record beating Ohio instead of losing to tOSU. But, I’m not adjacent to the committee and she is. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol https://sports.yahoo.com/article/college-football-playoff-selection-committee-220716687.html- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi/_/view/efficiencies There’s not much utility in discussing 98.61% of this 3,700+ post thread.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
I don't disagree, but that Heather Dinich person who seems to generally have the pulse of the committee said if UT was 10-2 with a win against lesser OOC opponent it was not a given to be in the playoff. That's apparently how bad the UF loss and 35-10 UGA loss are viewed.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
I get the sentiment, and OU's offense is very flawed with an offensive efficiency ranking of 54. But, UT's is 41. For reference, Iowa is 48. OU and UT have by far the worst offensive efficiency ranking among playoff contenders. In an argument of more deserving, it might be a better argument against ND as they're 0-2 against teams in the playoff mix. The problem is ND only lost by 3 to 10-2 Miami on a FG with a minute to play and by 1 to 11-1 aggy on a 4th down TD with eleven seconds left after ND missed an extra point while they've handled everyone else in a manner that they should. Easy to say they are a couple plays from undefeated. UT can talk away couple plays away from losses to tOSU and UF. But there's no undoing the UGA loss and no amount of "it was close until...." changes the final score. Those three teams have an interesting look though: Strength of Record: OU-9, UT-12, ND 13 Strength of Schedule: UT-8, OU 12, ND-42 Game Control: ND-5, OU-9, UT-17 Average in-game win probability: ND-5, OU-16, UT-45 Offensive efficiency: ND-3, UT-41, OU-54 Defensive efficiency: OU-4, ND-8, UT-11 Special teams: OU-2, UT-5, ND-64 - Tell Me About Notre Dame
