Ah yes.... moving the goalposts again (and desperately hoping nobody notices). You asked if the committee factors in close games against good teams. OSU suffered because they got blown out by a bad team, which is considerably different from a close lose against a good team.OU is in because of their record on top of the fact that the committee, for whatever reason, gives the Big 12 the same gravitas that they give the SEC, which is clearly a superior conference. But the committee clearly weighs those types of games. It's perhaps the biggest reason OU got in over OSU (loss vs. a ranked team in Texas vs. getting blown out by Purdue).
Oh I can look at things beyond the score itself but even then, your argument is a failure. The stats were reasonably close at that point in the game too. UGA had the lead, but it was nowhere near an "ass kicking".You're of the opinion, then, that the score tells the story of the game? It's an interesting take. But yes, that was very much an ass kicking. Smart's conservative nature at the end of it is what cost them.
Yes, I do believe Georgia is the better team. I never said they weren't. However, I do not believe it would be the sheer domination that you seem to think it would be. Neither team is as good as they were last year. Both teams lost a lot of talent. OU lost Mayfield but UGA arguably lost more top talent, 2 players were drafted in the 1st round by NE (Wynn and Michel). They also lost Roquan Smith and Nick Chubb.But you can't even answer the question with a straight yes or no which tells me that you know Georgia is the better team.
If they played, it would be a close game that would go down to the wire - just like last year.
I think you are very confused about what is being discussed. I am 100% on board with expanding the playoffs to 8 teams. Did you skip your late-morning nap, grandpa?So, with that being stated, you can't sit there with a straight face and tell me that the committee just put in the four best teams. It's just another feather in the cap for those that want the playoff field to be expanded.
