Bazza, I think he's saying that in a playoff, another team that played cupcakes and went undefeated should not get in over Florida who played a tougher schedule but had 1 loss.
I think you're right....after re-reading it that appears to be what he was saying....I guess that cupcake thing gets a little old after a while. :rolleyes:

Thanks Engineer!

I don't have a link, but I have heard that the playoff committee would pick the top 4 teams with an emphasis on conference champions. What does that mean? I guess we will see.
I have avoided this thread, I thought it would go away. Tim Brando devoted an entire show to what Nick said never missing a chance to put Bama down. enough for me to not respond.

I think that means that if the rankings looked like this:


1. Alabama
2. Florida
3. LSU
4. T&M
5. UGA
6. Arkansas
7. Miss St
8. Ole Miss
9. Tenesee
10. Oregon


Then only the SEC Champ would make it into the play off so you'd have #1 vs #10-13 more than likely


at least thats my take on it ( and yes I did it like that to prove a point)

Audio:

I want to fully understand what you are saying about Florida's schedule this year.

Are you saying we had a weak schedule - because not every opponent measured up to a particular standard?
No, suggesting that you would get the nod over, say, Boise State with their perennial cupcake scheduling. A one-loss SEC team should always get the nod over a undefeated cupcake team.

I think only 2 of those teams get in. that is why a 4 team playoff will not work. this is off topic,BTW

The more I look at the articles from the last month, I realize I had the playoff format wrong. I was thinking about the bowl selection, not the team selection.

Thanks - I misunderstood your comment, Audio...sorry my mistake!

Strength of schedule should always be included as determining criteria along with W-L records.

Along those same lines...it always bugs me when player (or team) stats are given without consideration of strength of schedule. An ACC QB's stats are not on par with those of an SEC QB, for example. It almost seems like an * should be put next to stats coming from a conference other than the SEC. I hope that doesn't sound too biased!
