Only reason BAMA is in CFP is MONEY!

I don't agree. If UGA had lost to GT last week, we'd be ranked above them right now, despite having lost to them. The committee was never going to leave out a 2 loss SEC team as long as there weren't like five SEC 2 loss teams.

Look at Texas. They have no impressive wins outside for A&M, who is no longer ranked. If they lost last weekend, they would still easily be in the top 12.

It is nothing to agree or disagree with. And then you used 2 different "if" scenarios. Highly untrustworthy. The facts are we beat nobody. And we're still in. We should be thankful. Appreciative even..

ND played 4 ranked teams. The same as Tennessee.

Penn State played 2. Indiana played 1.

I guess we're looking at different rankings. I see only one current top-25 team on ND's schedule.

The only current top-25 ranked team ND played was Army. And, they lost to a team (NIU) ranked outside the top 100. Are you implying that ND playing Army at home is comparable to the Vols playing Bama and @UGA, 2 playoff teams? That's ridiculous.

Penn State's biggest win was at home against an over-ranked #24 Illinois. Their next biggest win was a 1-pt victory at 6-5 Minnesota or an overtime win at 5-7 Wisconsin. Indiana hasn't beaten any ranked team and lost by 23 to the only ranked team they played. So, yes, I can make a strong case that the Vols deserve to be ranked ahead of ND and PSU.

I don't make the rankings. Us playing Georgia means nothing since we lost. ND has a better strength of record than Tennessee, which was my original point that they aren't getting the ridiculous bias that they normally get.

Edit: And to add on, I think Tennessee should be ahead of PSU and Indiana. Hopefully, PSU gets blown out so we can host them.

No, ND SOS - 57 UT SOS - 28 Per On3
ND - 78 UT - 22 Per SI
ND - 62 UT - 53 Per Sagarin

I don't see anywhere that ND has a better SOS than the Vols. In every case, their SOS is much worse.

So, it means nothing that a loss at UGA is 100X better than a loss at home against NIU? What the he!! are you smoking? There is no logical reasoning that rewards ND for an obvious powder puff schedule with no wins against a top 20 team vs. ANY 2-loss SEC team with a win over a playoff team. NONE! ND would have at least 3 losses with any SEC team's schedule.

There are no football related arguments that might lead someone to think Ohio State has a better resume? None?

Except for the fact that they beat 2 top 10 CFP teams and lost to the #1 team by 1 point. Outside of that there is no football related argument.
