I don't understand why the committee rewarded Osu with a home game after that Melee with UM. That's the part I don't get.

Simple. Because the committee was controlled by the Big 10.

The committee chair being a Big 10 AD is the biggest conflict of interest I can imagine. There was no way he was going to allow a Big Ten team to have to play at an SEC venue - especially this one.

And every decision made demonstrates just how overtly and intentionally biased he was in terms of where he put teams and what their seeds were.

The more I think about it, I think it came down to Ohio State beat Penn State and that was (on paper) a bigger win than our win over 9-3 Alabama.

The real issue is Penn State. They had 2 losses as well and played no one. The committee put too much energy into not having the Conference Championship Games not dock teams and it messed up the field.

Ohio State wasn't a fraud. They played Oregon close and beat Penn State. It was Indiana and Penn State from the B1G that had bloated records.

Giving a G5 team a bye week and a 3 seed was a joke as well. If you give Notre Dame that seed and move teams up, we are the 8 seed and hosting.

Or that Ohio State clearly had a better resume. It was either a big conspiracy to pick on Tennessee or OhSt deserved it more, but definitely one of those 2.

The biggest crime of the entire playoffs rankings was the decision to not punish teams for conference championship losses, while allowing those games to boost SOS rankings for the teams. Texas’s, SMU’s, and Penn State’s Strength of schedules increased greatly based on those exhibition games.

You shouldn’t be allowed to take one if not both.

Very true statement. However, if the chairman, do you not believe the SEC teams would have been seeded in the better positions? That is why data should be feed into the computer and let the result come out the other end. Human involvement, is these situations will always end up with bias results.

You guys have to look at this without our Orange glasses on. OSU played a close game in the Oregon game, vs US losing by 14 to GA. They lost a rivalry game to a 7-5 Much, vs US losing to 6-6 Arkansas. Their best win is against Penn St, who is #6 in the CFP. Our best win was against Ala, who didn't make the CFP. It sux, I would have paid whatever it cost to come watch a CFP Game in Neyland. But, when you look at what I posted, it CLEARLY shows why they got the home game and not us. It's our fault for losing to $hitty Arkansas and for taking a 14 pt loss to GA. Even though it was a 7 pt game with less than 3 mins left. Nobody is getting favoritism nor is anyone against us. It's very obvious why they got it over us. GBO!

I think I have no idea. How NIU beat ND still mystifies me. They’re not even a good team.

Just like how we lost to Arkansas. We had NO business losing that game. When we hold teams under 20 pts, there's no excuse to catch an L.

Not even in the same league as far as a loss. Arkansas is a far better team; far worse environment.
