Did he edit to say something different? My take is just explaining what the committee will look at. Not saying we won’t be 1 or don’t deserve it.
That’s fair. I have just seen it talked about for a couple days now and honestly I didn’t know that part of it either.Looked like whining to me that we really haven’t beat any team in the Top 25 when we beat they have dropped out. I just asked who he thought had a better resume’. That could transfer to who does he think the committee will rank highest SOS.
When we beat Georgia it won't really matter.If I understand the process correctly, wins vs ranked opponents only applies to the playoff poll. It doesn’t matter who is ranked in the AP poll when we played them.
Alabama and LSU will be ranked tonight. Kentucky is on the fence. Pitt and Florida will not be ranked. Georgia will add to our number of ranked opponents next week.
Us being ranked #1 is absolutely the best thing that could’ve happened. Even if we lose Saturday now we would only drop to 6. Had we been ranked 3or4 then a loss puts us at 8 or worse.If I understand the process correctly, wins vs ranked opponents only applies to the playoff poll.

Go read the article by ESPN on how it works. This takes the preseason polls out of the mix. It explains why it is this way. Florida and Pitt will not be counted as a ranked opponent/win. It’s a fact.
Does it ever occur to people who start threads like this that these teams aren't ranked now in large part because we beat them?
And not only on the score board but we physically beat the crap out of them in a way that has effected them the rest of the year

Is there a model out there to see what they actually look at? Feels good to actually be in a position to look at these things.
No, it's correct. Why should Ohio State get credit for a Top 5 win for beating ND, when ND sucks? UT and UGA played the same Florida team, are we supposed to get a ranked win for beating Florida and they don't? It's the same team. The committee will look at how many wins each team has against teams ranked in their Top 25 tonight. We will likely still have three (Alabama and LSU for sure, with UK probably sneaking in at 24 or 25), that's more than any of the other contenders.
