Matt Hinton@MattRHinton·
again were these people alive for the BCS? everyone and their mother *despised* the BCS because its formula sometimes spit out results that contradicted the human polls. now we can't leave it up to humans because some feelings got hurt. get off the bubble or get over yourself.

you'll never find a more foolproof precedent than "don't lose to Vandy"

As we argue about SMU or Alabama for the final playoff spot today, let's be thankful we're talking about 2- and 3-loss teams for what's possibly the 12th seed and a road playoff game. Not picking between two conference champs with one loss between them for one of four tickets.

I'm probably the least cynical person here about the committee's process. even last year when they screwed FSU, a decision I strongly disagreed with, I still saw it as a good-faith call because there was a positive case for Bama. not this year. cannot justify it.

shouldn't even need to be said but dumping SMU for a 3-loss SEC team that spent the weekend watching from the couch would be a huge mistake. none of those teams is compelling enough to set a precedent that qualifying for your conference championship game isn't worth it.

@HoagMichael well, he will eventually. I'm just saying he's in that category of legit talent, by no means just a volume guy who goes in the 7th round and is never heard from again.

obviously you can't call Ashton Jeanty underrated but it really must be emphasized more how much of his production he creates himself. national leader in missed tackles forced by a mile. per PFF he's run for more yards *after contact* than all but two other FBS backs have total.

@lambdinj with the exception of an undefeated BYU, I wouldn't be surprised if Boise wound up with a first-round bye over the Big 12 champ

@MattRHinton I think they have a chance to make some real noise if they can win that first game. I would be surprised if they lost to the Big 12 champ in a second round match up.

6.0 yards per attempt after contact. no other RB with 50 carries is close.

@cfb_ultimate that would be one of the borked scenarios, yes. I'm at least two weeks away from wading through potential tiebreakers.

plenty of ways for this to get borked but the straightforward chalk scenario in the SEC now is the winner of Georgia/Tennessee vs. the winner of A&M/Texas in the championship game

South Carolina's record under Shane Beamer in home games that kick off at 7 pm or later: 13-3 South Carolina's record under Shane Beamer in all other games: 11-18

SMU is legitimately good but this is the time of year when you can start predicting games based strictly on factors like "does Pitt seem good enough to be 8-0?"

I just need to see Nico Iamalavea play one complete game against a real opponent before I believe in Tennessee. all of the other pieces are there.
