Haven't beaten a ranked team all year. They are a good team but the committee seems to be taking strength of schedule very seriously
I agree. The number of "Quality Wins" & "The Complete Body Of Work" in the entire season counts above all else with the Committee.
Someone should use the computer rankings and make a BCS type poll to see where this years POLL compares to what would have been in the previous BCS years. Would probably be close.
I tend to think that the cream rises to the top every year but the "Strength Of Schedule" will change with the gimme games becoming less normal.
Auburn got left out of the NC game in 2004 because they had the "Citadel" on the schedule that year, they were told.
Same reason Oregon moved above FSU this week. FSU has an incredibly easy schedule this year and was almost beaten a few times.
When you play in a weak conference, you're at a disadvantage. Especially when you schedule patsy's amongst them.
