Not only SHOULD it matter, it is a requirement for the committee to look at. What planet are you living on?

It should not be though. How would you feel if someone knocked out the BAMA QB knowing that would kill their playoff chances. It may cause star players to refuse to play in late season games if it keeps up.
 
The more I think about it, the more I realize the committee was looking ahead when ranking the teams and that is what destroyed the apple cart. Bama was 8th last week, right where they would have stayed if GA beat them being the best two lost team. Oregon was 5th with them clearly expecting them to beat Washington.

Their projected final four would have been GA, Mich, FSU and Oregon. Texas would have been the first out because their best win was a two loss Bama and Oregon would have beat undefeated Washington.

Washington winning was the wheel on the cart breaking and Bama winning was it going over a cliff. Once Bama had the best win, you couldn’t leave Texas out.

I think it's pretty much gonna break down like this in the next five years:

SEC gets FSU, Miami, Louisville, Clemson, NC State and VT(culturally good fits)

Big Ten gets UNC, Duke, UVA, Georgia Tech, ND(again culturally good fits)

Wake, Pitt, Syracuse and BC get caught in the chaos.

I agree. The Big Ten values the academics and viewing audience. I also know that GT and the Big 10 flirted before the current grant of rights but the president vetoed it.

Wild week in college basketball. Duke goes down and drops 13 slots in the polls, UNC wins and jumps 10 spots up in the polls. Kentucky loses to UNCW, Villanova gets beat by a high school team. And Boeheim is in the broadcast booth.

FSU was my pick to win it all at the beginning of the year, and I whole heartedly believe they would have beaten the daylights out of everyone they played all the way through had they stayed healthy....but they didn't, and that is life. All this crying about it that the ACC is doing is just digging them a massive hole.....its childish really. Make your statement, and be done with it.

Not sure if it's true or not but I heard on sports talk radio today that the ACC was who was behind college football not going to the 12 team playoff this year. They stood in the way. Not sure The validity of that claim but it's pretty interesting.

So when they can't stop UGA, what will be your excuse?

Thatll depend on who actually plays the meaningless bowl game of course. Gotta at least act like you know something about how football works. I played the game at the college level and understand it and what it means to win games unlike most of the committee or keyboard warriors on this site.

When do Ohio State and KState get knocked down to lesser bowls since their qbs are in the portal

Facts right there! Qb1 goes down so the entire team is penalized not given the chance to step up(which fsu did).

Georgia should have been ranked 5th. They're a better team than FSU and possibly Texas.

Subjective statement just like the committee thinking. That's why they play the game..thats why 13 wins matters..you play the game to win. Not go out and practice and look at rosters and declare who's the best like figure skating.
But I agree no way Georgia isn't one of the top 4 teams.

I guess we'll see when they play each other. But my opinion really doesn't matter I thought Georgia would roll over the tide.

QB1 went down, QB2 and 3 were given chances to show they could compete with the big boys.....they STRUGGLED AT BEST against teams that would have been extremely inferior opponents if FSU had QB1. So, that tells the world, FSU is not, nor can they be, the same team as they were with QB1 who beat LSU earlier in the year. Did FSU "earn" the right, yes, undefeated conference champs....but are they a top 4 team, no, not even a top 10. So they committee did what they were entrusted to do do, and that is put in the best 4 teams. Its extremely simple if you take the Bama hating glasses off.

Thank you!!

So lets say UGA is 4, Bama would be 3, Texas 2, then who is 1???

See how your thought process is flawed.....its not just about what your record is, or who you beat or loss to, its about who the committee thinks is the bet 4 teams as we wit here today.
 
The uptick in crime including carjackings has led to the Washington Capitals and Wizards to purchase land across the river in Alexandria Va.
That's Reagan National in the background and the new Potomac Yards metro stop in the foreground. Arena scheduled to be finished in 2028. So much development there now.

I dont know. I've spent a lot of time in Chinatown and I've never felt unsafe. It sure seems like the area is going to have all the ambiance of a strip mall in the suburbs. I mean, I love Alexandria itself but that just aint it.

Yeah, i mean i grew up in the DC suburbs. Lived most of my life there. I never felt unsafe either. I rode the metro all over the place. Sorta sounds like a bit of a cop out. DC city council has an updated offer for the ownership group today. We shall see. I'm just of the opinion that basically all stadiums/arenas should be in the city they serve. This Potomac Yards site is very close to the city however.
