1 loss Oregon moves ahead of undefeated Florida State in the playoff rankings....

Does that mean Florida State could be left out of the top 4 without even losing? That would be crazy.....

And Baylor has already beaten TCU....but TCU could make it instead of them.

And UCLA jumps 7 spots for beating Washington?

I'll let things shake out, but at this point, I think the AP poll looks like a more accurate ranking to me.

Long expanded on the one-loss Oregon over unbeaten Florida State decision, saying, "We clearly looked at the win-loss record. It is important. But we also looked beyond the records at other factors that indicated overall strength. Based on the committee's view of Florida State's strength of schedule, and their body of work compared to Oregon's strength of schedule and body of work, the committee voted that Oregon was No. 2. It was a very close call, but the committee placed a significant value on Oregon's quality of wins over three top 25 teams, two of which were on the road."

Long said the committee considered Oregon's loss to Arizona, but noted the Wildcats are now ranked No. 14 and said the committee factored injuries into the consideration. He also noted that in last week's rankings, two-loss Ole Miss was ranked ahead of four one-loss teams.

"The same thinking applies here," Long said. "You will note that this week we have seven two-loss teams ahead of two one-loss teams. Our approach is consistent: strength of schedule and body of work are important."

So all that talk in this thread about sec bias was bs?
 
Utes should really be 8-1 right now. They really whiffed on both of those games. Yikes. One good QB away from the playoffs. Honestly.
