@KevinKelley,
No matter what rationale Pollsters, 15 Autonomous Five Invitational Committee members, Math algorithms, the eye test is; C ollusive F ive P ower Trust Committee is wrong to place a Head to head Winner: Michigan State behind Loser: Michigan.
2 each One loss Teams: UAlabama, Ohio StateU ahead of undefeated UCincinnati.
Dan-ke for publishing the AP 63 sportswriters Poll who are not All beholden to BCS, LLC the C orrupt F ive P roduct of the 65 Autonomous Teams in 5 Conferences VS 65 Dependent Teams in 5 Conferences & Independents.
ND is an Associate member of the ACC with preferential scheduling arrangements in FB & automatic inclusion as an ACC FB Member during the Covid19 Year. That = Not Independent.
Somehow I believe that if Oklahoma won their games by over 10 points they would be ranked higher by the committee. I however do not believe that Cincinnati would be ranked higher if they won their games by more points.
Conference matters more than it should.
