I bet they will drop ND to 4 to get a Bama - ND guaranteed


Dec 2, 2018, 10:15 AM

game. They will say it is because ND does not play a conference championship, but it really will be just to create a ratings booster game.

That is my predicition.

1 Bama
2 Clemson
3 Oklahoma
4 Notre Dame

I feel like they’ll do it to give Bama the easier game.

OU is a real threat to whoever they play because that offense is unbelievable.

I’m not sure if the committee sees their play yesterday warrants enough to raise them over ND and UGA though. ND deserves to drop because they sat at home but does OU deserve that 3 slot? I’m not sure. Hopefully they keep ND at three so we can get a shot at them.

I don’t think so.

Do you really think all of those people on the committee, from a variety of schools and conferences, is secretly pulling for Bama and manipulates the ratings accordingly?!?

Notre Dame is undefeated and has done so against a good schedule. They did nothing to deserve being moved down a spot. I believe they will be #3 and Oklahoma #4.

What the committee also knows:
(Assuming they are thinking ahead for their beloved Bama)

1. They know that Oklahoma will score. A lot
Thus making Bama look less than ‘dominant’
2. Notre Dame will bring ‘tradition’ to the game....and very little else. Making Bama look ‘dominant’
3. They want Bama in Miami, not Dallas
4. They know Clemson would curb stomp ND and they would rather have ‘Bama’ have an easier road

It is what is! ???????

Go Tigers!!!

Why not Clemson moving up to #1?

That's a potential manipulation...

... That would prove shinnanigans. And very possible.

I think spreading those ratings across two games is just as effective


Dec 2, 2018, 10:36 AM

I also don't think the committee would actually screw with the seeding just for ratings. If they did they would at least need the teams to be close so that they could offer an easy cover story, and I don't think they have that this year. 1-3 seems abundantly clear.
