One additional note here….
The dialogue has covered only three teams; Bama, FSU, and a lesser amount Texas.
So, someone give Washington’s year end review please…
Anotha additional note:
The Committee is culpable in almost EVERY way here. They HAD to have Oregon ranked ahead of BOTH Bama and Texas in EVERY POLL before Championship weekend.....even after Oregon lost to Washington in the Regular Season.
Texas NEVER jumped Oregon, no matter how well they played....and Oregon kept their high ranking by the Committee "freezing" wins. Freezing the rankings of the teams when Oregon played them. Colorado (remember when) was ranked in the teens when Oregon vaporized them.....
By keeping Texas and Bama paired (Texas would be ahead 1 slot of Bama no matter what), the Committee only had three choices (after Championship Weekend):
1) Michigan, Washington, Texas, Bama....BOTH Texas and Bama Jump FSU (The Choice they made)
2) Michigan, Washington, FSU, Texas....this was my expectation
3) Michigan, Washington, FSU, and GEORGIA....they would have had to snub BOTH Bama and Texas, and frankly, that's only way I could see them including FSU
And anotha last note:
Bama, Texas, Georgia, and Ohio state are ALL WITHOUT QUESTION BETTER THAN WASHINGTON
