I don't like the idear of players selling their glory, but it's their's and they can do what they wish

$400K is significant

Anyone catch NC State going down to ... Wake last night? I wouldn't care if it weren't obvious that Beamer's trying to prop up the ACC to the committee. Joel Klatt is going to keep having a field day with that one.

wake consistently gives NCST trouble... i just posted on this in the SEC board... this dynamic- whatever the magic is that makes it possible- is one of the reasons i love this game.  NCST's football program is superior in every aspect to Wake- yet WF gives them trouble consistently.

Wake is a well-coached team, been above .500 the past two years. Been bad this year, but that’s hardly the black mark, it’s been historically. 

The idea NC State was where it was because someone on the committee is fluffing them seems a bit dubious. I thought they were overranked, but they were where they were for the most bland reason, they were 6-2. I suppose you could stump for Florida off that Mizzou loss, Miss State a team averaging 5.4 points against non-Auburn ranked teams, maybe 6-3 MSU. But it hardly seems some sign of anything other than losses remain king. 

This year is high on parity, which is why we have only 15 teams with 1 or fewer losses, 28 at 2 or fewer 

I see what appears to be an unusual number of 3 loss teams ranked.  If you ignore the G5 teams, there are a high percentage of them relatively, I think, for this point in the season.

It's easier to say "X is over ranked" than to be OK with raising whoever was behind them, often as not.

Last year this week, there were five such teams in the CFP rankings. 
There are nine this season. 

Where's all the bias for the SEC???

Yeah, the SEC is pretty evenly distributed there (some too high, other too low or just right). I've been fine with their rankings. Even LSU in the Top 10 is fine by me if they go back to their pre-Bama ways.

Syracuse, NC State and BC are something else, though. Three teams in the Top 17, who may not even belong in the Top 40.

Based on team strength, sure. But the beauty of those rankings is they say those teams are more likely to fall. And this week, two will.
