[QUOTE="shb5007, post: 15478969, member: 75568"] My issue with the committee is consistency with criteria. It is important from year to year, and even week to week. 1.) Winning your conference HAS to mean something. It just has to. All athletes learn that from day 1, into high school, into college, and into the Pro's. If Penn State wins this weekend, how can you put OSU and UM into the top 4 when they didn't win their division, more less, their Conference. It doesn't mean everything, I get that. There is no way Virginia Tech would be a top 4 team if they upset Clemson (please), but that is an entirely different situation. 2.) Strength of conference HAS to mean something. Most people agree the top of the B1G is the strongest of any conference in the Country. So again, if that is the case, how do you leave out the Champion of that conference? That could be the argument for Wisconsin should they win. 3.) Strength of schedule and quality of wins HAS to mean something. This is what helps teams like Ohio State and Michigan with quality wins over teams like Oklahoma and Colorado. 4.) Losses HAVE to mean something. This is where my issue comes in with teams like Tennessee and even Michigan. Tennessee simply, does not deserve to be ranked. Period. Michigan is the ONLY team in the top 9 to have a loss to an un-ranked team (Iowa). However, Iowa should be ranked. But still, if the committee is so in love with Michigan, how can they not credit Iowa with beating them? 5.) Picking the best team (right now) HAS to mean something. The committee and media seem to love teams like USC who have improved as the season progressed. Well how about a team like Penn State? They currently have one of the longest winning streaks in the entire Country. PSU is a team that has steadily improved, and has looked solid all year when healthy. Yes, they lost on the road to Michigan, but that was back on September 24th, when they were playing 6th and 7th deep defensive players. Michigan has lost 2 of their last 3, including that "bad" loss to Iowa. The same Iowa team that Penn State beat 41-14 in the month of November. Comparing some PSU, UM, and OSU wins in Conference play. Vs. Rutgers (PSU by 39, UM by 78, OSU by 58) - Advantage UM Vs. Indiana (PSU by 14, UM by 10, OSU by 21) - Advantage OSU Vs. Maryland (PSU by 24, UM by 56, OSU by 59) - Advantage UM / OSU Vs. Michigan State (PSU by 33, UM by 9, OSU by 1) - Advantage PSU OSU did not play Iowa, Penn State beat them by 27, UM lost to them by 1. OSU has a solid Conference win over Northwestern, UM with a win over Wisconsin (most impressive), and PSU with a win over Minnesota. It is going to be interesting to see what happens this week. Either way, Penn State needs to take care of business. If they do, let the real fun begin. [/QUOTE]
