Quote:These rankings have become a joke. I'm not even an FSU fan, but twelve wins is two more wins than ten wins. FSU has won 12 games. TCU has won 10. How can TCU's resume be better? The rankings have become purely subjective now. 

 

Quoting Jeff Long: "I think they are very close to being No. 3. We spent a lot of time in debate on Florida State, and TCU for that matter. Florida State continues to be that undefeated team. But in many of the committee members' eyes, they've struggled in some games against unranked opponents. That has had an impact."

 

What happened to a win being a win? I strangely miss the BCS rankings.

 

The loss column is actually more important because of bye weeks. You can have one team that is 10-1 and another that is 10-2. The 10-1 team would be ranked higher based on the smaller number of losses.

 

Rankings were also subjective in the stupid BCS formula. The fact that there is more than one Top 25 list proves it. So what's new here?
