[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2540325, member: 72863"] The committee tends to look behind the wins and the losses more than the AP does, which is good IMO. Seems to me like the sole judge of how competent the committee is or the AP voters are is pretty much basely solely on where TCU is ranked. As for the conference structures, the problem is the imbalances within the leagues. In some years a Big 10 East team might draw Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa (which would make for a brutal overall conference schedule most of the time) and a Big 10 West team might draw Indiana, Rutgers and Maryland, which would be a ridiculously easy slate for that team. That is what is ridiculous. It's why I don't put much stock in "division champs" or "conference championships"....they are decided too much by breaks in scheduling.....i.e. who doesn't have to play the best teams or who gets to play their one or two tough games at home. This year Clemson actually played about as tough an ACC schedule as possible so its hard to say they didn't earn their spot. Wisconsin on the other hand..... [/QUOTE]
