[QUOTE="BearlyAFrog, post: 2809485, member: 72559"] I would also have no problem using those rankings as the official criteria for selection. Again, you're looking for an argument where there is none. There are lots of different ways to look at it. [URL='https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/points-per-game']Points per game[/URL] has OU 6th, Utah 14th, and BU 23rd. [URL='https://www.teamrankings.com/college-football/stat/average-scoring-margin']Margin of victory[/URL] has Utah 5th, OU 12th, BU 15th. As I keep typing these rankings out I keep running into the same team near the top of the lists: Alabama. If we're using game control and eye test and the rankings don't matter much, then Alabama should be in. No one here is going to argue that they're not a great team and no one here would argue that they couldn't beat OU, Utah, or BU more often than not. At the end of the day, a decision will need to be made and if the decision making criteria was clear and objective then we wouldn't have a problem. We also wouldn't have a need for the hours of pundit conjecture and an entire cable television show dedicated to the revealing of some rankings. [/QUOTE]
