Cecil Hurt made reference to the same kind of illogical logic from the media in general:
"For instance, there was immediate lobbying for TCU to jump ahead of Alabama in the next poll — because TCU got a one-point win over a team Alabama beat by 10 in the season opener. That's what passes for logic these days."

I know, I know, none of these rankings matter if Bama runs the table from here on out. But, I found Danny boy's logic laughable. In his playoff rankings, he gave the reason that he has TCU in the top 4, is their tough 1 point win, in tough conditions, over W. VA. The reason that he gave for not having Bama in the top 4, is that they do not have a signature win. He obviously thinks it is tougher for TCU to beat W. VA by 1 point than it is for Bama to beat them by 10 points.
Thanks for the post. Is there a link for the story you mention? It is a video on ESPN's ncaaf page: Click here for link

Around Campus / The Quad / Treadwell was down before he fumbled.

I posted about this on another forum, so you may have already read it there.
I know we needed for Ole Miss to lose, but there is one angle I have heard no comments on. Everyone is talking horse collar, helmet to helmet, etc. But, if you do a frame by frame, Treadwell's ankle was on the ground prior to losing control of the ball. My understanding is that a player is down when any part of the leg above his foot touches the ground. That would include the knee, the calf, the thigh, the butt, or the ankle.
When the Auburn player rolled on his foot, the ankle touched the turf. I say he was down at this point, and it should have been first and goal for Ole Miss on the 1/2 yard line.
Look at Wikipedia and this is what it says:
"Downed player
A player carrying the ball (the runner) is downed when any of the following occurs:
Any part of the runner other than his hands or feet touches the ground. Ankles and wrists count as downed."

Not sure I understand your system, but it would seem that AU playing MSU, OM, Bama, and UGA should total more than 57 points.
Right, I left out the SECCG for AU in error. That would change theirs to 68 & 113. I changed the original post. I only counted games remaining on each team's schedule as someone pointed out. Thanks.

Well done, but another way to construe your metric is that is not so much a difficulty index as an opportunity index. We have an opportunity 2 of the top 4 teams, as well as #16, and whatever UGA is when/if they get to Atlanta. If we win all our season games and fail to get to Atlanta because OM stays at 1 loss. We will have an excellent case to make for a playoff spot.
Right, Bama must win out and Ole Miss must lose an SEC game in order for Bama to get to the SECCG. We would still have a chance to go to the playoffs as a 1 loss team even if Ole Miss wins out and goes to the SECCG instead of us. That is an easier route, but does not assure us that we will get in the playoffs.

Looking at the remaining schedules of the top 6 teams, plus GA, it appears Bama has the toughest road to the playoffs, and to the NC. I assigned points for difficulty, in reverse order, for playing teams currently ranked by the new committee, giving 25 difficulty points for playing the #1 team and 1 point for playing the #25 team. No points given for playing teams outside the top 25. I had to do some assumptions on conference championship games, and pairings in the playoffs. Bama...........72 points to get to the playoffs, 117 points to win it. Ole Miss.......63 points to get to the playoffs, 108 points to win it. AU..............68 points to get to the playoffs, 113 points to win it. Miss St........58 points to get to the playoffs, 103 points to win it. UGA...........43 points to get to the playoffs, 88 points to win it. Oregon.......12 points to get to the playoffs, 56 points to win it. FSU............2 points to get to the playoffs, 43 points to win it. Bottom line, I just wasted 15 minutes of my life to come up with useless, highly non-scientific, information.
