[QUOTE="Franklin Delano Bluth, post: 1362807, member: 44648"] Completely understand re: UCF - but this isn't a new narrative. P5 teams have a heavy advantage due to inherent SOS boost they get from being in a stronger conference. Teams like UCF Have to understand that, and do a better job of scheduling their out of conference opponents. The win vs. auburn was a great one, but it was too little too late in the eyes of the committee. The system isn't perfect, and it won't be until they move to an 8 team playoff. But until then, there are going to be deserving teams left off, conference champions even. Who should have gotten in over bama? Ohio state was the first team out, and they lost to an unranked team by 30. Wisconsin was next, and they had a very soft schedule and lost to that Ohio state team. Next up is auburn and they finished with 3 losses. UCF was all the way down at #12 (which I don't agree with) but it just goes to show how important SOS is to the committee. [/QUOTE]
