If Ohio St loses to Michigan and we win out then yes we should be number 1.

As long as there is subjectivity in deciding playoff spots and seedings, the table will always be tilted in some programs' favor. It's unjust and it plain sucks, but all A&M can do is keep winning games.

Aggies win out.
Ohio State lose to Michigan.
Indiana lose to Ohio State.

Aggies #1

Exactly right.

And as I've seen stated, if any other SEC team had our resume. If Indiana had our resume, they'd be number 1.

Yes we will all end up playing to win the championship but it does not justify how things are currently being done with very poor reasoning and minimal evidence

We have every right to be considered number 1. Without question number 2. Indiana was LUCKY to win against a bad Penn St team and we demolished Mizzou at Mizzou.

They effed up big by having a Baylor AD be the chair of the CFP

I don't think your use of the word "right" has meaning in this context unless you meant we are entitled in which case you don't have any substantiation of the notional entitlement.

Does that mean this is a good process? No. But don't make it worse by using poor reasoning to fail in attacking it.

And, of course, Kiffin is right. What else does Texas A&M need to do to be ranked No. 1? The Aggies have the No. 1 strength of record, a supposedly critical stat for the committee. A&M has five wins vs. FPI top-35 teams; Ohio State has four. A&M's best win is vs. No. 9 Notre Dame. Ohio State's is vs. No. 10 Texas. A&M has played the 15th-toughest schedule so far (per ESPN's metrics), while Ohio State has played the 41st.

Ultimately, the difference between being the top seed and the No. 3 seed is minimal, and given that Ohio State and Indiana will likely face off in a Big Ten title game, odds are the Aggies will enter the postseason at No. 2. No harm done, really. But it's the principle of the thing

What espn writer has to say

When you guys finally accept the real reasons their are committees that determine the seedings, you will have more peace in your life

It's become painfully obvious you don't understand why seeding exists

Bring back the BCS poll.

Committee will always be biased.

BCS poll is even more biased.

At least its transparent and fair.

I would like to see the BCS rankings with the margin of victory added back into the calculations.

Yes they will have to meet up in conference title game. Luckily for us Bama will refuse to go to Atlanta and we will get the win via forfeit.

the most disappointing thing...

is the realization that the committee is just waiting, waiting for the Ags to drop a game so they can push A&M down to the #7 or #8 seed

---

Drop two and we are out entirely

But not a 4- loss tu. They would get left out and laghed at.

If the committee is just waiting to drop us out of the top four with a loss, then it doesn't matter if they sees us 2 or 3. They can drop us out just as easily from either position. They have already shown that they don't care about having any logic to their explanations.

It's not supposed to matter, but you have to wonder if the Committee is subconsciously trying to avoid matchups between conference teams, especially among the top 4 seeds. Look for them to keep a Big 10 team at 1 and SEC at 4 and one of each at 2 and 3. Of course, in this scenario, it doesn't matter whether TAMU and IU are 2 or 3. They would still play each other in the semifinals and the same for OSU and Alabama. Needless to say, there will likely be considerable reshuffling over the next few weeks, particularly after the Big 10 and SEC championship games. But, in any case, I expect the committee to try to avoid inta-conference and repeat matchups. That just makes sense to optimize fan interest.

Which team had a more difficult game last week? Texas A&M vs Miz w/3rd string QB , no best offensive weapon and missing 2 defensive starters or Indiana vs Penn St no Big Ten wins and a lame duck coach?

---

Penn St was also missing their starting QB. A little fact the playoff committee and other talking heads fail to mention.

There is clearly an agenda against A&M and I'd bet money the Baylor AD is leading it, but all we can do is win and not give them the excuse they crave to leave us out.

The weird part is the tessus love though. You wouldnt think the Baylor boy who also has a degree from Indiana wouldn't be so high on them.

I will say it ks quite amusing though that national news is putting him, ESPN and the CFP through the ringer though

"We have every right to be considered number 1"

Suppose they were academic rankings. Would as much energy, *****ing and green garden eliminating from the zoo be as loud as the football crap? Just curious.

Why are there no Aggie delegates on the committee?
