Pitt could be the only one loss P4 team that is not ranked

I’ll guess Pitt barely makes the first one

I’ll guess Pitt barely makes the first one

Pitt is still showing up in some projected polls and AP ballots so we will see - 23rd in both polls

Pitt could be the only one loss P4 team that is not ranked

They rank resumes, not teams. 7-1. Only loss to a Top 10ish team. We will be ranked fairly high. Look at the resumes for teams O ranked around us and tell me why they will be higher. You guys get so caught up in polls. Polls are meaningless. The committee starts from scratch and rank RESUMES and ours is still pretty good. Had we won last night, we would have been #9.

Pollsters don’t actually watch games, they just see that SMU won by 3 scores. They’ll move SMU up a few spots and Pitt down a few. We’ll be right around 25.

This isn’t true. There is clearly a power poll and AP-Coaches poll aspect to their rankings.

I'm not sure what you are saying. The CFP rankings wont be an "ESPN FPI" or "Vegas ranking," where Pitt would be very low because we arent all that talented. It ranks resumes. Sure, some of that Vegas element comes into play but that's why I have 1 loss Pitt 18th instead of unranked, where some AP poll voters will have them.

I didnt even look at this to make my ranking but Pitt's strength of record is 14th. Still pretty good and the rest of this lines up fairly well to my rankings

I've said before, that's one of those things that he thinks if he keeps saying it it will actually become true.

It wasn't true the first time he said it, and it still isn't true today. And we only have to go back to last year to see that he's obviously wrong.

Now cue SMF telling everyone why them doing the opposite of what he says they do just last year doesn't actually count.
