My best guess as to the reasoning?
-Beat No. 6 by 4 TDs on the road
-Beat No. 21 by 31
-Beat a Taylor-led MSST by 23 on the road
-Lost to No. 2 by 3
-All 5 wins have been by double digits
-Lost by 16 to UT in Knoxville after a physical game vs. UGA (could argue UGA had an equally bad loss as a 20.5-pt favorite). Committee may believe those were the result of both teams beating up on one another. Bama was also missing WR1, C1, CB1 and DT1. OG1 played through an illness
-Can’t really say FSU was an ugly win because 1) they won by 2 TDs and 2) that same FSU team took No. 1 to double OT on the road
Don’t know how much of this they did or didn’t take into account. Haven’t looked the part since the injuries, but that timeline also coincides with the step up in competition (hard to know how much of each has played a role). Should be healthier against LSU, as will LSU. Will know more after Saturday, I suppose.

Has there been visceral outrage for 6-2 Ohio State being ranked eight spots ahead of 7-2 USC, which it just lost to 30-18, or do we just save that for SEC teams?

We mourn the passing of the legendary June Jones.
June’s greatest legacy wasn’t the records, championships, or the offense.
It was the people he believed in, the opportunities he gave, and the lives he forever changed.

If Sleeper’s business plan didn’t include trying to leverage gold checkmarks into parasitic engagement, perhaps I’d be a little more generous. It’s not you. It’s your bosses. Even if everyone sees it and knows the score, I prefer not to oblige things that are cheap and vacuous.

The internet: Celtics ALWAYS blow 20 point leads under Joe.
Real life: Tuesday snapped a 49-game Celtics win streak when leading by 20. Under Joe, they fall to 136-5.
Their win percentage when trailing by 20 under Joe (13.3%), is four times better than their opponents (3.5%).
