00:00So let's go into the college football rankings.
00:03I want you to do me a favor.
00:04I want you to tell me what metric they're using because I'm confused.
00:08Every time I watch them go out and try to put these 12 teams together,
00:13I'm lost in what the metric is.
00:15Is it strength of schedule?
00:16Is it who you've won and who you even lost to?
00:20What's the metric you think they're using?
00:22I think they're using a combination of they use strength of schedule.
00:26They use strength of game control.
00:29They use head-to-head when they want to use head-to-head.
00:33They use head-to-head when they don't want to use head-to-head.
00:35And what was explained to me, at least what I got from the committee,
00:39is head-to-head only comes into play if the teams they're comparing are in the same pod.
00:44That's the excuse they used for Miami-Notredame last year when Notre Dame was ahead of Miami
00:48and then Miami-Notredame when Miami got within the same pod as Notre Dame if the teams are close enough.
00:54Now, what's the definition of the pod?
00:56Nobody knows.
00:57That's the beauty of the committee.
00:59Nobody actually knows what they're actually using.
01:02So when you're comparing Tennessee and Alabama, and I know that's been the uproar all week,
01:06is Tennessee blew out Alabama.
01:07How do you have them so far apart?
01:09Per the committee, they're not worthy of being in the same conversation.
01:13So that's basically what they're saying.
01:14When they use the term pod, they're saying Alabama and Tennessee are not worthy of the same conversation.
01:19But when they are, we'll jump Tennessee.
01:21That's what Notre Dame and Miami was all of last year is they're not worthy of the same conversation.
01:26But when they are, Miami is going to jump Notre Dame.
01:29At the end of the day, Dan, it makes no sense.
01:31It's like I've been against the idea of a committee since the day there was an idea of the committee.
01:35Everyone ripped the computers.
01:37Everyone ripped the polls.
01:39That was better than this.
01:40There were other issues involved, like when margin of victory used and when Miami lost out to Florida State after
01:47they beat them head-to-head.
01:48There are other issues with the BCS.
01:50But at the end of the day, you had six really good computer polls, and you had two writers and
01:56or SID polls of people who watched football
02:00and people who knew the sport and the combination of the AP writers and the coaches poll and the six
02:07computers.
02:08Can you imagine, Dan, nowadays what computers can do with AI and all of that?
02:12This was 1996 through 2010.
02:17Leaving it up to 12 people in a room to declare what they want to use and not use and
02:23it's not transparent is ridiculous to me
02:25because you can see it changes every week.
02:28What is the purpose, Dan, of having rankings last week and you decide that Indiana is worthy of being the
02:35number four team in the country?
02:36They didn't play last week.
02:39Sure, their resume got nicked a little bit by Ohio State losing, and you drop them five spots.
02:44What you're telling me is, oops, we made a mistake.
02:46We saw you ranting on social media.
02:48We'll drop Indiana.
02:50Miami, number one in the country.
02:53Undefeated.
02:54UCLA, undefeated number eight.
02:56Neither one played anybody.
02:57One week later, they drop Miami seven spots.
03:00They move UCLA up four spots.
03:01What are we doing?
03:02All they're doing is admitting that the process is flawed week to week.
