75% Informative

The committee had a whole week to fix the mistakes it had already made, and it chose not to! But that doesn't mean there's no reason to be outraged.

Miami went from No. 4 in the first rankings all the way to No. 8 now, thanks to a one -possession loss to a solid (and underrated) Georgia Tech team.

Texas has played exactly two Power 4 opponents with a winning record this year .

The committee is acting every bit like the AP voters of old, dropping Miami and Georgia because of recency bias rather than the sum total of the results.

Only twice before have four teams not currently in a power conference league (or the Pac-12) been ranked concurrently -- in the wild COVID year of 2020 , and for a single week in 2019 .
