On the aggregate Vanderbilt moved down but how many individuals moved them down and who did they move them behind

That may be dumb too. But if the reason they moved down is because a bunch of voters finally put Texas tech and BYU ahead of them it feels a little different

Appalachian State. Rule was changed after they beat Michigan.

tbh, I think they got Miami above Vandy correct. Also think you could argue Texas over Vandy too.

Texas beat Vandy and Vandy’s best win is 8-4 Missouri

Missouri is 8-4 but their best win might be 6-6 Louisiana (Lafayette)

Texas needed to beat Florida to make it a lock
Vanderbilt needed to beat one of the two ranked teams they played to make it a lock
I know they’re SEC, but their schedule wasn’t good enough to be a lock at 10-2


This year. Wisconsin would’ve made it at 9-3 with their schedule. Nebraska probably would’ve needed 11-1 with theirs.
With the schedule imbalance there are different numbers of wins needed to get to different places.
People keep saying Texas is getting punished for playing Ohio state. They aren’t, SOS is why they’re the only 3 loss team being discussed. They’re SOS is so tough people are overlooking a loss to Florida.
Likewise, bama is in at 10-2 with a loss to Florida state while 1 loss BYU was behind them due to lack of SOS.
