OKgolfer 8 Last week: #8. Best win of the season for the undefeated Flames, who are responsible for two of New Mexico State's four losses. Not enough to move up in ranking, as Oregon drops below but Alabama jumps.

bretticus733 14 You can spare me the SOS crap. Liberty doesn't get full autonomy over who they play. Going undefeated is fucking hard, especially when you don't have future NFL players and blue chip guys all over the field like a lot of P5 teams do. Liberty earned that NY6 spot.

_TGT7 15 Liberty is only ranked because they haven’t lost, if they lost even one game, I would send them flying off my rankings. Their SOS is terrible, but undefeated is undefeated, and I believe they should get the NY6 bowl spot over a two loss SMU. If SMU only had one loss or if Tulane won I would’ve supported putting those teams in, but two losses is harder to justify. Kaidon Salter is also a very underrated quarterback.

CriterionCrypt 20 Liberty played the weakest schedule in the country. I know they went undefeated, but I don't think they beat SMU head to head.

hurricaneatx 21 (13-0) - I don't know what to do with Liberty. Metrics say they've been a very good team this year, and they've put up good results against their competition. Problem is, that competition is the worst in the country (#133 SOS). Their two wins against New Mexico State, including the C-USA title, are the best barometer for evaluating Liberty, but even then that is a very bad barometer. Their unblemished season garners them a spot in the rankings, but the shambolic strength of schedule holds them towards the back of the top 25. Quality wins: New Mexico State [2x]
