The committee’s first ranking isn’t very different from the AP’s.
There are only minor changes in the top 25: Memphis and Cincinnati are out; Pitt and Iowa are in. I agree with those changes. Memphis was my most overrated team of the week, and Cincinnati was also on the overrated list.
One difficulty with the list: there are no teams outside of the Fab Four except Notre Dame, which means that there’s no way to determine the fifth-highest-ranking conference champ, a team that gets an automatic spot in the playoff. (It would have been Memphis, based on the AP rankings.) I don’t know how they would resolve that. Not that it matters. Whichever team gets that spot is likely to be a sacrificial lamb at the altar of the 5th seed (currently Georgia), but at least it gives us a fun underdog to pull for.
For now, I’m assuming that Memphis would get that 12th seed. Therefore, if these were the final rankings, both Texas and Oklahoma would be out, replaced by Virginia and Memphis as the 11th and 12 seed.
I believe there will be many changes in the weeks to come. For example, BYU is currently ranked 7th, but their next three games are all tough, and they will be 10-point underdogs this week! (Similarly, Sagarin’s system favors Texas Tech by 9.) The BYU Cougars are at a fork in the road. One path proves they belong; the other banishes them from the titanic twelvesome.

Wow, this guy is to Dawid as Dawid is to a normal guy. Bone-us points for not even picking one spelling for your name.
With discussions about literature, sports, language, history and current events, this website is probably not the one for you. People who can read and write probably get more enjoyment out of it.
Scoop’s note: He used the full racist and homophobic terms. I censored them because I don’t especially want to appear in Google searches for those … er … colorful terms.
Wow, illiterate AND a bigot. How original.
