***Official College Football Playoff Rankings***

1-3 seeds would win 56-3. Do an 8 team bracket. P5 winners, highest ranked G5, and next 2 highest ranked.

Had to take a couple liberties. Put us #4 due to conference championship but we would face the Aggies no matter what. Dropped Clemson out after losing to Notre Dame and slotted everyone in their seeds

Whether we're 6 or 7 tonight really doesn't matter much. #6 helps for that 3% chance we get in the CFP but if Georgia is #6 and we're #7, we'll jump them back next week.

Stewart Mandel (and others) have Indiana in NY6 instead of us (if we lose) and whether 6/7 isn't going to impact that. Indiana with one loss will get in over an 8-3 Iowa State unfortunately. Indiana's best win is 2-3 Maryland or 2-3 Wisconsin who has scored 20 points in the last 30 days.

I can't wait until next season and the CFP and pundits starts ranking teams and still puts the same blue blood teams in the top 4 and go back to the diatribe about data points and conference strength of schedule. We'll all go remember last year when you let OSU stay in the top 4 by playing only 5 games against only 1 team with a winning record And they'll all be like what are you talking about and act like it never happened.

Probably, but don’t be surprised to see Georgia hop us. But, it doesn’t really matter since we would hop to 5, at minimum, with another win over OU Saturday.
That means they also jump fellow 2 loss Florida that kicked their ass. Georgia is 0-2 vs teams that are going to be in this weeks CFP. I don’t think they jump ISU.
 
I count at least three games where the lower seed would be favored (OU/Ind, Cinc/Fla and UGA/ISU). Qulaity of the teams drops off rather quickly after the 11 or 12 seed.
That’s why I say you could maybe twist my arm to 12 but most years after the top 6-8 it starts to get tricky. After the top 10 it drops.
