CFB Playoff Rankings
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Agree. At least 48 are them are shocked the committee got the Cyclones to #22?
Camping World wants us bad. That's the farthest we'd fall, even if we lost.
I'm glad there are still a few weeks left, because as of tonight the CFP/NY6 picture might look something like this:
Peach (semifinal): #1 LSU vs #4 Georgia
Fiesta (semifinal): #2 Ohio State vs #3 Clemson
Rose: #8 Penn State (Big Ten) vs #6 Oregon (Pac-12)
Sugar: #9 Oklahoma (Big 12) vs #5 Alabama (SEC)
Orange: #16 Notre Dame (ACC, but none besides Clemson are ranked) vs #10 Minnesota (highest available from SEC/B1G/ND)
Cotton: #7 Utah (at-large) vs #18 Memphis (highest G5)
On the outside: #11 Florida, #12 Wisconsin

I'd like to see Michigan beat OSU, Wisky beat Minnesota, and Wisky beat OSU in CCG. b1g misses out again.
I'll be very surprised if OSU doesn't roll the next two games.
WI vs. Minny will be interesting. They don't like passes to second or third level.
The CFB committee is a joke. Exhibit A: Florida
Florida has played two FCS teams this year.
Florida, like all SEC teams, only play 4 away games the entire year. All other P5 conferences play 5 away games.
SEC plays 4 non-conference games inflating the overall record of the conference in general.
Last week Florida were ranked #11. The playoff committee doesn't give a crap about SOS when it comes to the SEC. Further proof from the Tampa bay Times.

It won't happen, but i'd love to see the committee punish Alabama and Auburn for basically having a 3rd bye week. Those games should not count as a "data point" as the committee likes to say. If the SEC doesn't get punished for 8 conference games and playing a fourth nobody the SEC (and the ACC for that matter) will never change. Alabama should drop behind OU, I don't care if you won by infinity. It is bush league that they played W. Carolina at all, especially in week 12. Rant over, sorry.
Sadly, it'll never happen. Since its inception, there has always been a SEC majority bias on the CFB committee.
So, if the selections were made tonight...
Fiesta (semi): #1 Ohio State vs #4 Georgia
Peach (semi): #2 LSU vs #3 Clemson
Rose: #8 Minnesota (Big Ten) vs #6 Utah (Pac-12)
Sugar: #7 Oklahoma (Big 12) vs #5 Alabama (SEC)
Orange: #24 Virginia Tech (ACC) vs #10 Penn State (highest SEC/B1G/ND)
Cotton: #9 Baylor (at-large) vs #18 Memphis (highest group of 5)
Out: #11 Florida, #12 Wisconsin

USC and ISU swap spots - USC won more handily over a better team. Weird USC is done until their bowl game.
Unless Colorado beats Utah (very unlikely) then USC is in Pac 12 Title game.
Not sure what to think here. LSU played two FCS teams unlike the Buckeyes, but they also have three Top 15 wins to OSU's two. I myself think LSU should still be #1. Also not sure why Georgia is ahead of Alabama. Their loss is worse than Bama's.
Really don't like the best G5 automatically getting a NYE6 game - Boise could get in just because of easier competition. The G5 should only get in if they are ranked in the top 12 - isn't that the way the BCS was?
