When are College Football Playoff rankings released? What to know
The College Football Playoff releases its newest top 25 rankings of the season soon. Here’s what to know and how to watch.www.usatoday.com
lol, yeah. that game against Penn State, at Happy Valley in the snow, would be a lot tougher than a second round game against SMU at some southern bowl site. That's the easiest 2nd round draw with perhaps the toughest 1st round game.By the way, here's the current bracket based off of the BCS rankings
I'd really love that match-up and bracket for Alabama.
I don’t disagree at all. I’m just speculating that the committee may want to sidestep all of this splitting hairs between UA, OM, USCe, and lest we not forget, Mizzou, who is also 9-3 (but have losses to USCe and was boat raced by UA).A couple of issues there. Ole Miss's resume is really worse than South Carolina or Alabama. They just have the head to head over South Carolina. But, if we're talking SoS then they are clearly lagging behind. Their SoS is 46 according to Sagarin, that's not even in the same ballpark. Their win over Georgia and head to head victory are allowing them to stay ahead of SC but the other metrics are clearly placing them behind Alabama. They also lost to Florida and Kentucky so they are carrying bad losses as well.
As far as the committee, they put in a second ACC team in their next rankings and they are doing something pretty dangerous potentially. Let's say for the sake of argument they put Miami ahead of Alabama, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. That alone is a bold statement, it's saying a team that beat no one , has an SoS of 61 and is ranked 14th according to Sagarin belongs in.
It also opens the door for three ACC teams to get in. So if SMU loses to Clemson, are both those teams in and leaving Miami in as well? Does the ACC deserve as many teams as the SEC? That would be a bold and ultimately incredibly stupid move by the committee.
Mind you, I'm basing this all on what they should do not necessarily what they will do, heh.
Makes too much sense so will not happen. 9 of the 12 from the SEC and B1G (5&4, respectively) is pretty accurate but flies in the face of the "inclusion" narrative they used to expand the field to 12 teams. I suspect we will get a watered down version of this and an immediate expansion to 16 teams next year...when this same thing will happen again.By the way, here's the current bracket based off of the BCS rankings

Wow! 5 teams! Danny Kanell's head would explode!That's probably pretty close to how it will be.
I could see it being #12 Bama vs #5 ND or #11 Bama vs #6 PSU
But if recent history is any indicator I think they'd beat ND but then lose to Boise St by not respecting them OR Beat PSU and then lose to SMU by not respecting them.
It would be better for this team to be in a 7/10 or 8/9 game and get Oregon or Texas in the Quarters because they'd take them seriously.....maybe.

28-14 over Auburn is much more impressive than 26-14 over state! Ha!It sounds like he made the case for Alabama at the end.
And then 32 teams the following year, then 64, then 96, and before long it will 256 as we add all of the FBS teams in...Makes too much sense so will not happen. 9 of the 12 from the SEC and B1G (5&4, respectively) is pretty accurate but flies in the face of the "inclusion" narrative they used to expand the field to 12 teams.

Yes, and it'll be played like the four-team playoff, where #1 plays #256, then #2 plays #255, etc...And then 32 teams the following year, then 64, then 96, and before long it will 256 as we add all of the FBS teams in...
Am I hearing you right NAIA???
Notre Dame, Indiana, SMU and Texas have not beaten a ranked team. Tennessee and Penn State have only beaten 1 (and that's if you count Illinois as a ranked team).In that theoretical "BCS" bracket above, ND basically gets a bye to the semifinals after playing a regular-season schedule that has one actually decent team on it.
What a joke.
fsu will still get left outAnd then 32 teams the following year, then 64, then 96, and before long it will 256 as we add all of the FBS teams in...
