Bruce Feldman - The College Football Playoff rankings reveal has become a clown show by any metric

Exactly! That’s why the “unranked” thing is ridiculous. The rankings are based on political bs and are inherently flawed by every scientific measure. They are only partially indicative of a team’s ability, talent, and skill. The most important consideration for a team’s ranking is its conference affiliation, and the Top 25 cutoff is just an arbitrary talking point for lowlife, brainless bobbleheads.

💯. Just look at Tennesee and Missouri. Pretty sure they’re still ranked at 8-4 despite not beating a team over .500. It’s infuriating to hear ESPN *** clowns claim there’s no bias.

legitimately - no

EVERYONE from On3 (some whom I think are clowns but besides the point)
Josh Pate
Joel Klatt
Greg Mcelroy
Crain & Co
lead Sports Illustrated writers
Bruce F ^
"most" major TV people (from what I've seen online)


all of the above are legitimate football people (particularly in comparison to the ret@rds on the committee.

I don't wanna set myself up for disappointment but... the above *seems* on the undeniable Miami IN trajectory (provided BYU loss).


I personally think if BYU and Bama loses, they drop each team one place - ND up to #9 and Bama in at #10 and we're left out

Miami in? BIWISI

Or they jump Texas in and leave Miami and ND out.

I wish I could write a comment to the idiot ND fans in the comment section that refer to the Louisville and SMU losses as reasons ND should be ahead of Miami.

Have they ever heard of a football organization called the National Football League (NFL for short in case they are only familiar with the abbreviated version)? It happens to be a professional football league where players play football as their primary occupation. In that league, teams have a 16 game schedule- sometimes they play a 1 win team , sometimes they might play an undefeated team. And you know what happens if two teams are competing for a playoff spot and one team has two losses to the two worst teams in the league but a win over the other potential playoff team, and the other team has only two early season losses- one to the other potential playoff team and the other a close loss to an undefeated opponent, and then won 14 in a row? Absolutely no one gives a **** about the winning streak or if one team lost to bad teams during the season. The tiebreaker is always head to head wins- as it is in literally every other sport.

Yet apparently Notre Dame fans think the college football should be the one sport where there is no objective standard and teams should be picked for the post season based on an arbitrary and capricious “eyeball test.” Well that is interesting. You see- they base their argument for getting in over Miami on the Canes losing to two 8 win teams. Those are “bad losses” in their justification. And bad losses means teams should be penalized. And yet there was a cfb team last year that had the worst loss of any playoff contender. They lost at home to Northern Illinois. That single loss is far more embarrassing and disqualifying than two losses to 8-4 teams. But that team still ended up being seeded higher than other teams with far less embarrassing losses. Surely, these Notre Dame fans would agree that the team with the home loss to Northern Illinois should have put them at the back of the line for making the playoffs. They have to admit that team had the luck of the Irish - and a highly biased playoff committee - to have ignored such an ignominious loss.

Sir, this is a Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
