CFP Weekly Rankings - Nov 10 Week 2

Honestly, even though it’s bull****, as long as it doesn’t keep us out of the playoffs, let them rank these undeserving teams high. Would be hilarious to whoop them in the playoffs and prove how overrated they are.

We gotta win the ACC.

Doesn’t matter what precedent they have set in the past about conference championships, they make up the rules as they go.

ACC is a one bid league.
 
Did anyone really expect anything less? They put SEC teams up high because they know they will drop games before it's all over.
 
This is the type of stuff that’ll make people start supporting the 24 team playoff.

Need as many spots as possible so they can put in the entire SEC in and still leave some room.
 
So what needs to happen for us to get a bye?

- Win out, obviously
- Texas loses to LSU this week
- Utah loses at Arizona this week

That’d be a solid start. I think, unless UGA loses, our ceiling is #3. We’re not jumping UGA if they win out. We’re not jumping ND if they win out.

Wildcard is probably Bama. If they win out and UGA wins out and they play in the SECCG, I’m not sure we jump them even if they lose. I think #3 or even #4 is probably best case scenario without chaos, which is always possible.

Bama plays Vandy, Chattanooga, and Auburn. Will be massive favorites against all.

UGA plays Mizzou, at USCe, and GT.

Honestly, finishing #3 would be a huge win. We’d get a bye, would get the winner of 6 vs 9, and sets up a possible rematch with ND.

I want Indiana in the quarterfinals. ND in the semis. And who cares in the natty, just win it.

You can tell they’re just pushing the strength of schedule narrative. They want everyone in the future to just schedule as many marquee matchups as possible. Texas has 2 BAD losses but in the committees eyes as long as you have “strong wins” the losses don’t matter. It’s tough because SEC gets the boost of being so big and mighty but at the end of the day most of them are overrated. Mississippi state not a good win, ole miss (team is no better than wake forest, probably even worse) and Missouri (they’re about the same as SMU in my eyes when comparing to ACC). Give Texas OSU and Tennessee but putting them ahead of Miami is asinine.

Not quite because the “it only matters who you beat, not who you lost to” only applies the to SEC.

The only thing to learn from this release is what we already knew: they’re going to do whatever they want and rig it for the SEC in ways that defy logic.

Spot the ball. But, ideally, slowly so our defense has time to get aligned.

Just get OK and or slime back we good.

We almost lost to FSU and UNC. We did lose to ND. 4 quarterbacks, including 2 absolute scrubs, looked like Day 1 picks against our defense. Our only quality win is WF. I’m not going to complain about 7.

Almost isn’t a loss. We only have one loss which is to ND. Texas lost to a team that can’t complete a forward pass and another one with a backup QB.

These rankings suck. But my guess is that if we win out, we’ll be at least top 5, maybe top 4.

I expect Texas to drop another game, and I think either UCLA or Utah will lose one, too.

Bama’s ranking is the ridiculous one. Are they in line to play in the SEC championship game? I hope so. A loss there should drop them a few spots.

We’ll see. There’s still plenty of chaos ahead. We just need to win out.

They won’t penalize them for finishing second in conference championship.

I hate to be negative but I don’t think we can get a bye. They will give the SEC winner, Big 12 Big 10 and ND the byes.

It depends. If it’s a 4-way two loss tie between UK, Tennessee, Alabama and Texas, Alabama is in.

If it’s a 3 way tie with Texas removed after LSU beats them, then tennessee is in playing UGA because Tennessee beat both UK and Alabama.
 
I understand these rankings “mean nothing now” but I don’t agree. They mean everything! Bama at 3 means they are getting a buy no matter what unless they lose as a double digit favorite. Thats the problem!
