CFP Weekly Rankings - Nov 10 Week 2

Just handle business and we’re right where we wanna be. History tells you a bye is not beneficial, the 1-4 seeds are a combined 1-7 in the 12 team playoff. Only one bye team has won.

However, in our case, it’s all about Mali.

If we don’t get a bye, playoff game 1 is 12/18 or 12/19. That’s 6 weeks for Mali.

If we do get a bye, the quarterfinals are 12/30 or 1/1. That’s almost a full 8 weeks since his surgery. He should be pretty close to 100%. Probably a good chance we have OJ, Buchanan, and Antoine back by then. Would be massive, obviously.

Just win the next 4 and we’re gonna be just fine.

OJ isn't coming back this season

100% Duke and Smu have a case to be ranked but nope! Gotta make sure there’s FOUR 3 loss SEC teams ranked from 17-22 it’s a total joke

The problem for duke is they lost to gt and unc in back to back games. Thats a stink thats hard to wash off

Not wrong about that but at some point we can’t be calling all these 3 loss sec teams good wins for other programs.

The fact that LSU is still ranked is a glaring hole. They have 0 good wins and 3 losses
 
Aggregate differences by conference, CFP over BCS: SEC +14, B12 +4, B1G -3, ACC -4, ND -2, Boise -5

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.

Better alternative, but SEC will still have a disproportionate amount of the byes & early round home field advantages.

You’d have to think SEC will get a 7-5 team if not 2 of them in the next year or two
 
Only two 7-2 p4 teams are unranked. Do I have to tell you what conference they’re in?

Every 6-3 team in the SEC is ranked. There are two 6-3 big XII teams, and the unranked one fired their head coach.

Ranked 6-3 Oklahoma State is one of three p4 programs to lose to a g6 school (Rutgers to UMass & Cal to UNLV). G6 teams are 3-76 against p4 teams this year.

the B1G has three unranked 6-3 teams, the ACC has four.

There are seven 6-3 teams ranked. Oregon is the only one who is ranked ahead of 6-3 teams they’ve lost to (6-3 Illinois, 6-3 Oklahoma State).

#15 Iowa’s best win is? Iowa state? Iowa has wins over four teams who played a quarterback who is now benched (Michigan, Washington, Northwestern — Chiles was injured, and Wisconsin). 7-2 Duke, who is unranked, had a better B1G win than anything 7-2 Iowa has ( @ Illinois on the road when their qb was still healthy).

#9 Indiana, #11 Texas Tech, #14 Houston, #18 USC and #23 Arizona all ducked the smoke by not scheduling a p4 OOC opponent. They’ve all benefited from this.
 
It really a farce. Hopefully this will be good for Miami and get them dialed in.
Anyone who didn’t think Miami was going to be “severely” punished hasn’t been attention.
 
Oh and for a 24 team playoff

SEC would have 9 teams
Big 12 would have 5 teams
Big 10 would have 6 teams
ACC would have 2
Independent would have 1
G6 would have 1
 
Wild to drop more spots than Kentucky. Losing used to matter in this sport. Losing by like 4-5 TDs barely matters at this point. This sport is dead and trending down
 
I hope when Miami gets Toney and some of their injured players back like Antoine and buchanon and they kick the living **** out of Notre Dame in the playoff or a Sec team. **** all of them.

Archie Manning is horse ****. Texas will lose again.

Bama isn't no 3 either.

I think a 12-1 Miami with their only loss to a #2 or even #1 ND on the road by 7 without our best player gets a bye without question.

SEC Champ, ND, B1G champ and Miami are your 4 byes. But we do need Utah to lose a game in this situation. If they’re 13-0 they’re obviously getting a bye and we might be screwed.

All eyes on Utah this week. Very big, emotional win last week. Now on the road at Arizona, they’re only a 2.5 point favorite. We need them to lose that game.

I don't think Utah has much bearing on us at all. IMO, we can only drop the next few games because we don't play T25 teams and the games are all at home. We won't have Mali so we may plod through 1-2 of these remaining games. Several of the teams around us in the T15, otoh, have tougher games the rest of the way and if they win them, we could drop (even if we win). So, by the time we get to ACCCG, we could still be in the 7-10 area and assuming we beat Wake, we aren't vaulting all the way to T4 to get a bye. Best case scenario is a home game opening round, imo. But, lots can happen so we'll see.

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.

the whole thing became bull**** when they started valuing losses over wins last year. the committee is ruining CFB and now that ESPN and non ESPN commentators are criticizing the **** out of the committee, my guess they end and we switch to a new system. people complained about the BCS bc it didnt take the eye test into account and now w the eye test, biases come into play.
