Committee dropped initial rankings for playoffs





Espn had an anger index where they mention us being angry

CFP rankings Anger Index: Who should be most upset with their placement?

Which teams should have a bone to pick with the CFP committee? Here's our first installment of the 2023 Anger Index.

4. Miami Hurricanes (6-2, unranked) and North Carolina Tar Heels (6-2, unranked)​

Here's a list of the unranked two-loss Power 5 teams: Rutgers, Iowa, North Carolina and Miami.

We can understand the Rutgers snub. The Knights' best wins came early against Northwestern and Virginia Tech teams that have both vastly improved since then.

We can understand the Iowa snub. The committee members likely fell asleep during its games.

We can even understand UNC's snub, despite its head-to-head win over Miami. The past two losses to Virginia and Georgia Tech are inexcusable. Indeed, the committee might be doing UNC a favor. The Heels don't play well with a little number next to their name.

But Miami? With wins over Texas A&M and Clemson? Well, there should be some genuine outrage here.

Oh, not at the committee. We get its decision. We're just still fuming over Mario Cristobal's refusal to kneel against Georgia Tech. If he had, Miami would be 7-1 and likely in the top 15.

That knee will haunt Mario until......

Oklahoma state ranked with a loss to SOUTH ALABAMA is all I needed to see.

and it wasn't like they lost on a last second field goal. Oklahoma state lost 33-7 at home to South F'n Alabama and they are ranked in this playoff poll lmao

 

[JHallCanes]

can’t believe they didn’t mention TVD can’t throw against zone defenses

And they call themselves sports journalists

 

[mcnaire2004]

I figured the playoff rankings wouldn't apply to us so I didn't care. I got the notification of the ESPN outrage article, but again, I didn't think it applied to us and didn't click. Very surprised we are mentioned.

I'm going to take a nap now.

Ohio St at 1 is laughable.

[DREW!]

Ohio St at 1 is laughable.

Eh...not really...No team that has ever started at the 1 spot in the CFB rankings has ever gone on to win the ship!

 

[RozayCane]

lol @ Ohio State being number #1

They aren’t better than Michigan & Georgia

 

[OldhamA]

Ah ESPN using the Playoffs, a conversation we're clearly not involved in this year, to clown the Canes.

Never change, you *****.

 

[Hegemon]

4 games left

Get me to 10 wins (including bowl)

 

[Bender]

I don't care tbh, because the advanced metrics have us where the coaches have us: Around the Top 25, some have us in there, some don't.

Win against NC State and you're ranked, because one ranked team will ***** up at minimum... and it looks better when FSU and Miami are ranked for the matchup.

 

[301cane]

Opened the list, saw Ohio JABRONI State at 1 , immediately said **** ESPN **** OSU and closed the list.

And oh btw FACK OHIO STATE IN THE ***

Exactly, finish this year strong, and finish in the top 20, and that is a huge improvement over last year, momentum for recruiting and going into next year. That shows me we are on the right path.

Ohio St 1 lol, why dont they just start every season with Ohio St in the playoff

 

[Yoyo82]

If we kneeled against GT, we'd be ranked somewhere between 9-14 at this point. Pretty frustrating the difference one stupid decision makes between a possible top 10 team (and a very highly rated national primetime game against FSU next week if we win against NCSU this week) and being unranked.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

We’re going to end up 11-2 and be unranked and not play in the ACCCG.

 

[FL Cane]

We’re going to end up 11-2 and be unranked and not play in the ACCCG.

If we’re 11-2 at season’s end it means we beat FSU (probably ruined their season), went 10-2 regular season, and won a pretty good bowl game. Also means we finish inside the Top 10 for the first time in nearly 20 years. I’d take that in a heartbeat.

In that scenario, not kneeling literally would cost us a playoff spot. Mario will have nightmares about that until he wins a title if that happened.

And that means we beat a highly ranked Louisville team, if we do that its on par with the 2017 season.

Downside it will hurt like **** to know we probably would be a knee away from the playoffs lol
