Penn State, Minnesota, and Baylor have made things clearer the last two weeks. But UGa at Number4? Hmm....
Not surprised by Bama at number 5.
O-H
Has OState played a ranked opponent?
giggle. USC 7-4, is at #23
The link doesn’t seem to be working. Can someone tell me where Navy dropped to?
Do they only keep track of the top 25, or is there a master list somewhere of ALL college football rankings?
Any team that wins a Big 6 Conference should be in. This is not a sport it is fantasy FB. Move it to 8 teams and you have a real tourney that everyone has a chance to be in.
Any of the top 10 teams could win but 6 will not have a chance to.
The week’s rankings don’t matter. Where will these take us? That’s what matters. Georgia lost to a weak South Carolina team and gets dinged using the same logic as was used last year to disqualify OSU (which lost to Purdue). Precedent is a b*tch. Of course, if UGA wins out they go to the CFP but otherwise no.
What no one acknowledges is the great damage done to college football by the egregious disrespect shown to conferences. If Alabama does not even play for the SEC championship, surely they cannot get picked.
Meanwhile, either Utah or Oregon is likely to have one loss, the PAC12 championship and a compelling case.
The reality is that each year there are one or two teams that stand out; and every once in a while a third. Beyond this tail in the distribution there is a big drop off, lots of talent through teams seven, eight, nine, maybe even ten and nothing but navel gazing to draw meaningful distinctions. Each year the choice of team #4 makes the committee look like a bunch of clowns.
That "THE" crap is just silly.
Kinda limiting...makes me wonder how many other "Ohio State University" claimers are out there.
Six, seven more...maybe ten or so?
They certainly think a lot of themselves.
The post show questions were ridiculous softballs.
Question I would have asked.
1 loss Utah has zero wins against teams that YOUR COMMITTEE considers to be top 25. Two other 1 loss teams that you rank below them, Penn State and Oklahoma, each have 2 wins over teams your committee considers top 25. Why is Utah ahead of those 2 teams and how can you justify Utah’s ranking for beating up on 5 and 6 loss teams?
I can agree that LSU, tOSU and Clemson easily deserve the top 3 spots. Debatable from there, but the criteria is the confusing part.
Also LSU is learning what it means to have an offense that can score quickly, leaving their defense on the field for more snaps. I don’t think LSU suddenly just got bad at defense. They’re going to have to find that happy place of some ball/clock control to give that D a rest. Consequences of LSU learning to complete a forward pass in 2019.
