11/28 CFP Rankings Thread 7pm ET ESPN

This year, more than any other, I wish we had an expanded playoff. It's not far fetched for us to end up with:

13-0 Michigan - Big Ten Champion
13-0 Florida State - ACC Champion
12-1 Oregon - PAC 12 Champion
12-1 Texas - Big 12 Champion
12-1 Alabama - SEC Champion
11-1 Ohio State - Only loss was a 6 point loss to Michigan
12-1 Washington - Only hypothetical loss is to Oregon in the PACCG in a rematch
12-1 Georgia - Only hypothetical loss is to Alabama in the SECCG

For all those people who bitched about the 12-team CFP having too many teams because only 1 or 2 can actually win it, you can just fuck the hell off. I truly believe that any one of those 8 teams could beat any of the others on a given Saturday. Throw Mizzou, Ole Miss, PSU, and Oklahoma in there, and you could have some carnage with the

5 v. 12 - Oklahoma @ Oregon
6 v. 11 - Ole Miss @ tOSU
7 v. 10 - PSU @ Texas
8 v. 9 - Mizzou @ Bama

At least one of those would be "upsets," maybe 2.

I forgot that Oklahoma would not get in ... Tulane would. So it would be Tulane @ Oregon.

I don't disagree. However, remember that one of those spots would go to the highest ranked G5. So using the current rankings, switch Tulane and Oklahoma.

Don't be surprised if they do. That's what they do. That said, I think you are in if you win. There is too much Oregon hype for that not to happen. You also are very lucky that Texas beat Bama because it pushes 1 loss Bama and a 1 loss UGA below Texas due to the H2H. A lot of things have broken your way such that you are in with a win, IMO.

Texas is also lucky that Auburn totally screwed the pooch last week.

I see LSU didn't make the top 12 and would not make the playoffs were they 12 teams going into the playoffs. We lost 3 games this season and are out the top 12.

Yet, all of the teams we lost to are in the top 12. (Fla. St., Bama & Ole Miss).

3 loss teams need not apply.

In some years, one might get in.

Yeah, I just edited it.

That said, I don't want to hear the 13th team complaining anymore. Out of Missouri/OleMiss/Oklahoma/Penn State, one of them would miss the expanded CFP this year. I don't want to hear shit from them.

No one would say shit about OU missing out in this model.
 
Wait, Iowa went up in ranking by doing what got them to drop in rankings.

Should a 12-0 Liberty make the playoffs?

I, and to some degree, the CFP can't believe that this happened in the last year of the 4 team playoff model:
1) The SEC champs game comes down to #1 Georgia (12-0) vs. #8 Alabama (11-1), but hold on. #7 Texas (11-1) gave Alabama that one loss in Tuscaloosa.
2) #4 Florida State (12-0) should probably be in the playoff if they win the ACC. However, the starting QB is injured.
3) #3 Washington (12-0) already beat #5 Oregon (11-1), but Oregon has looked like world beaters over the last few weeks. Now, they face off in the PAC 12 champs game.

Now, what the CFP has to deal with is:
1) What happens if Georgia loses very, very closely to Alabama? Both have one loss.
2) I know this won't be an issue, but I could see the argument. What happens if Oregon beats Washington very, very closely? Both have one loss.
3) What if Oregon demolishes Washington and Alabama demolishes Georgia, but Florida State edges Louisville 17-14?

Some tough decisions have to be made by the CFP if chaos prevails... and some meltdowns will be the result here.

It will be a shitshow the likes of which have not been seen since LSU went into the 2007 Championship game with 2 losses and won it all! hahahaha

I really hope we don't somehow luck into backing in this year. This team really does not deserve it.

Maybe not but some of the others have warts too. I'm looking forward to teams being able to settle it on the field instead of smoke filled back rooms.

This is less about Oregon and more about the committee. The inconsistency is what is bullshit. So, basically for Oregon whose resume is clearly not better than Bama or Texas, it's the eye test. Yet, the eye test and the resume right now say UGA is the best team in the land, yet if we lose our first game against No. 8 Bama we are out because you can't let a 13-0 team not get in even though they don't have the eye test or the resume and lost their QB. And another one-loss team, Oregon, will get in over UGA because eye test? Their inconsistency is what is maddening.

I am not advocating that we get in even if we lose, but you tell me that we aren't one of the best 4 teams this year. So, as I have stated many times, I can't wait for the 12-team CFP where it is decided on the field. And fuck those of you in The Alliance ... because of you we don't have the 12-team CFP this year.

Alabama is weak. If you lose to them, you don't deserve to make the playoffs (tbh, they probably don't deserve it in that scenario either)

At this point Alabama is just another team competing for their spot.

Who is the Alabama win helping them jump over, besides Alabama?

It hasn’t- but it would sure quiet down the Longhorn honks.
