1st CFP POLL Qs???

[Collegefbfan]

I watched a reaction video on youtube last night. I know the formats 4 team vs. 12 team playoff are different. "Last year the first rankings came out, and Michigan was #3. This year, the first rankings came out, and Indiana was #8. These two teams at this point in the season are practically even. Tell me brand name matters without telling me brand name matters."

I love this format. People said it would devalue the regular season. LMAO

I picked up on this comment last night that surprised me. While Georgia has the #1 SOS, Alabama hasn't played one team that has a losing record so far.

If schedule difficult is to be valued much, it is very possible than more than one three loss SEC team should get in...especially if those losses are all close to the best teams. Question is will that value it that much?

And, what happens when Miami and BYU lose their CCGs?

Heather Dinich made an interesting point last night. I was tossing around the football with my boys and was kind of distracted when she said it but I believe she said something along the lines of there have been a bunch of teams in the top 10/12 of the final CFP rankings over the years that have carried three losses. So I looked at 2014 just for grins and there were four of them in the top 12 alone that year. I didn’t do any additional research beyond that particular season but that alone is insane.

You have to think a potential 3 loss SEC team like Bama for instance is far from out of the playoffs.

This is why Indiana is where they are. And, it's also why the CFP-12 is great ... if they really are good, they should win it all.

What would Indiana's record be if they played:

Clemson (ATL)
@Bama
@Texas
@Ole Miss
UTjr

Does anyone thing they would be undefeated playing that record? I would say no, but we'll never know. What would UGA's record be if we played Indiana's schedule? We may get the team that will have played that record playing Indiana at some point, something we couldn't have had in the CFP-4.

how does Ohio State not have a resume enhancing win but Penn State has a quality loss. same same game

It was a typo, dipshit

 

[NinerSpartan]

Indiana should be ranked above Penn State. Neither team has any resume enhancing wins, but at least Indiana is undefeated. Penn State has a "quality" loss, but when you don't have any good wins to offset that loss then who gives a shit.

Fixed for any other retards that don't understand context

Especially if all three losses were close ones to ranked teams and one is a ccg loss. With Georgia’s schedule, even with three losses, they would still be one of the best 12 teams imo.

I’m in the minority, but I’m not for the reserved spots for the five conference champs. I know why the did it but it doesn’t necessarily give us the 12 best teams. I could live with it better if it wasn’t guaranteed byes the first round.

Example: If Colorado runs relatively easy “table” (Tech, Utah, Kansas, Okie Lite) and wins the ccg……..

I’d say IU would be 2-3 or 3-2 against those five. They’d beat Clem.

Honestly, even though Ohio State would miss out on the bye, I'd be pretty happy getting Boise at home then BYU at a neutral field for the first two games

That would mean you lost to Oregon again and we really don’t want to listen to @OregonDucks if that happens.

Yeah. The 5 seed is a good spot to be in for sure.

Im just saying as things stand now. Considering how things went the first time around, I'd feel fairly confident in Ohio States chances at a neutral field

I get it, but the only way you’re the 5 is to lose in Indy. That would be bad for the whole world.

I'm thinking there will be several situations that could arise very similar to that.

What if the 1-4 seeds were given the option of getting the bye or forgoing the bye and hosting a first round game instead?
Move the team that chooses that option down to 5-8 depending on how many 1-4 chose that option.

I think some might choose to have less time off and get another home game.

No one would choose that

Unless boise loses they'll end up higher than 12

 

[Inquisitor]

Who's gonna end up in Unlucky #13 in the ratings?

 

[UNA Lion]

I don't know what the heck to think about Bama. After their second loss, I felt they had no business sniffing the playoffs, but after they curb-stomped Mizzou. I mean, what is this team?

Can't really predict what'll happen at Death Valley, though I still expect a loss.

I don’t know man but even if Bama drops another one (like to LSU for instance) and finishes 9-3 they honestly may likely still slide in.
