Did you take into account teams that have players sitting out?
 
Source? How did you arrive at these figures?
 
Hopefully this translates for my Horns on the field this season.. (it will).

Don't think you have to be a 247 member. I logged out and could still see it.

Just so you know, it's not perfect. It's off right now in a number of places. For example, UF is not 19. They are missing a couple of players. One example is that Brenton Cox, who will show up as a 5* for UF is missing. He isn't on the UGA roster, which is where he transferred from. He's in Limbo somewhere.

Evidently they farmed this out to a 3rd party who screwed it up and they are now cleaning up the mess.

There are imperfections here ... it uses high school recruiting stars and rankings, when we know that some players live up the hype, others don't, and some perform far better than expected. But, there is no upside for 247 to recalculate thousands of players rankings. They have a hard time just keeping up with who is on the 130 teams' rosters.

Kliemann (sp?) is a goner. That is a good ROI happening there folks.

He just got an extension, but I bet in another season or two..Nebraska will come at him hard.

So, when we don't include 2018, 2019, these are the teams that come with the best talent before the team even begins developing them? Correct?

And odds are high that the CFP teams will come from this list, correct? Well, Ithink we can already eliminate the Big 12 and one of the SEC schools. I would say USC is on thin ice but the PAC 12 may allow them to go undefeated but not likely. Now we are down to six. So, the four will come between Clem, ND, Ohio State, Georgia, Bama and Texas A&M. (My aggie neighbor will be totally intollerable."

Since the odds of any other team wrecking this party aren't very good, the only possibility of the 4 CFP teams DO NOT come from the remaining teams is if COVID19 casts some weird voodoo on several of these teams which allows some undeserving low talent level team get in. Oh, the horror.

Teams outside the top 10 have made the CFP. They didn't end up winning the CFP but they have made it. Take a deep breath, relax and let's see how the season plays out. History tells us someone in the top 10 will win, likely someone in the top 5.

Sure they have. How many of 'em?

And taking deep breaths is in my current therapy since I just spent two frickin' days in the hosptial's COVID 19 unit! But I need deep breaths because of that, not this shit. I'm just stating the obvious. Gotta have high talent or hope for that magical time like Disneyland can provide.

What are the odds of one team from outsie the top 10 making it? (Likely higher this year than any other year. Hell, we could get two of three from outside the top 10 if their rosters stay clean and the top 10's rosters go completely to shit.)

Think Clemson was the only one.. they had avg from #8-#16 classes prior to their first win.. Last cycle was the first top 5 class IIRC

Hopefully you're ok and everyone you know is ok. I've had a few relatives test positive for Covid but luckily have had mild symptoms.

As for teams outside the top 10 making the CFP, here's the list:
2014 Oregon* They didn't create the talent composite until 2015 but they wouldn't have been in the top 10
2015 Clemson - Ranked 13th
2015 Oklahoma - Ranked 16th
2015 Michigan State - Ranked 23rd
2016 Washington - Ranked 24th
2017 Oklahoma - Ranked 16th
2018 Oklahoma - Ranked 11th
