CFP Rankings- Nov. 22 — Now on ESPN

[iowajerms]

No way it's that low. It's college football in late November, anything can happen.

Think of that Stanfield game OD. Oregon had a 99% (or was it 99.9%) chance of winning and lost.

1% is attainable.

Reece and Bear said last night that TCU had a higher SOS than Michigan, Ohio State and Georgia. Somebody explain to me how that can be when the only ranked teams TCU has played are #12 K-State and #23 Texas.

SOS is all about how it’s defined. Big 12 SOS looks solid in a lot of rating sets because the bottom half of the conference is significantly better than the bottom half of other P5 conferences. ESPNs FPI says TCU has the #1 SOR (Strength of Record)

Yeah, there isn’t much difference between the top and bottom of the Big 12. Truth be told they are probably “one big middle” without a true “top” or “bottom”. ISU is in last place but they can give first place TCU fits this Saturday…if not rain on their parade.

They're damn determined to get a 2nd SEC team in there 'yet again'.

That's why a playoff is needed, not an invitational.

Good point. And now that I looked, Georgia only has Tennessee. But Ohio State has #11 Penn State AND #15 Notre Dame. Those are higher than the two TCU has and yet their SOS is something like 20 spots behind TCU?

Georgia beat Oregon and Tennessee both handily.

If they do, it’ll be an all SEC NCG again like it is everytime two SEC teams make it.

Forgot about Oregon. So Michigan is the only one of the four that doesn’t have two wins over the top 25.

Michigan played about the worst OOC schedule. That's what really brings down their SOS

On a different board some Michigan fan tried to tell me about how their OOC schedule isn’t that bad

Some people try to rationalize anything.

Hoe. Lee. Fuck. This UNC team has to be the absolute worst #17, 9-2 team to ever grace a football field.

They’ve had an uncanny ability to win close games since about mid-2021 or so. They’re quite literally a reverse Nebraska.

It’s like something out of a movie. Shit is weird, yo.

 

[Collegefbfan]

Yeah. They gonna hurt Clemson’s SOS. Losing to a team at home with a 4th string QB.
