Where is that? Top five conference champs get in, and Boise is ranked higherBig 12 gets one....their champ.
Edit: nevermind, I'm miscounting, not sure how we get in with both poor big 12 and group of five champs getting spts

4 power conferences plus Boise St = the five highest ranked conference championsWhere is that? Top five conference champs get in, and Boise is ranked higher
Yep. SMU needs to winWith Miami losing to Syracuse, Clemson is in ACC championship game. If Clemson wins, then automatic bid to playoffs, right?
Yeah I know they look at where teams are ranked when they played them and not where they end up. Georgia Tech has 2 top 10 wins One being Miami who was 6th the other they get credit for is FSU who was ranked 10th to open season.By the way I see Notre Dame getting credit for 4 ranked wins. Aren’t two of those Army and Navy who aren’t currently ranked and clearly are on a lower level than ND?
Yeah there is no PAC 12 this season.4 power conferences plus Boise St = the five highest ranked conference champions
Yep, thanks, was miscounting4 power conferences plus Boise St = the five highest ranked conference champions
I think that OSU drops to 8th or 9th, but stays ahead of Indiana.What you think?
Week 15 CFP Ranking Prediction:
1. Oregon
2. Texas (if they win)
3. Penn State
4. ND
5. Georgia
6. Tennessee
7. SMU
8. Indiana (winning)
9. Boise State
10. Ohio State (not sure they will be in top 12 with loss to 6–5 Michigan)
11. Alabama
12. Ole Miss

I like it, but ole miss won't be in, you might have done what I was looking at - in your case, 12 would be asu/isu/co/byuWhat you think?

SOS does get considered, it just isn't an overriding factor to the extent that a team having one loss with no meaningful wins will get them bounced from consideration, even if we think fifty teams with more losses could have won the same number.I thought it was obvious, but apparently it wasn’t.
Very simple they started number 7 in the country and only lost 1 game. Your not gonna drop in rankings if you win your games especially as other teams lose. Like it or not your ranking at the beginning of the year can give you a huge advantage or disadvantage. Your school name is also a huge factor which is one main reasons I think we get in over Mississippi. The resumes are very similar but we started higher and have the bigger name.PSU is #4 and only has beaten only two teams with atleast 6 wins. Explain that.
This....rankings at the beginning of the year have a massive impact....PSU should not have been ranked that high...and because they play a weak schedule there is no way to drop them. They are average to say the leastVery simple they started number 7 in the country and only lost 1 game. Your not gonna drop in rankings if you win your games especially as other teams lose.

To be fair, the selection committee was supposed to change that.This....rankings at the beginning of the year have a massive impact....PSU should not have been ranked that high...and because they play a weak schedule there is no way to drop them. They are average to say the least
TBF they've failed miserably...To be fair, the selection committee was supposed to change that.
Yep, more of the same. They could somewhat solve this by pushing the initial rankings release out until like Week 8, but then what would we talk about (and what would the networks sell)?TBF they've failed miserably...
Not to beat a dead horse, but.....it was meant to be the best 12...and the way it's set up, it definitely is not..reminds me of the FSU or TCU rankings or even OU vs. LSU...just uncompetitive games...luckily this is a season of good not great teams so most games wont be blow outsYep, more of the same.
