As it stands right now, the SEC is back on top with 5 qualifiers
BIG has IU and UCLA
Big 12 has utah and byu
Miami ND and Boise
It's an SEC sport,the rest of us just lucky to watch.

Iowa needs a lot of help. Got to at least get to #10 in case there are lower ranking auto qualifiers
Bama has LSU, Chattanooga,auburn vandy
They can lose to LSU, still get in.
Heather dimich first big gripe?
IU too high.
Iowa would not get in at 11-1.
Just one no? Wasn’t ND at #12 last year and got the bump?
Alabama at 5 is an embarrassment to football, but i guess the SEC network gets what they want, what a fing JOKE

They're leaning way too much into resumes this year, but we kinda knew that going in with all the talk about "has the B10 passed the SEC?"................
This is why our conference commissioner needs to be fired for his part in negotiating to pass the 24 team playoff with ESPN as the sole provider for the tournament.
The guy is being played and he doesn't care as long as we get "fake money" that doesn't actually do anything to change results on the field.
But but but the TV MONEY!!!!
Tell me in detail what the f***ing TV money is gonna do to help Purdue compete with SEC teams.

May suck, but probably better than most of us expected. We beat Minny, and were in the the top 10-12 right now. Just win out and see where there chips fall.
Optimist here! Love the initial IA ranking. Just take of business and we are in. LFG!!!
and then they changed the rules. as long as ND is ranked in the top 12, they will be in the CFP
I would love to somehow make it in and play those bastards.
Agreed. Plug all the data in and have something unbiased select the Top 25 teams.
#25 Boise State gets the final CFP bid.Check out their next 3 games. From the linked story:
25. Boise State
Boise State survived a close contest which saw them win a 46-45 shootout against Pac-12 foe Texas State at home, avoiding a critical slip up with a late score. They sit firmly in the hunt for the final automatic bid, given to the highest-ranked team from the Group of 5 or Pac-12.Spencer Danielson and the Broncos look to continue their run through the Pac-12 with a road game against Colorado State. That game is currently scheduled to get underway at 6 pm ET on Saturday.
Upcoming schedule: at Colorado State, Oregon State, SDSU
#25 Boise State knocks out Ohio State for the 12th and final CFP bid.
Head coach Ryan Day will lead the Buckeyes back into action against the Big Ten schedule next weekend as they host Oregon in a home matchup. The game is currently scheduled for 3:30 pm ET on Saturday.
Upcoming schedule: Oregon, Northwestern, at Nebraska, Michigan
12. Ohio State
Ohio State is coming off an upset loss against USC which came without star quarterback Julian Sayin as he recovers from injury, unable to play in the 30-18 result. Even off a bad result, they remain in the CFP picture and will get an opportunity to respond and stay in the projected field.Head coach Ryan Day will lead the Buckeyes back into action against the Big Ten schedule next weekend as they host Oregon in a home matchup. The game is currently scheduled for 3:30 pm ET on Saturday.

With 4 games to go, this list is fairly meaningless. We (anybody with a brain) already knew that the SEC is much more highly perceived this year and that 2 loss SEC teams will get in before 2 loss Big10 teams. Iowa still needs to win out and see at least 7 teams in front of them pick up a loss which is likely. Nobody is jumping them from below if they keep winning.
11-1 would have gotten us in. But, moot point.
2 spots per win, seems reasonable.
i get the angst but my main worry is that we’ll whine and ***** about bcs rank only to drop a game in a very stupid manner.
Actually, they only have to get to #11
The #12 spot would be reserved to the highest ranked from the group of 6 conferences
Kentucky, Alabama and Ole Piss will not be in the final top 12. They all will lose at least one more game.
Tell us a season when the SEC hasn't been highly perceived by all of the ESPN talking heads.
ESPN is an SEC network, but it's much more pronounced this year given the abysmal performance of Big10 marquee programs and underwhelming non-conference performance overall.
ESPN IS an SEC network, but it’s much pronounced this year given the BIG has won three national titles in a row.

Huh. Don't you also need to look at wins over ranked teams or does that mess with your narrative? Or how about you show the SEC's record against these conferences this year? Isn't that relevant to this discussion?
You know what else matters? How many teams from each conference are ranked.
Narrative ? Lmao…..obviously ESPN is overhyping, overranking the SEC because ESPN funds the sec to the tune of 811 million dollars a year, promoting and covering it at the same time.Huh.
