1st CFP rankings

[Ludd]

Agree we are out and should be.

However, unfortunately, the final rankings are based off of current rankings. An overrated team beats another overrated team, and the winner improves based on beating another bogus ranked team.

And the loser only drops a couple of spots because they lost to a ranked team…that’s why all rankings matter.

 

[Ludd]

That is what makes a 24 team playoff such a Joke, you will have 3 and 4 loss teams in the playoff.

3 and 4 loss SEC teams you mean.

 

[Ludd]

I dont understand how anyone doesn't think the SEC is the best this year. Indiana isn't as good as last year, Oregon crashed and burned, Ohio State doesn't have a QB, UCLA hasn't really played anyway, Northwestern losing to Oregon ended them, Southern Cal got embarrassed by Wisconin I think at home...
Smart money is on an SEC team to win the title especially with Toney out. ND, Miami and Utah are the only other teams in the mix until a Big Ten team proves otherwise.
Also your eyes very rarely deceive you...talent is talent.

Because Kentucky is winning it right now, that’s why.

What do you think the experts would be saying about the Big Ten if Rutgers was in first place?

Who cares what anyone would be saying?
Kentucky plays 3 more ranked teams--that will sort itself out
It's weird we praise Stein here but then don't understand why they're ranked highly

Again, back to another discussion, if the ranked teams are overrated, that doesn’t prove much. If they rank almost every team in a conference, then every win is a big win.

what makes them overrated?

 

[Ludd]

what makes them overrated?

Being ranked high simply because they’re in the SEC.

 

[GSPVik]

Being ranked high simply because they’re in the SEC.

And the subjective nature of the "eye test".

 

[KingLando]

Being ranked high simply because they’re in the SEC.

That's why you want to believe they're ranked high but that's not reality
It's just your anti-SEC bias

Exactly. The results of the Missouri/Texas game and subsequent rankings will be a tell.

It’s pretty obvious.

 

[KingLando]

It’s pretty obvious.

Based on what? Honestly, what teams are you angry about not being higher--throw out some names and let's discuss the resumes
The reality is the Big Ten is down. The ACC and Big XII simply aren't good. Notre Dame hasn't beaten anyone and BYU losing to UCF made that loss look even worse.
There's just not many good teams this year

 

[psuno1]

3 and 4 loss SEC teams you mean.

Yeah you got it.

 

[KingLando]

"I hate the SEC. I have no idea who is actually better than their ranked teams but I'm mad they're ranked." The rest of the country

And maybe the SEC is down as well.

Maybe but not as down as the rest
The SEC has often been overrated--not so this year

You and all the SEC fans are the only ones who think that.

False but good try--the people that matter clearly agree

Doesn’t make what I said false.

So, this is where you pretend they're SEC fans

Right because you need a conspiracy theory
Again, name a team and let's look at resume. Who's the issue? Illinois that lost to Duke? Oregon who lost to USC? USC who got blown out by Wisconsin? Should Ohio State be higher without Saying? Is BYU too low before today's loss with an embarrassing loss to UCF who then lost to Baylor? UCLA's best win is an average Oregon team. Name who the issue is--it can't be "a lot of SEC teams are ranked"
