[QUOTE="eers-to-ya, post: 129347309, member: 1870618"] I know the odds are against this happening, so don't go all crazy on me; just indulge an old man. We all know WV was not ranked preseason. They are now what, 28th in the AP poll? If they, or any other non 'darling' of the national sports media in a similar situation, were to go undefeated, which would likely mean defeating at least 4 ranked teams, could they make up enough ground in the polls to make the playoff. Conventional wisdom, if you can call it that, that has prevailed in the media lately says that a team not ranked in the top 25 at the start of the season can't make the playoff. Hardly seems fair to me. But, I've been following college football for 56 years so I've given up most hope that it will ever be fair or logical. [/QUOTE]
