College Football Playoff Rankings (Nov. 17)

Which means that TCU's and Baylor's best wins are still better than anyone Wisconsin has beaten.
I dunno, Tennesee kind of did didn't they.
Tennessee ran through us. Not around us. There is a difference.
I love where you are coming from and agree completely, but the B1G/SEC laden CFP selection committee would never allow this to happen. The CFP committee idea needs ****canned ASAP. The BCS ranking system should have been retained and the top 4, 6, or 8 teams should have been selected for a playoff. There is far too much bias at play for this system to function. Also, Condoleezza Rice belongs on this committee as much as any other secretary of state, like say...Madeleine Albright.
I feel like this whole deal is like an argument between Rs and Ds on in the Cave. Nothing is ever resolved.
Northwestern's a fraud; Stanford's a fraud; Duke is most certainly a fraud. But you claimed Wisconsin as your best win anyway...
The easiest way to solve this is just to go to 8 teams. I don't think that happens until the B1G or the SEC gets left out under the current format though. Another reason why I would love to see Florida State beat the Gators... and then Florida to win the SEC over Bama.
I haven't wanted Iowa to lose more than I do now.
Never thought I'd say this but....
GO BIG RED!!!!!

They should go to a 8-team playoff. Take each P5 conf champ, Independent (only if in the top 10), and highest ranked mids like Houston and Toledo. If they don't have an independent in the top 10, take the 2nd best P5. That way, we eliminate the P5 conf biases. Teams have to play their way in by winning the conference championship. After these 8, the committee can fill the remainder bowls with the rest of the top 25 and whoever is left. There's no reason to leave an undefeated P5 team out of the national playoff. No other sport, amateur up to the professional, does that.
Think about this for a Saturday in December. The quarterfinal round of the playoffs if the season ended today:
Florida @ Clemson
Oklahoma @ Alabama
Oklahoma State @ Ohio State
Iowa @ Notre Dame
Wouldn't you want to watch those games??
(Drop Florida and swap in Stanford if you want to do an "Every P5 conference gets in thing")

Would they? Notre Dame/Clemson rematch, or Okie State/Clemson? $$$$$$$$$$$$$
Besides, OU is gonna win out. Texas, plus Notre Dame's SOS should put them in over OU. If ND somehow wins by double digits at Stanford, it's probably a lock.
I do laugh at the experts saying that Alabama should be forgiven for their ole miss lose because after they kicked it into high gear,but they keep saying Oklahoma should be punished for their Texas lost even though they just like Alabama became better from it.
if it was up to the committee it would be two sec teams and two big ten teams every year.
