Back in the Top 25 at #22 in AP
- Thread starter Marcelason78
- Start date
Thought we might be a little higher, but close to where we belong.

Last week the top of the AP poll matched the CFP poll. If that happens again, and the playoffs started this week:
- Oregon, Texas, Miami, Boise State with byes
-Tennessee at Ohio State
-Ole Miss at Penn State
-Georgia at Indiana
-Alabama at Notre Dame
Big XII gets left out.
(Still lots of football to come, but things are getting weird)
EDIT: Disregard, I’m dumb, five highest ranked conference champs are in

I think there would still be one Big 12 team if the Big 12 champ isn't in the top 5 of league championships.
KU sucking so bad early and now getting hot is really screwing up the conference.
Wait what AAC team is ahead of BYU, or Colorado for that matter?

There should be, you’d think. But if the Big XII champion has two (or, heaven forbid, three) losses, they’re fighting against four to five B1G teams, four to five SEC teams, Notre Dame, Boise State, and SMU to get somewhere in that top 12. There’s already four B1G and five SEC teams in the CFP if it started this week.

That would be funny if the Big 12 gets left out. This playoff is a joke... let it fail miserably for all I care.
Only the B1G and SEC matter anymore. That's the way they want it. So be it. Hope it all fails.

Oops. My mistake.
Surely you can forgive me seeing as how the Atlantic Coast Conference makes no frickin sense anymore.
SMU is ahead of BYU despite the head to head loss. Do results even matter any more?
No worries, it's an easy mistake to make with the constant state of change lately.

Eye test. Extra data point. Strength of record. Game control. I dunno, something something the committee will pull out of their butts so the CFP becomes the B1G/SEC invitational tournament they want it to be.
BYU would be the 5th highest rated conference champ, if we were using the AP. Boise would get the bye, BYU would be the 12th seed.

What’s really nuts is there’s definitely a possibility that Iowa State, BYU, Colorado, and Arizona State could all tie with 7-2 conference records … and Iowa State wouldn’t have played any of the other three.
Conferences over 12 members are simply unworkable when it comes to determining a champion. You might as well use tock-paper-scissors to get your CCG teams.
