2018 CFP Rankings

[Dizzyphil]

Wait until bama smacks LSU , Irish beat NW, and Meechicken hammers PSU and next weeks rankings have Meechicken at 3 and Irish at 4.....














no italics

 

[Irishman77]

My final prediction

1. Alabama
2. Notre Dame
3. Michigan
4. Oklahoma

AND this is why this whole ranking show is on. We see people going nuts on Twitter, I’m sure reddit is all over it, and here we are going over scenarios, as well as the usual “just gotta win” slogans.

This show is a circle jerk of the lowest degree, and shouldn’t even happen except, “teh ratings” and hot takes it creates. Everyone eats it up, they have us by the balls.

 

[NDRock]

Typical SEC suck fest. They have the highest ranked undefeated team, 1 loss team, 2 loss team, and 3 loss team.

 

[TomHaverford]

Y’all got hosed. Really can’t see an argument for LSU over ND.

It’s ok. LSU is going to get wiped off the field by Bama in 4 days. You guys will move back to #3 where you belong and LSU will be an afterthought.

rather play bama than Michigan again

LSU did not beat Florida. They have 1 “elite” win over UGA and 1 good win over a Mississippi State team with a first year head coach that also has 2 other losses.

Oh and lest we forget our best win is BETTER and we HAVE NOT LOST

It's absolutely BULL S H I T!!!! SEC BIASED Committee!!! Let's make sure bama gets a good win on an upper "ranked" team whom we already beat this year (calender) . Everyone finally talking about Alabama's terribly WEAK schedule and It's not just about teams, Its the way they scheduled bye weeks too, after playing nobody with a top 50 D. It's absolutely horrendous and If Bama loses to a team that lost to Florida they shouldn't be above a top 6.
This CFP committee needs to put bikini underwear on and start talking in weird voices. They just polled the WWWF.

 

[ThePiombino]

Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope. NOPE.

How many losses would it take to keep Bama out of the playoffs? I’d say 3 as long as their are 4 undefeated teams and 2 are from the SEC

This is not only infraction-worthy, but probably a bannable post.

 

[Circa]

Right. Wish they would at least be honest about the CFP being an SEC self-fufilling prophecy.

The way that jackass David Shaw Is, I'd say he'd throw games to lessen our chances of having any way of making It with 1 loss. What's he have to lose before last week? Pac12 Championship was a slim try.

 

[calvegas04]

This is not only infraction-worthy, but probably a bannable post.

I know everyone on here has a hard on for UM lately but they would have the whole revenge story on their side and our guys would have to get up for beating a team they already have. Plus we already have to play them next year again

[NorthDakota]

This is not only infraction-worthy, but probably a bannable post.

Lets seeeeeee here..

A team who took 58 minutes to score an offensive touchdown vs. ND

or......

A team whose starting QB has yet to take a 4th quarter snap.

Tough call.

 

[wizards8507]

Tv ratings. All I'm going to say.

This is double moronic.

1. ESPN doesn't run the committee.

2. ND is the biggest ratings draw on the planet. LSU is not. The TV ratings argument would help ND, not hurt us.

Yup, it's bad. Every time a middle of the road SEC team beats another middle of the road SEC team, one drops from the polls, and the other pops in.

I want total chaos. But Bama is likely going to smoke every team they play... so I'd bet the SEC ends up with only one team, being Bama at 1. LSU winning this weekend would be awesome. KY beating UGA awesome too. KY beating LSU in the CC would be gold..

He'll be very rested at the end of the year...

1. Clemson
2. ND
3. KY
4. B1G champ?

[NorthDakota]

Our only win is Michigan... Strength of Schedule, SOR, all Favor LSU..

Beat Miss St, Beat Georgia, played Florida, .. Beat a bunch of teams over .500

We beat Michigan and no one else in the top 25 of their rankings.. Our schedule is very soft

Here is something that bothers me on a regular basis.

Team A plays:

Tulane, SMU, Central Michigan and The Citadel non-conference. Then plays P5 schedule.

Team B plays:

Notre Dame, Tulane, SMU, and Central Michigan non-conference. Then plays P5 schedule.


Notre Dame plays a bunch of Team B's every year. And literally no Team A's. Every P5 team ND plays still has to play in a conference that probably has a 2 or 3 heavyweights.

So if Notre Dame is good, and wins 11 or 12 games, they effectively put the another L on the records of teams that otherwise would look better had they played almost anyone else. Instead, they volunteer to play ND OOC when they would be better off scheduling some G5/low end P5 team.

I feel like I'm having trouble articulating my point. Oh well.

That would be awesome. My dream scenario would be the above but UCF at #4.

On UCF, a little surprised they got shut out of the top 10. Their SoS will improve in the coming weeks playing Cinci, Temple, SFlorida, and likely Houston. I can see them ending up at #5 LOL.

So teams that lose to ND should be penalized less?

 

[IrishLax]

The good news is the team is going to play with an edge on Saturday.

Their issue is that 12 is low enough that there going to start being stuck behind 2 loss teams. There's basically no route to the final 4 in that case. Like there's no way they jump LSU this week if Bama beats them.

Point taken. you should probably sign up to work for ESPN. Maybe logic would prevail.

Do ya work for ESPN too?

 

[loomis41973]

What a shit show this ranking is . Win out and worry about it later.

ND should be ranked 1 or 2. Let the committee play their game...all that matters is winning 12 games.

 

[yankeehater]

Committee is a joke!

What this tells me is ND has to win each of their remaining game by 20+ and hope everyone else ends up with two loses. After beating Northwestern and Syracuse and knocking them out of the top 25, the committee will state that only one team (Michigan) ND beat is in the final top 25.

Honestly not sure what he was getting at if that wasn't his point.

I would actually love to play Clemson, then Alabama In the Championship. Nicky won't be spying this time and If we can pull It all together. We will have to be respected again.

 

[loomis41973]

Why? They are unbeaten.

A 1 point or 30 point win all counts the same.

Win out and it's not a question.

I was joking but I can see what he's laying down even If It's kinda hard to read out.
