The Inaugural College Football Playoff Rankings Official Thread

The FSU disrespect smh

Dawg shyt is mad blatant.....dem folks hate Jameis

If they win out

This has nothing to do with Jameis(other than him being bad this year). Y'all are laughable.

FSU has the worse resume of any top 4 team. They haven't been dominate or impressive and the have weakest schedule.

Other than his mediocre to bad play translating into FSU not being a very good team.

FSU has been the least impressive team in the final. Thats not up for debate.

FSU was #2 at one point during the year. This logic you have is not based in reality

Ga Tech has no shot of making the 4.

-If Alabama, Oregon, and FSU wins, they are in
-TCU and Baylor would be fighting for the last spot depending on how Baylor does vs. K State
-Ohio St. needs to win and have 2 of the other top 6 lose to get in (they arent jumping TCU/Baylor conference winner)
-Arizona still has a chance to get in if they beat Oregon for a 2nd time too.

For you Ohio St fans:
-All of the top 4 are either undefeated or lost to a team ranked in the Top 12. Ohio St. lost to a 6-6 Va Tech team. Thats gonna be the difference.
For you Baylor fans:
-I agree the win over TCU should mean more, but TCU lost to a Top 6 team, and you lost to a 7-5 W. Virginia team.

What about wins? Like OSU having a win on the road against the number 8 team, higher than any other team's best win.

Very true. That's Ohio St's ONLY win against a team with a pulse this season (Minnesota is fringe)
Compare that to: Alabama (wins vs 3 current ranked teams), Oregon (3 wins), TCU (2 wins, plus fringe Minnesota), Baylor (2 wins, plus one against current #3 AND playing #9 this week). Florida State is undefeated and in a power 5 conference, so even though the ACC is pretty shytty, cant take away a squad with NO losses.

Really, Ohio St's resume is the weakest of the top 6 (even Arizona is debateable with 3 wins, including #2 Oregon plus both losses to current ranked teams)

FSU is the weakest

 

[charknicks]

FSU is the weakest

Overall, I agree. But FSU even has 2 wins against current top 25 teams, plus they have NO losses. That counts for something. Its obvious the committee thinks they are weak. Thats why they are #4. It helps them though to play in New Orleans instead of Pasadena.

 

[Rekkapryde]

What if Bama, Oregon, FSU, and Ohio State lose......

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

Bring back the BCS.

 

[Tha_Mac]

FSU is the weakest

Answer @mcellas did they lose?

 

[Darealtwo1]

Rankings are inverted.
1) FSU lost no nobody.
2) TCU lost to a 1 loss team.
3) Oregon lost to a 2 loss team.
4) Alabama lost to a 3 loss team.
5) Baylor lost to a 5 loss team.
6) Ohio St lost to a 6 loss team.

 

[Myrical Lyfe]

What if Bama, Oregon, FSU, and Ohio State lose......

It could realistically happen. Bama would probably somehow still get in the playoff though

 

[Absolut]

i just cant wrap my head around developing a system to decide it on the field and ignore the eye test and backroom politics involved in crowning a champion in the old system, and immediately ignoring on field results in favor of eye tests and backroom politics. so fukking stupid
