that field was SUPER strong with LSU, Clemson & OSU all being undefeated and Oklahoma 1 loss with two wins over BaylorYeah, zero shot at that happening, I know people want to drum up this nightmare scenario of a 10-2 at-large Alabama making the CFP but just two years ago, a 2 loss non-champion Alabama got left out of the playoff (as they should have). I know we get the benefit of the doubt sometimes but people need to relax.
this year ... you have Georgia ... then what else? MSU & Oklahoma who are both liable to drop a game - then one loss Oregon/OSU - its unnecessarily opening the door for that potential for Bama, thats all people seem to be feeling right now
it is a bit confusing what their current case is for #2 with one loss, it does seem to imply what they expect to happen in the future (which I dont think is the point of the rankings?)
Im not a huge CFB fan, but I found the conversation around these rankings interesting, its not just Bama's placement at #2 that is causing confusion
