re: Does anyone seriously believe that there are 12 legitimate contenders in any given season?

There is no point to a 12 team playoff. Four teams is stretching it.

Is it?

2014-15 OSU
2017-18 Bama
2021-22 UGA.

All were champions. None were a 1 or 2 seed.

And this isn’t counting 3-4 other teams that made it to the championship game.

You don’t know who can beat who until they play.

The current no. 12 (OU) is not going to suddenly get hot and go through the likes of UGA, Bama, Texas, Washington, Michigan, et all. It’s completely absurd to suggest that they will.

Well it’s a good thing I’ve never said this.

It’s also a good thing that this exact configuration of teams and rankings isn’t the only one that will ever happen in the future. That’d be pretty boring.
