re: CFP Rankings released Tuesday... Post yours

when they release their rankings tomorrow are they saying that their top 4 is how they would slot the playoff today? Or they going to release this all year as an advertisement for the playoff and then pick a nationally representative playoff with a bunch of conference champions?

If the list on Tuesday is supposed to be a playoff snapshot, I think it'll be

1. MSU
2. FSU
3. TCU
4. Oregon
5. ND
6-9 SEC teams.

Doing that will make it a lot easier not to include multiple SEC teams at the end. If they mirror the rankings with the polls right now they're going to look stupid if they knock a 1 loss Auburn out of the playoff that was sitting at number 2 in their poll just because MSU wins out hypothetically.

And I don't think there is much of a reason to include 2 SEC teams in this playoff. Make it as national as possible and let us see some games we otherwise don't get to see.


The reality is that I think the playoff is:

FSU Slot
SECC Slot
Oregon Slot
Wild Card.

If FSU or Oregon lose again it gets really crazy, but for now that's the end game. TCU should have the inside track on the 4th slot if they can manage to win out.
