Am I seeing this correctly on ESPN?

If a #6 LSU lost to an unranked team we would fall off the map in the rankings

Imagine how Cincinnati feels. They didn't play this week and dropped one spot and Fl only dropped one.

We lost to unranked State and only dropped to 20, so...

When Alabama beats Florida tomorrow and Clemson takes care of ND. Ohio State wins!

Top 4 will be:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. ND
4. Ohio State

Flip ND and Ohio State. The playoff committee doesn’t want to play ND-Clemson for a third time.

Interesting enough, this year it’s Dabo who is acting like a scared bitch of Ohio State. He doesn’t want any of that smoke.

This all to make sure 4 big names get into the playoff. Nothing more.

Who is behind Florida that you think is a better team?

I hope they stay up there. Makes the win that much better

Gotta protect that SEC Champ to the CFP mantra. We couldn't have a #20 Florida winning the SECCG leaving pollsters to bump them 16 spots ?

UF intended to win, thus dropping only 1 spot

Florida self identified themselves as winning that game. Therefore, they can only drop one spot. Just ask any Ethnic or Women's Studies professor on any major campus. They’ll tell you.

That’s not how this works. Teams are neither punished nor rewarded when they win or lose by rising or falling—they are simply re-ranked with an extra data point.

You think the committee is going to set it to where ND and Clemson play three times and twice in a row? I doubt that.

If Clemson loses again to Notre Dame, do you think Clemson will be out of the top four and Texas A&M move into the top four

There’s no way if Clemson beats ND they put them 2&3 and have to play in the semis. I would expect
Alabama
Clemson
OSU
ND

They couldn't drop Florida below Georgia. Florida had to be (and should be) ahead of Georgia. The only way to drop them further would have been to drop Georgia for Florida's loss.

I think that's the judges way of recognizing that Florida is historically a better program than LSU.

Its sad when those kind of politics play a part in the ranking system of the CFP.

ETA - So you downvoters are happy that they use that criteria to judge us? Must be A1abana trolls. Sad.
