If the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Baltimore Ravens tonight, Alabama will move up to #3 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

The SEC is 2-7 against P4 competition in the CFP over the last 3 seasons.
0-5 vs. the Big Ten.
0-2 vs. Notre Dame/Miami.
But somehow, every year we’re lectured about SEC superiority and why they deserve the benefit of the doubt.
At what point do actual RESULTS matter?

2 loss Bama in Top 5 tells you all you need to know about this committee.
Bama is top 5 bc of their name. That is the only reason.

It’s gotten to a point with this College Football Playoff committee that the public doesn’t trust that they have even the slightest ball knowledge or rational sense.
Leaving out undefeated Florida State a few years ago has had lasting effects.
Bring back the computers. Down with the committee.

CFP Ranking Criteria (in order of importance):
1-Conference Logo
2-Team Logo
3-Quality Losses (losses to teams with the right conference logo)
4-Quality Wins (wins against teams with the right conference logo)
That's it. That's the criteria.

I'm surprised the committee didn't just go ahead and rank Alabama at No. 1.

5-3 South Carolina:
• Lost by 31 points to Alabama
• Lost at home to Kentucky
• Lost at home to Mississippi State
• Scheduled 3-6 Kent State as their early season non-conference game
But, they’re in the SEC and looked decent for a couple weeks, so INSTANTLY they’re treated as a Top 21 team in the nation.

Alabama has won one of their last three and is currently sitting at number 5. ESPN has done irreversible damage to the sport I once loved

Drove all the way to my local polling place and there was literally nowhere on my ballot to vote against a 24 team College Football Playoff and a 76 team NCAA Basketball Tournament. Had to write it all in

It literally can’t be any more rigged.
Georgia loses to 4-4 Auburn at home, Auburn subsequently gets destroyed by 21 points and by 30 points in each of the next two weeks.
Utah is undefeated, with a Top 15 win, and just ragdolled 5-2 Cincinnati yesterday.
Who cares though! Georgia is SEC! They can’t possibly ever be punished for losing to horrible teams! Every day they kill the sport more.

Fun fact: If the SEC would have remained at eight conference games this season, Texas would still currently have two SEC losses.

SEC coaches crying about a 9 game conference schedule after 4 games is interesting
Michael Marianos retweeted
punished in the rankings? there are five teams in the rankings with two losses and they are all from the SEC. do you just publish stuff without researching them Mike?
Lane Kiffin continues to make a strong case against the SEC's move to nine conference games.
More losses, more beat-up teams and less roster depth in the transfer portal era.
His biggest point? SEC teams are being punished in the rankings for playing tougher schedules.
Hard to argue with him on this one.
