2022 National Rankings (AP, Coaches, CFP) Meta Thread

They probably ranked Texas because they wanted another ranked win for Alabama to justify putting them ahead of undefeated TCU at #6.

Either that or they think alabama would blast them on a neutral field in January.

Actually we started the season unranked and topped out at #20. I don't think we were particularly over-rated this year. We did play like the #20 team at times (especially in first halves).

And we were unranked when we played Bama so the conspiracy to bolster Bama's resume was not particularly effective.

Horny Toads are almost extinct. Weird thing to think about as they used to be all over Texas. Bama shouldn’t be allowed back in. I hope TN takes out Georgia. Just my two cents. I was hoping for some weird ass 7 way tie in the Big 10 West. We are still in it. But if KState takes us out hope TCU can make it in somehow. Something I’d never thought I’d say.

This is why the playoff needs 16 teams, idiots like this run the show

What a shithead…Alabama has been behind in a game when it’s most important-at the end. Not to mention they barely squeaked out a win over aggy.  They just make shit up to justify the rankings.

[Bama Llama 1447]

Alabama won't back in, slide in, or be "allowed" in the CFP unless they win out and if they win out they should be in. This issue could easily become moot Saturday night in Baton Rouge. LSU is rising and Bama has struggled on the road. If TCU wins out, they'll be in, and should be. Let the chips fall where they may, let's rock and roll.

I didn’t say I was cool with it sir…lol. But if we lose to KState and TCU beats us also I don’t think Bama should be in the final four. I said it poorly.

The least balanced team is #1 though.  Okay.  I don't hate where TCU or Tenn is, but this explanation makes no sense.

Take advice from "Big Mouth Billy Bass"

[Spankytoes 1735]

Doesn't matter. When we pants TCU they will slide back anyway

[Skipper 6088]

Both schools of thought are right.  TCU should be rated higher if this is a resume contest. We would be if we had that resume. I also think a decent chance we are undefeated right now if we play TCU's schedule and I don't think they could hang with any of the other undefeated teams (except Clemson).  I'm impressed they haven't slipped up yet, and they are a solid squad, but I still think they lose 2 in conference.

TCU can definitely lose any of the games left on the schedule. Including TTU this weekend. 

On the other hand, they could have lost almost every game so far. But they didn’t.

Good teams find ways to win. That’s what they’ve done so far. They’re playing with house money at this point, fast, loose, and free. Which makes them more dangerous.

This Saturday at Notre Dame might be best shot to see Clemson lose before a possible ACC Championship game.

If Clemson goes undefeated, they are likely in the playoffs, even though they are not deserving of a Top 4 ranking.

Yeah, OSU not being punished at all for dicking around with an awful NW team is dumb. Michigan’s schedule is an absolute joke though. 
I’m shocked Bama dropped that much.

Neither would be anywhere near our ranking if they played our schedule. The benefits of being a non-power 5 is you get to look good in the lower top 25 rankings with poor SoS. When they fuck up and get too high in the rankings, they get bopped on the nose.

SC has zero business being ahead of us.  0 wins against top 25.  Lost to a team we beat handily.  Brand is the only thing giving them the nod.  That’s ok, they’ll get their’s on the 19th.

Because he makes shit up, this is from a week ago:

After the rankings reveal, chair of the CFP selection committee Boo Corrigan revealed the reason as to why they had ranked Alabama over TCU. Corrigan said that they are “looking for a balanced team on offense and defense” in regards to TCU, while pointing out Alabama’s wins over Mississippi State, Arkansas, and Texas, in addition to their close loss to Tennessee.
