2025 College Football Playoff Rankings

Honestly, if they hadn't expanded the CFP and we were stuck with the four Bye teams bracket, I think it would be a fair and competitive playoff.

I could live with four. I think the top three will be pretty obvious. But number four would likely draw a lot of arguments this year. You'd have an argument about the B1G CCG loser getting in, the SEC CCG loser including if the SEC CCG loser is more deserving than the #3 SEC team that didn't have/get to play the extra game, plus possibly Texas Tech. I think that would be a messy argument.

I've long been a fan of eight. That looks to be a really nice number from a competitive standpoint this year. But not as much money as 12.
 
12 is fine but they are doing it wrong. It is injustice IMHO.

The playoff is TV networks, Advertising interest and dollars, and sports media hype.

I know it will sort itself out soon because the SEC is not getting 5 of 12 teams into the playoff when there are 4 power conferences.

Unless there is just 2 to be honest?

Issue:

don't automatically allow a G5 team into the playoffs unless they are undefeated and kicking everyone's ACE. Then have a discussion about it. If the answer is no, still not good enough - then keep them out of it and give them top choice of Bowl Games.

Issue:

it is absurd to reward a G5 team a playoff berth, and then pit them against the 5th best team in the field. Which is usually the 2nd best in the SEC or B1G that lost in the CCG.

That is terribly unfair to the G5 team and the ideology of the sport with regards to competitive fairness. If G5 makes the playoffs, and get ranked 12th, please pit them against whoever is ranked 11th. Don't schedule them against Georgia, tOSU, etc, etc. (the #5 best team).

Issue:

ACC - why is Miami currently ranked in the playoff? They have 2 conference losses. Do you know who is above them in the ACC with fewer losses? Georgia Tech, Virginia, Pittsburgh, SMU, Duke, Louisville.

Miami is currently in 7th place of the ACC, but somehow is in the CFP.

Is it because Clemson is 10th?

Total BS.


Last issue:

Big 12 - Texas Tech is really good. Their only loss came on the road when their QB got injured. Played the next few games with RFR QB. On a neutral field in the playoffs, they will win a few rounds.

I don't think 13 games that matter out of about 60 games is the slam dunk you want it to be. I agree there hasn't been much of any ruining of the regular season, but this doesn't show that.

That's 26 of of 68 teams. I think your 60 games should be 60+ teams or 33-ish games in the last week of the regular season. About 40%.

How many games would have meant something under a 4-team playoff? How many before that?

How many would have to mean something to be meaningful to you?

I'm not sure how you're getting 68 teams when there are 120+ teams in D1, which makes about 60 games per weekend.
