CFB Selection Committee Rankings (Updated 11/11)

[Moiraine]

 

note sure why Ole Miss gets in over KSU or Notre Dame. They lost to top teams.

 

Because they have a win over a top 5 team.

 

 

And I argued with myself into thinking... Notre Dame/KSU have already had their chance to be FSU/Auburn. Maybe later on in the season if they look like they're better than the committee could decide they deserve another shot at it.

Marshall not in the top 25. It's more than just wins.

[Redux]

The Big 12 will drop out like flies after one weekend from the look of things. Saw on ESPN we are considered favorite one loss team to snatch a playoff berth. This is strictly considering we have the best shot at winning out.

[SWAMI]

I like that the committee appears to take wins and losses pretty seriously. The two unbeaten teams are #1 and #2. All the one-loss teams are next, except Duke and East Carolina, which have five 2-loss teams ahead of them.

 

I think you absolutely have to value wins and losses as the first criteria.

I don't know. Wouldn't pretty uniforms be more important?

Undefeated Marshall would like a word...

I mean among power-5 teams.

 

I'd like to see some re-alignment done so that power-5 teams are in their own division, that way teams like Marshall can compete to be a national champion among similarly situated teams.

To be fair Marshall kinda struggled with FAU, we know how good they are. Still if Marshall finishes 13-0 they deserve a good ranking and a new years day bowl.

Not bad. Will be great to see what they look compared to this at the end of the year.

[BigRedBuster]

If that's how the final playoff would end, don't expect me to be watching. Absolutely no interest.

 

Hopefully it takes care if itself over thd next month.

There's an article up now on ESPN: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11780604/college-football-playoff-rankings-mississippi-state-bulldogs-florida-state-seminoles-top

Not sure I understand this new method- I think the top four teams will play in two bowl games and the final two in a championship game in the new year. I don't know if this is much better than the BCS or the previous method. Looking at this first list, its possible that there could be more than 4 teams considered worthy- especially by the fans and writers.

 

I still think they should play all bowl games as they have been played up to now and then select the top 4 teams. The semi-finals should be played in mid January and the championship game on the day before the Super Bowl. There may be more than 4 teams looking like championship teams after all bowl games are played but less likely that the present method. I sent an email to Perlman and his opinion was that the extended time would be too disruptive to the academics. I think only four schools would be affected and they would be more than compensated by huge TV revenues.

My solution would be to give all conference champs an automatic bid and have the playoff committee determine the at large bids.

[Notre Dame Joe]

How about 1/3 committee, 1/3 computers, 1/3 polls?

[ohiocornhusker]

I have said before that we need a 12 team playoff. Each conference champion from each of the 10 division 1 conferences and 2 wild cards from where ever. If an independent is in the top 10 at season end they get one of the 2 wild cards automatically. Top 4 teams have a bye the first week. Take the week off afer the ccg and then play each weekend until the final game which would fall on the same weekend that the championship game is now.

 

On any given "Saturday" any one can win, if you are a Division 1 school you deserve a chance.....

I still think 8 is the magic #. Power 5 school conf champ is auto bid. Then 3 at large bids. No reason to water it down anymore than that.
