The final CFP committee rankings? A hundred bucks says they'll be ranked #12. ;)

(Hint: The final playoff committee rankings were released a few weeks ago.)

Ah, I thought they released it again at the end. So they just give the trophy to the #1 and the AP and Coaches polls are just for the fun of it? Or do they give out an award too?

 
Yeah, the committee doesn't release another ranking at the end. AFAIK the AP poll is totally independent, they could theoretically vote for someone not in the playoff (like UCF) as #1. I wanna say the coaches poll is semi-independent, they were contractually obligated to vote the BCS champ as #1 and I think it's the same way with the CFP. The coaches poll winner is also the team that gets the crystal football, which is still given alongside the CFP trophy, albeit in a separate ceremony.

Just picked the first UCF related topic to throw this in.

What do you guys think UCF will be ranked in the final playoff rankings?

I think they'll have to keep the same top 4 to make themselves seem legitimate.

OSU/Wisconsin/Penn State had good victories. But UCF beat the highest ranked opponent out of these 4 teams. Using their own methodology, UCF should be 5th. UCF also beat the team that beat the 1st and 2nd place teams. That's a fact now.

Right now they are ranked 12th in the AP and 10th in the coaches poll. Auburn is ranked ahead of them. It's a travesty. They beat a team who beat two of the teams that went to the playoffs!  And this is how they 'justify their junk' decision-strength of schedule-are you kidding me??? It's not UCF's fault they weren't able to play folks higher up in the rankings.  Sickening:. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/21942367/college-football-playoff-executive-director-bill-hancock-stands-committee-decision-rank-ucf-no-12

 
This is cool history, but would it be out of line for this to be declared the last thread on the Husker Football board that includes UCF.
