The Official Final CFP Rankings Thread

[HelluvaChemE]

@Kelly_Quinlan: Cincy, BYU, Boise St, Memphis, UCF, USF and others all speed dialing Big12 to pitch their teams.

This. I imagine there will be 12 teams again within three months.

Holy hell this is a ridiculously long show.

I think the real issue was stated earlier here in the thread. Their OOC schedule strength was crap.

I actually said that. But I also think their getting cute made it an easy decision. The playoff will go to 8 soon. Three of the five conferences risked being left out.

If it were OU and Texas instead of TCU and Baylor, we'd be hearing about why Ohio State didn't get in because of the VPI game.

Cincy and UCF would be two good adds to capture some populous states.

This too. Fair or not, as long as Texas is down I don't think Big 12 will get any respect.

Agree

Didn't think about UCF. I think BYU would be a great fit though. BYU is like Notre Dame and has fans beyond Utah and is geographically closer, but they do have WVU way out there on its' own. Cincy just doesn't do it for me. It used to be a commuter school.

Just read something about us playing Arizona in orange Bowl? No way.

Can't happen. Has to be ND/SEC/B1G

Good to hear

That is not the orange bowl; it is the siesta bowl.

 

[eneq]

Any idea on when they'll release the rest of the rankings?

 

[coit]

Near the end I think.

Tis not suspense, it's getting the ratings.

If they had already announced 5-25 no one would be watching anymore.

 

[GT1992]

They call all of the schools with the bowl matchups.

 

[gtzulu]

Orange Bowl and other bowl match-ups will be announced at 2:45 ET per CFB Playoff Twitter

 

[GTCrew4b]

I think the committee and espn just understand the ramifications of the rankings of 5-25 and they want to ensure they have compelling matchups with the bowl boards.
