Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) 2024, using the Week 8 AP Poll and adjusting for conference realignment. ACC - 4 teams ranked. 4. FSU, 10. UNC, 16. Duke, and 21. Louisville. B12 - 1 team, 14. Utah ranked. Independent - 1 team ranked. 15. The Domers Pac-2 - 1 team ranked. 12. Oregon State. Add OSU and WSU to the Mountain West and with Air Force at 22, 2 MW teams would be ranked. B1G - 8 ranked - 2. Michigan/ 3. Ohio State/ 5. Washington (SIGH)/ 7. Penn State/ 9. OREGON/ 18. USC/ 24. Iowa/ 25. UCLA. SEC - 8 ranked - 1. Georgia/ 6. Oklahoma/ 8. Texas/ 11. Alabama/ 13. Ole Miss/ 17. Tennessee/ 19. LSU/ 20. Missouri. Does CFB (except for the ever-present Dinero) need a Playoff come 2026 (except perhaps for 'political' reasons) other than the best of the B1G vs. the best of the SEC? By 2026, Clemson and FSU could be in the SEC, and UNC and Notre Dame could be in the B1G. In this case, would any team outside of the B1G 20 and the SEC 20 (add 2 plus FSU and Clemson out of Louisville, Georgia Tech, Miami, or NC State to the SEC) have any shot at a title? I don't think so. I see no reason why either of the top 2 conferences would expand beyond 20 teams. Size goes to size and I am so happy that Puddles is landing in a B1Gger nest.
