Posted November 6, 2024Nov 6 Moderator There was no doubt about it, not even Joey Galloway, from Ohio State, had a problem with it. College Football Playoff: 5 Winners and losers from the first rankings FTW.USATODAY.COM The first CFP rankings went great for Oregon and the SEC
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Author Moderator Clearly having 64 teams instead 12 is a big difference. But, being No.1 in the basketball bracket is substantially superior to being a 5. In the football format, Oregon gets a bye, just like 2,3 & 4 do. While No.5 gets to host a home game against the No.12 team, while No.1's first game will be the winner of 8/9. There are definite advantages to being No.5.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Moderator A Shout Out From the AP! Oregon gets top billing in College Football Playoff's opening rankings, Ohio St 2nd and Georgia 3rd APNEWS.COM Undefeated Oregon got top billing in the first set of rankings on the road to college football's new, 12-team playoff. No. 5 is the PO At-Large sweet spot although if Boise is the 12 seed the 1st round game will not be a piece of potato pie. Beat the 12 seed and it's likely on to the Fiesta Bowl for a game against the 4-seed B12 representative. I will not be surprised if both the three and four seeds lose in the 2nd round. Utah is having a very bad year. But No.9 BYU, -3.5, travels to Salt Lake City for the Holy War game this Saturday and there is a reason for the skinny spread in this heated rivalry game. A BYU loss would give the Prime Time Buffs, blown out by Nebraska, a good shot at making the B12 title game and with two losses, having a 1st round bye. 😒 Trash the Terps!

Something definitely off here. Nebraska, Colorado & Oregon always messes things up. Edited November 6, 2024Nov 6 by 30Duck
