The truly amazing thing about the crazy weekend we all had was how the College Football Playoff rankings became less crazy.
Like never before, it is becoming clear that there will not be a lot of perfect teams or Power Four teams with only one loss. It is also becoming clear that…
If you play in a Power Four league, going 10-2 is likely to get you in.
Based on our calculations, we think that only 12 Power Four teams, including Notre Dame, will win ten games in a season. That means the winner of Group Five has to be left out.
This is a bet that Miami will lose the ACC Championship and not keep getting lucky with a few other losses along the way. They will end up 10-3 in the weak ACC and miss out on the title. That will be the argument since no one really won.
With a record of 10-3, which team is ranked higher: Penn State (10-2) or Alabama (10-2)?
