We’re about to get a look at the first release of the College Football Playoff Rankings Tuesday night, and it comes in a very delayed fashion from previous years because of all the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic.
Some conferences got going relatively early in the season while others in the Big Ten and Pac-12 waited much later. As if there weren’t enough arrows being slung at the College Football Playoff Committee in years past, this year will be even tougher to appease the masses.
There are so many questions.
How will teams that have played far-less games than others be judged? How do you compare apples to apples when almost all games have taken place within a vacuum of each team’s own conference? How harshly will teams be judged for a loss without key players because of COVID-19 protocols?
Nobody really knows.
But one thing is for certain. We’re about to get a look at the craziest rankings exercise we’ve seen during this whole College Football Playoff experiment to date. We’re here to try and sort it out for you by providing a prediction on what the top ten might look like.
So ready away, and then throw it out and burn it once we’re way off when the committee does some severe over-thinking.
