We are now less than a week away from the first set of rankings by the College Football Playoff committee so things are about to get real — finally. However, we’re a little impatient and resourceful (opinions vary), so we’ve been trying to figure this whole thing out from early on in the season and will have reaction when the rankings are released beginning next Tuesday and beyond.
We’d like to tell you that we have a tried and true formula to project what the CFP committee has and will continue to do, but as we’ve seen, you might as well throw any of that out the window because things haven’t exactly followed a normal pattern each and every year.
Regardless, we’ve now seen eight weeks of the college football season so we’ve had some pretty good eyeballs on all the fun that makes up the race for the College Football Playoff. We’re moving forward with efforts to peer into the crystal ball to reveal what we think the CFP Rankings might have looked like after last week’s action.
There are sure to still be some surprises and juggling of all of this, but here’s where we believe things might have stood.
