Did College Football Playoff Committee Get it Right in Week 12 Rankings?
By Zach Bigalke
The College Football Playoff committee released its Week 12 rankings. Who was overrated and underrated in this week’s rankings?
After a crazy series of upsets in Week 11, not that much seemed to change in the College Football Playoff rankings when they were released on Tuesday night. Up to number two is Ohio State, but two of the three top-four teams that lost over the weekend remained in position to reach the semifinal games and the third, Washington, is still in striking distance at sixth.
What is interesting is that the College Football Playoff committee really didn’t rank things radically different than the old BCS standings. The order of the top five is identical between the two Top 25 lists, and the biggest discrepancies come once you fall outside of the top nine.
The BCS wouldn't have had it much different than the CFP committee did, at least at the top... more thoughts to come at @SaturdayBlitz. pic.twitter.com/sny7llujDT
