College Football Playoff Rankings: Hits and Misses in Week 11 ranks

Despite plenty of slip-ups ahead of them, Fresno State remains 23rd after another ho-hum dominant performance by the Bulldogs, which is seven spots below their AP ranking.

Jeff Tedford‘s crew is 8-1, and outside of a road slip-up to Minnesota (which, admittedly looks worse-and-worse by the week), Fresno State has blown out every opponent it has faced, winning each game by 18+ points.

The Mountain West has been very good this season, and Fresno State has dispatched each of its conference opponents with relative ease, and yet they’ve gotten little love from the pollsters. The same goes for fellow MWC comrade Utah State, which ranks 14th in the AP Poll and yet hasn’t cracked the committee’s poll to this point.

What the committee has shown to this point is that they have zero respect for the Group-of-Five, furthering the thought that the only way they will get their just desserts is if the playoff is expanded, or the Group-of-Five hosts their own playoff. This current system doesn’t appear like it will ever give a team like Fresno State or Utah State the respect it deserves.
