Breaking Down and Predicting the College Football Playoff Race
The public just recently received the second edition of the College Football Playoff rankings, with
Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State. A trend that happens every year is the public complaining about the rankings. Everyone always gets mad why one team was in and one team was out. This year, I think the voting has been very interesting. Some things just don't make sense and I'm going to dive into a coupe of teams that shouldn't be considered as high and teams that should be considered higher.
Cincinnati Bearcats: Too Low
A team that has been fighting for respect more than any team this season is the Bearcats. With NFL talent leading both sides of the ball in Desmond Ridder and Ahmad Gardner, it's time for CFP to put them in the Top 4. They are undefeated this season, have a big time regular season win at Notre Dame, and straight up deserve a spot in the Top 4.
Oklahoma Sooners: Too Low
The Spencer Rattler led Sooners could be at #8 on this list. However, the Caleb Williams led Sooners are much higher than that. Williams led them to their only ranked win of the season versus Texas, and will look to add two more these next two weeks. They should be in the Top 6 no doubt about it. If they win out and the Big 12 Championship, playoff lock for Oklahoma.
Michigan Wolverines: Too High
Just a weird season for the Big Blue. No ranked wins, since Wisconsin wasn't ranked when they played them. One loss though, but lost to their rivals Michigan State who are ranked lower than them in these rankings. Michigan just seems like a solid football team this year, but nothing right now that deserves to have them above Michigan State or Oklahoma.
Baylor Football: Slightly Too High
Baylor Football hasn't been bad, hasn't been great, just good. They've had their ups this season, beating Iowa St, BYU and Texas. But they have their downs, with failing to be OSU after forcing 3 INTs and their upset loss to TCU this past week. I think just because of the TCU loss they should be 15-16 range, with a huge game against Oklahoma this weekend that could move them around drastically.
