Crimson Tide land at No. 11 in the CFP rankings

Barring an upset in Saturday's ACC title game between Clemson and SMU, Alabama might be headed back to the College Football Playoff for the ninth time in the past 11 seasons, as the Crimson Tide were ranked No. 11 in the latest CFP rankings on Tuesday.

So would Texas knock Georgia out with a win Saturday?

Or is the SEC getting 4 teams in for sure?

What about Boise Losing to UNLV? How would that impact the rankings?

Boise at 10 in the AP rankings. To me if they lose, they drop out and either UNLV or Army squeeze in as the 12 seed.

The crazy part about that would be the B12 team would get a bye at the #4 seed in playoffs.

Booger macfarlan would be the worst coach ever. Dumb, unlikeable and a know it all

His zany name has him on tv

Pretty awful

But good for everyone else. Easier competition

At least they put Ohio State ahead of Tennessee. Should’ve been ahead of Georgia too

Yes. Army isn’t completely out of it.

They’d likely get killed but would be pretty cool. I made a lot of $$ off them this year

Smu and Boise with the buy. You know smu should of lost the opener to Nevada. Miracle comeback

 

[BigJay]

The fact SMU and Bosie have byes jump off the page at me under this new 12-team format

I remember now this being the set-up but still looks strange.

Could actually lead to an upset one of these teams/underdogs with rest against a blue-blood in the semis

Conferences are dying eventually

Conferences are dying eventually

Agree with this statement.

we will have a ncaa basketball like tourney maybe?

Not sure but conferences are definitely slowly dying not named Big 10 and SEC

 

[stormtrooper8]

SEC bias is alive and well

 

[KingKolzig]

If clemson wins

11-2 Smu
9-3 Alabama

Smu could be selected

 

[stormtrooper8]

If clemson wins

11-2 Smu
9-3 Alabama

Smu could be selected

You just know they won’t be lol

“Playing in your conference championship game matters”……only if you’re the SEC

SEC should have 2 teams max this year

 

[KingKolzig]

Clemson wins they are in is the thinking. And ive looked at recruiting grades for 2025 Clemson has fallen way off. Dabo needs this bad

 

[Tanko]

This messes with your mind.......
The 4 likely major conference champions could all have played in a difference conference 1 year ago.

• Big10 likely champion: Oregon (PAC-12 last year).
• ACC likely champion: SMU (Altantic Coast Conf last year)
• B12 likely champion: Ariz St. (PAC-12 last year)
• SEC likely champion: Texaxs (B12 last year)
