not. In a hypothetical world where everybody could play everybody, they likely wouldn't end up with the 6th best record.

But do I think they deserve that ranking? Absolutely.

With the system we have in place they absolutely deserve that ranking. They are undefeated in a P4 conference 9 games into the season. That is worth something.

And that is the beauty of the expanded playoff. Maybe they are a top 10 team and maybe they aren't. But with this system we will give 12 quality teams a fair shot in post season play.
