The most a team has dropped in the rankings after losing a CCG? 4 spots

5:43pm

If BYU wins 4 of its next 5 games it is probably in.

5:44pm

12-1 and we are in

If we win the CCG. I don't see it otherwise. I think the rankings today proved..

Nah, that's silly to penalize a team for playing in the CCG

5:45pm

It's silly, but it's reality.

Team Chaos

5:46pm

It's not, though. There is no precedent for a team dropping that far in the

I'm imagining a scenario where Boise State wins out and we lose in the CCG. In..

Boise State is already in - they aren't taking someone's spot

5:50pm

There is no history. This is the first year of a 12-team playoff. You're making

There is history of the CFP rankings

Team Chaos

It mattered for NY6 games

5:53pm

No, it didn't. Those bowls weren't obligated to take CFP-ranked teams.
