How the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season differ from the AP poll

With the CFP poll holding all of the power now, it’s worth seeing how the committee-selected rankings differ from the latest AP poll, which came out on Sunday.

It happens like this every year.

ISU agrees. They beat UCF 38-35 the week before and we passed them on their BYE.

I want a huge win too, but I also like getting our depth some reps. We haven’t

Practice blowing coverages in conference games?

You just made his point

You EARN PT from excellence in practice

Better than losing our best players to injury and blowing coverages in playoff

Going into a bye week? Yes! Time to correct and teach while fresh and improve depth

Just gotta win the conference so we don’t rely on a committee decision

They matter but not going to be upset with the coaches or team after the ucf

This brings up an interesting dilemma. What is the purpose of BYU Football?

MarylandFan

1:24pm

Edwards did because of the possbility of losing the game. We had UCF carving us

I don't think we were holding back out of politeness yesterday

MarylandFan

Game was never in doubt. Kalani was playing intelligently to win and won

I do not think coaches would be any less effusive about Sitake if we scored more

I disagree RUTS is 'mean', it's just a game, it's how it goes.

That's fair.

MarylandFan

Agreed….no killer instinct. That has always been the case with Kalani. He will

It doesn’t matter how it was done, ND was always going to be ahead of us.

I’d add that beating an East coast team helps us break the East coast bias.

And going up 34-10 by the start of the 4th Q on ESPN @ 3:30pm doesn't hurt

MarylandFan

3:12pm

It’s not our offense’s job to play defense

JonnyB

3:11pm

Ya, let's just overlook the fact that ND beat a ranked team on the road

SUAVO

1 loss byu vs 1 loss ND we lose every time regardless of our victory margin

No. Being ND matters. Being in the SEC matters.

Keep telling yourself that. It directly influences the cfp poll.

Hard to argue with that.

Just win, baby. It will all take care of itself if we keep winning.

Isn't that what FSU said last year?

The problem is that our defense is not a lockdown defense. It’s opportunistic. It loses a lot of battles, but it wins

Who cares? Honestly. If the powers that be want to be dinks, let them be dinks on their own.

Notre dame lost to northern Illinois. It’s just ridiculous they are ranked this

Idacoug

7:31pm

Notre Dame is historically one of the most overrated programs

bythenumbers

7:41pm

I thought so too, but they play well regular season. Faceplant in post season.

MarylandFan

7:48pm

Will Notre Dame having a larger TV draw also factor into the decision?

thecostarican

9:02pm

Nothing to figure out. Kalani just doesn't want to put them "away big".
