The CFN final poll is a joke....
:
2022 College Football Rankings: CFN
3 Tulane (12-2)
2022 CFN Season Score: 23.04
2022 CFN Final Opinion Ranking: 16
2022 CFN Preseason Ranking: 88
2021 CFN Season Score: 111
Best Win: USC 46-45 (Cotton Bowl)
Worst Loss: Southern Miss 27-24
Quality Wins. Tulane had eight of them including the shocker over USC in the Cotton Bowl. The thrilling comeback was enough to count in several categories to move up into the top three – it would’ve been just inside the top ten with a loss. That, the win over Big 12 Champion Kansas State, and those six other wins over teams that finished with a winning record were enough to overcome rough losses to Southern Miss and the first time around against UCF.
4 Ohio State (11-2)
2022 CFN Season Score: 22.37
2022 CFN Final Opinion Ranking: 4
2022 CFN Preseason Ranking: 2
2021 CFN Season Score: 7
Best Win: Penn State 44-31
Worst Loss: Michigan 45-23
The team might have been a field goal away from almost certainly winning a national championship, but there weren’t quite enough big victories to get the No. 3 spot.
The two losses to finish up the season might have been Elite – losses to teams that finished with two losses or fewer – but that’s offset by the Bad Wins over Arkansas State and Northwestern and the lack of Quality Wins.
