Scenarios for Final 2022 CFP Rankings

Never thought I'd see the day where 2 B1G teams make the playoff

Before the 12 team playoff I assume?

Correct. Definitely expect to see 2-3 every year in the 12-team format

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

They accepted the inevitable for the 4th spot, but they've furiously spent the rest of the show pumping up Alabama for next season.

Seems the threshold will be ~3 losses to make the top 12.

Shouldn’t be that hard to do.

Bama, Ohio state, Georgia, Tsun, Penn State, USC, Clemson should be in Basically every year. I expect an another random SEC team or 2 and another B1G team, plus the Pac and random Pac B1G should be the others teams oh and possibly a rand G5

Penn State? They went 7-6 and 4-5 the two years before this year. They're hardly consistent enough to expect them to be an annual participant. I'd expect them in 50% of the time tops

I feel like ever other year they were at least 9-3.. I'd need to look though. and USC by the metric shouldn't be good but Iexpect them to better under Riley

12 spots for 5 conferences essentially. Finish top 2-3 any given year and you should be in the mix. Penn State can do that.

They had a solid stretch from 2016-2019 but even that stretch they had a 4-loss season. Their ceiling is still 2 losses minimum and their floor is a lot lower than people think.

USC coming in will make that a little tougher, even though the Pedsters will probably only play them every 3 or 4 years.

But Penn St should be able to go at least 9-3 half of the time,

Well, if that's not an argument for no automatic bids, I don't know that I have one.

This.

That bracket is a little, um, lopsided I'd say.

Seems like some pissed off fans concoction more so than reality.

 

[buckeyemania11]

The talk of Bamas “strong finish” from Saban and some of the talking heads cracks me up

unranked ole miss…and they survived to win

Austin Peay

A awful Auburn team

strong indeed.

 

[Bucklion]

Interesting.

That seeding is so wrong, Kevin Warren would call foul
