2018 AP Poll, USAT Coaches’ Poll and CFP Rankings

I just can't believe that a team can go undefeated two consecutive years and still will not be able to play in a four team playoff.

Last year was unfair. This year is disgusting...
 
UCF isn’t as good this year as they were last year, and the injury to Milton is devastating. I don’t mind them not qualifying for a 4 team contest this year as I don’t think they’ll show well.

If tOSU leapfrogs them in the playoff poll, though, that would be full on ridiculous, IMHO.

"Showing well" is not the point. They've more than earned a chance to play for it. This is just more evidence that the so called power 5 are behaving as a monopoly, and the NCAA is a sham...

I'm convinced that UCF could go undefeated five years in a row and not get to sniff the college playoffs. LSU is higher in the coaches poll with 2 losses. Unreal...

Depends who they have scheduled OOC.

No, it doesn't.

If that's what's keeping them out, then the NCAA has one of two options:

1) create the conferences in FBS such that all have a strength of schedule that one can live with in order to call them the 4th ranked team in the country (which is what we're talking about).

2) stop this sham that the non p5 FBS teams are actually FBS. Of course, doing that would probably elicit law suits, etc., which is why they don't explicitly state it and continue with this robbery.

Hope for wins by Georgia, Oklahoma, and Ohio State next week.

Maximum Chaos! and public demand for an 8 team field.
 
Really, just Georgia. Do we think they snub Bama? On the flipside, UCF needs Northwestern, Texas, and Bama to win.

You need all three to win. It will be easy to snub OSU and OU with losses.

If all three win my guess is that two SEC teams will be in and OSU and OU will be pounding sand. (need Clemson to win too)

Biggest surprises are LSU and Army with (I hate to say this) Cuse
Wisconsin, Miami and Washington has to be the biggest losers but after watching Washington a few times I never saw the hype. Also FSU was never going to be in top 20
Where would CFU be with a healthy QB??
Must be a typo because I don't see Connecticut anywhere - not even ORV?

Wash St, Kentucky, Syracuse big winners with USC, FSU, Wisc, Mia big disappointments

You would've thought a 4 year starting QB would show more poise in the pocket, but half the time he looked like a Fr. running scared, who'd never seen a blitz before in his life. I can't believe Browning is the same QB who had a monster soph season, but I gotta think having Ross, Pettis and McClatcher to throw to made him look a lot better than he actually was. Darn near half of his career TDs (43 of 94) was from that one season. He never even reached 20 in any other year.
 
...I thought that Miami would win more games....

...FSU guys knew they wouldn't finish well and the boards said "over rated" with the O line that they had.

...Florida looked to be a year ahead of schedule rebuilding.

...Kentucky with 10 wins? Who da thunk it?

...The top of the chart was pretty close.
