Breakdown of the first College Football Playoff.

1. Cincy all the way down at number 6.

2. Oklahoma at number 8.

Oklahoma is lucky to be at 8, just based on how they have actually looked.

Cincy, isn't in a horrible or even wrong spot in my opinion. Two of the teams above them are guaranteed to lose at least 1 game.

No, it’s a really good starting point for establishing that all of the teams Cincinnati beat aren’t as good as they were the week before while all of the teams Ohio State and Alabama beat are better than we thought, even if those teams barely beat Colorado and lose to Bowling Green. 

At least UC doesn’t have to wait any longer to figure out they aren’t getting in.

So when are the rankings released that determine which four teams are currently in the playoffs?

I am still trying to figure out which rankings determine the four playoff teams, is it this one?

Yes. These CFP rankings are what matters. This is the first version of that.

Thanks and I agree with you, UC is not getting in.  Break out the round balls. 

Conference breakdown:

SEC- 7 teams

Big 10- 6 teams

Big-12- 3 teams

ACC- 3 teams

Mountain West- 2 teams

Independent- 2 teams

American- 1 team

Pac 12- 1 team

Not for another month.

yes, for the playoff and the New Year 6 bowl games as well. These will be put out every Tuesday from now until after the conference championship games on then on I think Sunday, Dec. 5th or 12th the final poll will be set with the games and bowl games as well.

The committee is crushing UC over the last two games and pretending Alabama is undefeated.

So in this thread to my question, No, Yes, No, confused...

This is the first version of the ranking that matters, correct?
