Playoff Rankings. How is an 8-2 Iowa State team


Dec 8, 2020, 10:03 PM

ranked ahead of a 9-1 Louisiana team that kicked their ### and an undefeated Coastal Carolina team that beat Louisiana?

P5 vs. G5 bias? That's about the best I got, lol.

The Louisiana game was the 1st game of the season, and they certainly didn't kick their butts. They did win, but Iowa State has improved all year long and is at it's best now.

G5 should hold their own CFP, like Div.2'3,NAIA...

Coastal Carolina has twice as many win as OSU. Coastal has 10 wins, OSU only has 5!!!! Also, Pinn St VS OSU was 38-25 Penn St VS Maryland was 35-19. Penn St only scored 19 points on Maryland, and they scored 25 on OSU, but the Maryland vs OSU game was canceled. What looked to be OSU's toughest opponent in Maryland was canceled!!!!

Simply put politics, it sucks nationally and collegically.

Is that the same Maryland team that lost by 16 to an Indiana team that Ohio State beat? Or is that the same Maryland team that lost 43-3 to NW?

OSU would beat Coastal by 70 points if they wanted to.

That’s what BYU thought also

Doubtful I'm sure they thought they would win tho. BYU isn't close to Ohio St though so it doesn't really matter. Anybody with half a brain can tell OsU is one of the top 4 teams idc how many games they have played.

Iowa State ranked ahead of 8-0 Cincy and 8-1 Miami, too***

Meanwhile they won't rank Florida ahead of A&M


Dec 9, 2020, 8:24 AM

because of head to head. That doesn't seem to apply here though. Like not even remotely. Louisiana is 12! spots behind Iowa State. I'm not even the kind of person that gets upset when team A beat team B yet team is ranked higher. That in itself doesn't bother me at all, but 12 spots? It's not like Iowa State has been a juggernaut outside of that one game either. They've played in 5 one-possession games in Big XII play and have managed to win 4 of those.

It's just anti-G5 bias. There's really no consistent logic that can be applied to explain their ranking of G5 teams, not just this year, but for the entire 7 years of existence. The only thing that is consistent is that the best G5 teams are undervalued in the CFP rankings every single year.

I'm not even trying to argue that the G5 should be in the playoff just for the committee to make some attempt at ranking them properly. It feels to me like they just want to keep them an arms length from the top 4 at all times to avoid any possible controversy and pressure to put them into the playoff down the road.

Yea I really do not understand their logic there. Yes Iowa St beat Texas and OU but those teams are not that good this year. Iowa St should be outside the top 15 imo.
