Here we go again. It's playoff ranking time, which means plenty of celebrating, complaining and accusing the selection committee of having absolutely no idea what it's doing.
Georgia, Notre Dame, Miami and the other leading contenders are fighting for position, but what about the teams just outside the picture?
Should an undefeated team automatically receive more respect than a team with a tougher schedule? How much should conference strength matter? And should head-to-head results count more than a committee's opinion?
Personally, I want to see teams rewarded for what they accomplish on the field. Reputation and conference loyalty shouldn't decide who gets a shot at the national championship.
Somebody is going to be unhappy with these rankings. That's practically guaranteed!
Which team do you think deserves a higher playoff ranking, and who is currently getting more respect from the committee than they've earned?
