This shit is rage inducing. Some clown has 7-4 Illinois ranked, but not the UW team who beat them by 19 a couple weeks ago. Another guy dropped Oregon 2 spots from 5 to 7 after beating USC. He dropped USC 4 spots. Ole Miss had a bye and Oregon beat a top 15 team and the Rebels jumped the Ducks.

Going to suck to lose to an unranked team
Could be a first for Dan. Has never lost to one.
Sorry, I meant that one voter.
JMU, Texas State and Tulane in the top 25 is bullshit
Texas Tech as #5 last week’s playoff ranking was joke.
If both TT and BYU get in the playoffs burn it down. Most of the teams above schedules are absolute dog shit.
Hopefully when the group of 5 gets blown out the committee makes another adjustment like after last season. Both TT and BYU would be at 3 or 4 loses playing in the Big Ten or SEC

UW to me is a top 20 team….especially at home.
If they were a national brand they’d get more respect.
I think AP pollsters are still disgusted by the Wisky game and everyone knows UCLA is dogshit. Nico might be the worse starting QB of any P4 team west of the Mississippi

Many of these voters do little to no homework before sending in their vote.
TLDR - It’s no different than 41 years ago when they voted BYU number 1 in 1984. UW lost to SC and Washington as an underdog went to the Orange Bowl and beat up number 2 Oklahoma (can’t remember the pre bowl rankings). All the talk on tv/espn and newspapers were: when mighty OU/Switzer/Boz run roughshod over Warshington the Sooners would be crowned national champions and overtake byu.
Byu in the wac beat nearly nobody including an average Michigan team with 3 losses based off memory in some shit bowl, something like a holiday bowel. I hated byu for a solid 30 years post 84.
My point is the rankings are “garbage in garbage out” and the playoff rankings aren’t much different when you have had 3 to 4 group of 5 teams with mediocre wins in the top 25 much of the season. If BYU beats Texas Tech the Big 12 might actually get 2 teams in the playoff (total bs) and they will each get their ass handed to them in the playoffs unless one get slotted to play a team like Tufuckinglane.
TT was at 5 in the playoff rankings and they will likely stay if there if they beat byu. In no universe do they deserve the top seed after the 4 teams with a bye. I hope we play a 10-2 byu or Texas Tech after one misses the playoff and show an average team like UW throttles a team like BYU on a neutral site hopefully in Cali.
I believe many UW fans don’t believe UW deserves a ranking inside 22 until we see a bunch of pretenders like JMU and their best win is wsu at home by 3 points ahead of UW or SC.
We? could beat at least 1/3 of those teams at home. On the road, we lose to all but the bottom 20 worst teams, though.
G5 teams should be exceptional and probably undefeated to qualify for the playoff. Like the Petersen Boise teams that went undefeated and beat teams like Georgia, Oregon, Michigan State or Virginia Tech in preseason. Hell, even last years Boise team was decent. Their only loss was a close call vs #1 Oregon. From the last 30 years I can count on two hands the few G6 teams that should have had a shot. A couple of Utah teams, a couple TCU teams, maybe four BSU teams, one Memphis team and maybe Flecks last W. Michigan team or the N Illinois team that went undefeated. The fact they feel the need to shove one in there every year is retarded. Especially in the NIL times. Few of those teams I mentioned would ever exist today because their top 10 players would have been poached before the team ever matured into a power. 2 loss G6 teams should be automatically disqualified. Sorry, be better.
The TCU team that seemed like they were worthy lost by 60 to Georgia
Sad
Sad
I was more thinking the one with Andy Dalton that won the Rose Bowl.
N Illinois got smoked by FSU in their bowl game.
Yes, I know but they were at least undefeated. Hard to tell a team that won every game to fuck off. If they want a seat at the adult table their margin for error should be razor thin. Letting in a 2 loss G5 school is beyond Ghey. I also forgot to mention the two really good UCF teams. The Frost version that beat Auburn and I think George O’Leary had one with Blake Bortles that was damn fine and might not embarrass itself in a first round playoff game.
The first round wasn't all that competitive with P4 teams
