Mariota for sure. He’s the best CFB QB on here. Burrow had a legendary season but what Mariota did over 3 years was incredible.

-11,000 passing yds
-105 TDs
-14 INTs
- 2,200 rushing yds
- 29 rushing TDs

[PFF College @PFF_College]

The best college quarterback of the decade?

[Adam Eargle @adameargle]

Hot take: since we're going up to a 24-team playoff...bring back the BCS computers. It was controversial when it had to pick 2 teams, but 24 leaves a lot less opportunity for scrutiny.

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

I love this so much. Dickert is a damn good coach and I think he’s got the chance to build something special in Winston-Salem if they can finish this season right and make the CFP

[On3 @On3]

NEW: Wake Forest head coach Jake Dickert is working on a contract extension with the Demon Deacons, @bportnoy15 reports🎩

"We didn’t come here to leave," Dickert said.

“A damn good LSU team” is objectively hilarious

Tigers are 6-3, .500 in the SEC, don’t have a ranked win, and their best win is against Clemson

Alabama beating Duke or SMU on the road would’ve legitimately been more impressive

[Hunter Nixon @Hunter4Nixon]

Wrong. Bama beat a damn good LSU team. On the road.

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

“Faith and Fortune” is deadass a Hall of Fame level nickname for this duo holy shit

[Matthew S. @MatthewMKE98]

Calling the Packers WR Duo “Faith and Fortune” is so unbelievably tough that I might have to start using it

One of the hardest videos I’ve seen 😭😮‍💨

I knew who these teams are almost immediately, but C & D truly go in and A-B go out

At a certain point you have to reward winning

College Football Playoff Blind resumes

2 are in. 2 are out

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

The data is flawed, and a huge conflict of interest if we’re being honest. I’ve used my eyes and watched these teams play down to lesser talented teams or just flat out play like crap

We always talk about “10-2 vs P4 non-con” but the quality of those teams is suspect as hell

[Bud Elliott @BudElliott3]

We didn’t. We laughed at the SEC’s claims last year. This is a different year.

If you’re honest and just look at the data you realize it changes and you should change your opinion with it

[Kyle Walter @kylerulez]

Georgia runs Utah out of the building

[Some.BYU.Dude @ByuSome]

Wisconsin's 3 best wins:
#18 USC (7-2)
Penn State (5-4)
Michigan State (3-6)

Mizzou's 3 best wins:
Florida (5-4)
TA&M (4-5)
Kansas (3-6)

Wisconsin losses:
#4 UCLA (9-0)
#5 Notre Dame (8-1)
#15 Iowa (7-2)

Mizzou losses:
#6 Texas (7-2)
#19 Ole Miss (6-3)
Mississippi State (4-5)

This resume comparison isn't even remotely close. Better wins? Wisconsin. Better losses? Wisconsin.

Like I can't even fathom on how Earth Mizzou is ranked right now. Makes no sense. Solely to prop up the SEC.

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

But Danny, the SEC is 10-2 vs other P4 conferences!!! Don’t you know that’s all that matters?!

That clearly means they’re head and shoulders better than every other conference!

[Danny Kanell @dannykanell]

Teams with a record of 6-3 or better from each P4:

Big Ten - 9
SEC - 9
ACC - 8
Big 12 - 7

So on brand as to what we’ve come to expect from him: A few big plays, but by and large mediocre QB play

[BrownsNation.com @BrownsNationcom]

Ben Solak of ESPN cautioned against being fooled by Shedeur Sanders’ box score, pointing to his 31% success rate and arguing that most of his plays were below average despite a few impressive highlights.

“31% success rate on the day with those good of numbers, that is preposterously low. The league average for success rate is 41-42%. Success rate is just a measure of what percent of your plays as a quarterback were positive plays for the offense. Sanders had remarkably fewer positive plays than the average quarterback in the league does on any given day. It would have been the second-worst Deshaun Watson day in terms of the percent of his plays that were just positive. When you see the Sanders box score and the highlights this week, just know that those were three of 11 to 12 good plays, and then everything else was below average to brutal in this performance."

Found someone on this app with some brain cells. Thought it couldn’t be done.

This is the latest #KBPoll, almost identical!

[Rob Donaldson @RobDFB]

This is what the actual CFP 🏈 rankings should look like:

1. Utah
2. Georgia
3. UCLA
4. Notre Dame
5. Indiana
6. Miami
7. Wake Forest
8. Texas
9. Tennessee
10. Texas Tech
11. Alabama
12. Boise State
13. BYU
14. Houston
15. Kentucky
16. Iowa
17. Duke
18. Arizona
19. New Mexico
20. Oklahoma State
21. Oregon
22. USC
23. Ohio State
24. Ole Miss
25. Louisville

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

Yeah, why is LSU & South Carolina ranked to begin with?

Sounds like it’s only to prop up Alabama’s schedule to give them a couple extra Top 25 wins. Because without those two, it’s clear as day that Tennessee should be ahead of Alabama

[Kevin Scarbinsky @KevinScarbinsky]

For the "Tennessee should be ranked ahead of Alabama" crowd after the CFP ranked the Tide No. 3 and the Vols No. 8:

Alabama is 3-2 vs. the latest CFP top 25. Tennessee is 2-2.

Alabama
W (11) Kentucky A
W (17) South Carolina H
W (21) LSU A
L (1) Georgia H
L (8) Tennessee A

Tennessee
W (3) Alabama H
W (11) Kentucky H
L (6) Texas H
L (17) South Carolina A

Alabama is 5-2 in the SEC. Tennessee is 4-2. Per CFP committee chairman Hunter Yurachek, Tennessee has 3 wins against teams with a 110+ SOS. Per ESPN, Alabama has the No. 1 SOS while Tennessee is No. 23.

Any questions?

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

“If you look at a bunch of metrics made up by ESPN but ignore the literal results of the games, it makes sense that Alabama is ahead of Tennessee”

Congrats, you just gave us a super longwinded answer as to what’s wrong with college football

[College Football Nerds @CFBNerds]

I feel like I've spent the last week defending Alabama, but...
1) There is a very clear power rating order between Alabama (FPI 3, FEI 4) -> Texas (7, 6) -> Tennessee (9, 11).
2) There is a very clear SOS order between Alabama (FPI 1, FEI 1) -> Texas (11, 2) -> Tennessee (23, 27).
3) There is a very clear SOR order between Alabama (FPI 5, FEI 1) -> Texas (9, 2) -> Tennessee (12, 15).

There is little doubt that Alabama should be ranked ahead of Texas. They aren't in the same ranking/rating "pool" as Tennessee, and Tennessee can't jump Texas.

If you look at literally anything other than "but Tennessee beat Alabama," when comparing teams with multiple losses and tons of ranked wins, Alabama clearly should be ranked ahead of Texas and Tennessee.

[Steak F @steaakfriend]

So to confirm 2 loss Bama is.

1 spot ahead of undefeated UCLA.

2 spots ahead of 1-loss Notre Dame, who just beat the #1 team in the country.

3 spots ahead of Texas, who has the same amount of losses and way more impressive wins.

5 spots ahead of 2-loss Tennessee, who beat the shit out of them.

6 spots ahead of 1-loss defending champion Indiana, who dropped 5 spots after a bye.

Sureeeeeeeeeeeee

[Dusty Baker @DustyBakerTV]

Compare the #CFBPlayoff rankings from Week 11 this year (Nov. 10 rankings) to Week 11 in 2016, 2011, and 2006.

"Strength of Schedule" has officially been given more weight than actually taking care of business and winning games.

That is a massive problem for college football.

[Josh Tejkl @jjtejkl]

We have let ESPN absolutely destroy College Football.

[K A L E B @CFB_KB]

Alabama isn’t even the best SEC team in terms of SOR. They’re 5th and behind Georgia

The #1 team in SOR is UCLA… who the committee has 4th… BEHIND ALABAMA

[Mike Rodak @mikerodak]

Hunter Yurachek on ESPN on Alabama: "They're No. 1 in record strength, No. 1 in schedule strength. They have four what we call quality wins because we continue to call that win against Mississippi State earlier in the year when they had Kamario Taylor on their team, they were 4-0. Alabama went there and won that game. Alabama we believe deserves to be the No. 3 team in the country."

[eSECpn @eSECpn]

“ ESPN has no influence over the rankings”

-Indiana dropped five spots after not playing.
-Miami dropped six spots after losing a one possession game on the road to a top 5 team.
-Notre Dame who beat the number one team is 5.
-Undefeated UCLA at 4 while….
-2 loss DOGSHIT Alabama at 3
-A team with a home loss to USF B team ahead of undefeated Utah
