In the last three years...
There's been 16 conference championship game losers that were ranked in the CFP Top 25 entering the game.
15 of the 16 losers dropped in the next poll.
The lone exception...the 2025 Alabama Crimson Tide.
So remind me. It only counts when BYU gets blown out in the conference title game, but for Bama it doesn’t matter cause it’s an extra game for them? I think I got it now. 🙄. Make it make sense.
Every conference championship loser who was ranked dropped at least one spot…
…except Alabama, who lost by 21 and put up -3 rushing yards.
OSU dropped 1
BYU dropped 1
Virginia dropped 2
North Texas dropped 1
Even for Alabama fans, there’s no denying what’s going on here. 😬
G5 automatic qualifier is great for the sport. It gives those guys something to play for. College football isn’t just played in the SEC. It’s nationwide
BYU has more wins than Miami.
BYU has a better strength of schedule than Miami.
BYU has a better strength of record than Miami.
BYU lost to #4 Tech twice, Miami lost to unranked SMU and Louisville.
I literally can’t find any logical reason why Miami is going to the CFP.
Between Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU and Miami, BYU is:
1st in strength of record
2nd in strength of schedule
1st in Wins vs Top 25
And leads Notre Dame and Miami in all 3 of those categories.
(With their 2 losses being to the #4 team in the country not to FSU or NC State)
“You shouldn’t be punished for playing in a conference championship game.”
Okay, great.
Alabama’s ranking stayed the same.
But why did BYU drop a spot behind a team that sat idle this week?
The agenda is blatant and obvious. #CFBPlayoff
Alabama loses 3 games, gets blownout twice, loses 2 of their final 4…doesn’t drop one spot
BYU loses 2 games all season, both to the same team, who is one of THE BEST in the country…gets dropped out of the playoff entirely
eSECpn has officially killed this sport. There is no surviving this. But hey, they made THEIR money right, sooo what do they care about the sport we all love🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️

The committee is going to get the final at-large spot objectively wrong. Sad for BYU and CFB.
I’ll go mad talking about this but all Fritz wanted was job security, TK refused to give it.
Yet every other coach that’s come in after has shit the bed yet seem to have better job security to the point of insane but outs.
Make it make any kind of sense
