Texas Tech Rising + Debating Playoff Ranking Methods
Manage episode 518877598 series 2830080
The second College Football Playoff rankings drop soon, and the guys dive into where things are heading down the stretch. How high could Texas Tech end up after dominating wins over BYU and other ranked opponents? Does Ole Miss deserve their lofty ranking, or is their resume thin?
The guys lock horns on how these teams should be evaluated: Should the committee rely on computer rankings and strength of record metrics, or focus on head-to-head results and quality wins? Bruce gets frustrated with power rankings that have 3-6 Penn State in the top 25, Ralph defends using analytics as a starting point, and Stew tries to find middle ground.
They also make their picks for the week's biggest games: Notre Dame at Pitt, Texas at Georgia, Oklahoma at Alabama, and Iowa at USC.
