Ahead of Tuesday night's second rankings release, Heather Dinich picks the CFP field of 12 and eight teams on the bubble, then ranks the best of the Group of 5.
Trout vs. Harper in October? No Astros title in 2017? What if every World Series was between No. 1 seeds?
The lower Miami falls, the higher the chances are the Canes could lose a first-round bye that is awarded to the four highest-ranked conference champions. If Boise State runs the table and finishes as a one-loss Mountain West Conference champion, the Broncos will also be eligible to earn a top-four seed."The conferences teams play in don't factor into our decision," selection committee chair Warde Manuel said,"as we don't look at the public polls.
This is not a ranking. This is what the seeding and bracket would look like based on the committee's projected top 25 for this week -- plus a look at eight more teams that could play their way in, and how the Group of 5 race stacks up. This is a change from last week, with the Longhorns replacing Georgia for the No. 2 seed in spite of Georgia's head-to-head win against Texas in Austin earlier this season. Now that Georgia has two losses, the records and teams are no longer comparable, making it less likely the committee honors the head-to-head in its ranking. This seeding is based on the projection of Texas being the committee's top SEC team in its second ranking.
