Overall Rationale: Eye test, previous rank, common opponents, injuries and overall collective performance (eye test). Includes my playoff ranking.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
At halftime I was debating on UW being here, but a 26 point shutout is plenty enough. |
| 2 |
Washington Huskies
|
An argument for UW to be #1 could be made but it’s hard to argue against a 26-0 shutout. |
| 3 |
Texas Longhorns
|
Has one of the best wins and has looked dominant since Ewers got healthy. #1 choice between the other 3 possible teams. |
| 4 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
My stance is “best 4 teams” not “4 most deserving”. I understand that others will go the “deserving” route but I cant go against the criteria of “best 4 teams” from the CFP Committee mission/charter statements. |
| 5 |
Florida State Seminoles
|
If they’re in, it’s due to the “most deserving vs better team “ argument. Leaving them 5 as first one out since it’s between them and Bama. |
