On Tuesday night, BYU was ranked no. 9 in the first CFP Top 25 rankings. BYU's ranking was described byWhen the rankings were being unveiled and SMU came in at no. 13, I thought that would bode well for BYU's ranking. Surely, if the committee thought so highly of SMU as to rank them in the top 13, and on the cusp of a CFP birth, the team that handed them their only loss of the season should be highly regarded...
BYU was ranked behind big brands Texas, Tennessee, and Penn State who have fewer wins over Top 25 teams than BYU combined: one. This side-by-side comparison of BYU's resume compared to Penn State's is the perfect example. If the logos and brand names were removed and these two resumes were stacked against each other, there would be no excuse to rank BYU's resume below Penn State's.BYU deserved to be ranked higher based on their resume.
BYU's best win right now is over no. 13 SMU. That ranking is very significant, because as it currently stands, the Mustangs are one spot away from being in the CFP. So which is it? Because if scoring margin is being considered, Miami has needed three miracles to win three games this season. Is that passing the eye test?The four highest-ranked conference champions get the top four seeds in the CFP and the fifth highest-rated conference champion gets an automatic bid to the first round. It's most likely that the four Power Four champions will get those byes, but it is not guaranteed.
