Miami wants things reconsidered. So does South Carolina. The Big 12 is puzzled. And Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin turned toward social media to ask the College Football Playoff committee a question. “You guys actually meet for days and come up with these rankings??” Kiffin wrote.

“I have confidence that things at the end will be viewed the way that they should be viewed,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “And who knows how that thing’s going to work out.”No. 10 Boise State returns to cusp of playoffs 14 years after heartbreaking loss to NevadaIt is not a term that the Hurricanes and Gamecocks, among others, are fond of.
“There’s a lot of data points that they apparently take in to make their decisions. But I’m not sure strength of schedule is one of them,” Beamer said. “I don’t know how you can go play Clemson last week, in the biggest game in the history of the Carolina-Clemson rivalry, win a game over a team that’s ranked higher than you and move up one spot. And another team can win a game over a team that’s not even going to a bowl game and move up two spots.
Another point Cristobal made: Alabama struggled at home with South Florida for three quarters before pulling away in the fourth. Miami went to South Florida and won by five touchdowns. And Miami also is puzzled why it dropped six spots in the CFP ranking after losing by four points at Syracuse while Ohio State fell only four spots after losing by three points at home to Michigan, where Manuel is the athletic director.
The five highest-ranked conference champions are guaranteed playoff spots, with the top four getting first-round byes. The current projected pairings would make the Big 12 champ the No. 12 seed playing a first-round game on the road.
