CFP execs reveal two key reasons Ohio State ahead of Georgia in initial rankings
ATHENS — Ohio State was ranked ahead of Georgia in the first CFP Rankings, but the Bulldogs would be seeded higher than the Buckeyes in the 12-team playoffs if the season ended today.

Lmao.…sounds like another word salad of mealy mouthed double talk...like the unimaginative and incompetent rationalization the Committee used to leave UGA out of the playoff, last year.
Not to mention the obvious perpetual desire to keep either Michigan, Penn St, USC, Notre Dame &/or OSU relevant.....despite what you see on the field. Records and statistics can be manipulated & rationalized to support any argument you want to make.....especially, if you hype those Programs 90% greater than any other. Who's paying for this PR support? Lol
@MikeGriffith....like you said…at the end of the day, the hype and CFP ranking don't really matter, at this point. Still a lot of football to play. And, that includes Penn St and OSU. Neither of whom, are any stronger than half the SEC. I suspect Vandy could beat either or both, soundly [not luck]…if they played em.
If OSU is as good as advertised....they'll get a chance to prove it, under the new 12 team format. Just for the record…i haven't seen a team out there, with the level of talented depth the Dawgs have….right now.
They didn't start the season that way, either. Kirby has steadily and patiently built a Cadre of assassins on the defensive side the ball. Ya gotta score to win....and, Kirby can drag out the pain for any offense. I like our chances. Lol
Go Big Red…get yours!
Alabama lost to Vanderbilt. In what world should Alabama EVER lose to Vanderbilt. It is the bad loss of bad losses. It's almost displaying..
I must have been mistaken…..strength of schedule was going to count….the jokes on me, Oregon and TOS played one legit game, The Ducks won by one. The remainder of their schedule have been cupcakes….Michigan, Penn St you must be delusional….BUT HEY, The Dawgs #3, no better place to start our ascension to National Champion! Of the first 5 teams, The Dawgs are the only team to play two ranked opponents….Texas takes only one, TAM…..GOOOO DAWGS, SICEM WOOF WOOF WOOF……..HIKE A LEG!
BTY…..It took a Michigan moron to think the TOS win over Penn St as worthy….what a joke, PS has no QB or HC.
Total BS- Ohio State should have lost to Nebraska and getting very tired of imbeciles running these rankings.
@BigDawg61
The pollsters don't need to keep Michigan and Ohio State relevant when Michigan won the 2023 national title and Ohio State only barely lost the 2022 national title because of a combination of UGA knocking Ohio State's best player out of the game with a questionable hit to the head halfway through - people who claim that the zebras are always biased against UGA are nuts because it would have been very easy to eject the DB for targeting (the same was assessed against Dan Jackson against Texas for way less) and give Ohio State a 1st down on the 1 yard line - and terrible late game management by Ryan Day causing what would have been a game winning field goal to be just a few yards too long. Ohio State also won the 2014 title, which is more recent than any Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, FSU, Miami national title. Sorry but that is a bad take.
@Petesdawgs Ohio State should have lost to Nebraska? Have we forgotten UGA 13 Kentucky 12?
@GtheGreek
UGA's legitimate games are against Clemson (2 losses and beaten no one), Texas (beaten no one) and Alabama (loss). UGA will get to claim schedule supremacy only after beating Ole Miss and Tennessee back to back. As for Texas, their best win this season is Vanderbilt. Of course, it isn't their fault that Michigan and Oklahoma are way down this year, but Michigan being down hurts Oregon and Ohio State too. At the end of the day, the Big 10 isn't the SEC, but it isn't the ACC or Big 12 either. The Big 10 was clearly the 2nd best conference BEFORE they added Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA. That's the crazy thing: the Big 10 didn't do like the ACC by adding traditionally bad Stanford and Cal plus the #7 football school in Texas in SMU. They added 3 good traditional football programs, plus UCLA who is a bit higher than Georgia Tech level. That doesn't get them to SEC level, but they are still not going to have any problems being looked favorably on by the playoff committee.
Translation……..The reason we are not ahead of Ohio State is we have a miserable QB in Beck. I wish CKS would bench him but he won't.
It is easy to be consistent playing a big10 schedule. Give me a break
Number two is sort of relevant (we haven't been consistent, and that hasn't had much to do with who we were playing, but rather how we played them), but, come on… Number one was a bogus answer, and we all know it.
They thought enough of Georgia losing to Alabama to make them #1 after the loss.
It’s not our fault that Oregon or Ohio doesn’t have to play Vandy.
Wait…did I really just type that???
”Questionable hit to the head”? Really?
Tell me you’re not actually a Dawgs fan without telling me you’re not really a Dawgs fan…
