The penultimate 2022 College Football Playoff rankings that will be revealed Tuesday night are likely to look as such:
Perhaps Georgia and Michigan are swapped — the Wolverines' best wins are better than the Bulldogs' best wins. Or perhaps it's Alabama, based on two close road losses, that sits at No. 5, above Ohio State,If the top four are Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC, then committee chairman Boo Corrigan should make a simple declaration.
That said, there is an undeniable intellectual and logic-based argument that the top four should remain the top four no matter if they lose next weekend. Of course, it is painfully dangerous to try to apply logic or intellectual arguments to college football, which is far more into the “football” part than the “college” part.After 12 weeks, the top four teams are the top four teams — Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC.
To do so would be to punish USC for winning its division and playing for a conference title. It would place an undue, and extra burden on the Trojans. Or it would be fair to consider a 13th game if one of the playoff teams wasn’t playing a 12th game — that was a factor in the early playoff days for Big 12 teams, which was forced to add a championship game to avoid being punished by the committee for playing just 12.The season is over for any team outside the top four with any possible claim on top-four status.
In 2017, however, the committee reversed precedent and moved 11-1 Alabama from 5th to 4th when previous No. 4 Wisconsin entered the Big Ten title game at 12-0 but lost. The Badgers were penalized for playing an extra game.
