I'm sorry what? He's got FSU in there and they are currently ranked 23.

If you aren't a conference winner or you aren't top 12 you shouldn't be there. Hell, there are two other ACC teams that he didn't put in who are ranked higher in Wake and NC State.

Yeah, to be honest, I don't really understand it either. It looks like he's using scheduling as his reasoning.

quote:
We are using the exact model CFP executives adopted last month. The 12-team model features automatic qualifiers to the six highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large selections to the next six highest-ranked teams.

Several teams lost their spots in the field from last week—Arkansas, Kentucky, App State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and NC State.

The Cowboys, Wolfpack and Wildcats didn’t lose, but were leaped by a few teams based on results and schedules. Keep in mind the committee is cognizant of how teams win and the teams they beat. Schedules are of utmost importance.
