I don’t understand Oklahoma’s position at #3…no NCs or wins in the CFP. Florida’s ranking at #7 is also questionable. They had a good run from 2005-2009, but that’s about it.

These use SP+ rankings over the last twenty years, which are essentially power ratings. They have less to do with on the field results than the quality of the team. A lot of years, a 7-5 SEC team will be top-15/20 team in SP+ rankings. They basically rank who’d be favored against who on a neutral field.

Oklahoma dominates ranking systems which do not take championships into account, because they're always highly ranked. They just never do anything noteworthy with those high rankings.

Because it's going by SP+
