So I have a question about the rankings...

In 2014 week 9 the AP Poll had...
1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Alabama
4. Auburn
and Ole miss was ranked 7th
The Coaches Poll had
1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Alabama
4. Auburn
and Ole Miss was ranked 9th
The CFP poll came out for the first time that week and had...
1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Auburn
4. Ole Miss
and Alabama was ranked 6th
So, doesn't this kinda blow a hole in that Alabama Media Darling Theory of why they got put in the top 4?

Ole Miss and Auburn were playing that weekend. Eerily similar to what is happening this week with Bama v. LSU.
Have no issue with the rankings. They're generating excitement and driving revenue.

You have a good point. And the rankings do not matter until the last ones.
If ... And it's a big if.... Bama wins out as well as Ole miss.... As well as.....
Any other P5 champion and or ND having 1 loss or less... They are both out.
But I think it plays out , and hopefully it does, BAMA/LSU winner wins out as well as UF, so winner of SECCG is pretty much a guaranteed 1-3 seed.

And here's the actual AP site's poll from 2014, week 9:
https://collegefootball.ap.org/poll/2014/9
Clearly shows Ole Miss was #3 in AP and Auburn was #5.
CFP ranked Auburn #3 and Ole Miss #4.

Weeeellll, sorta kinda yes and no.
Ole Miss was ranked higher in the CFBP poll at that juncture last year largely because of their victory over Bama.
But, this year right now, there are a lot more teams that feel they can lay claim to or deserve the #4 spot over Bama, (or at least be ranked a lot higher than they are now...) than at this point last year.
And Bama got a big bump by having 1 first place vote also...
