Preseason rankings matter a lot less now in the playoff era.

It may effect your seeding but probably not whether you get in.

No doubt. Being ranked in the top 10 to start the year isn't as important but winning your conference is and it is a good thing for your conference to be recognized as the best or very good at least. TCU or Baylor may have had the best team in 2014 but were left out of the playoffs because the big 12 sucks. It could happen to an 11-1 LSU team in the future if the SEC continues to decline. Openly rooting for all conference teams to lose their OOC games just doesn't make sense to me.
