Below is the College Football (CFB) Playoff (PO) Committee's initial Top 25 for the 2026 season.The best news for OBD fans: Oregon is ranked 23rd and would be in a 24-team PO field. (See below.) No. 24 Florida would be knocked out by No. 25 Boise State.In this season's 12-team PO field, No. 12 Ohio State would be knocked out by Boise State. No. 4 Indiana and No. 8 UCLA would be in the 12-team field. SEC teams: No. 2 Georgia, No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Kentucky, No. 7 Texas, and No. 10 Ole Miss would be in. ---A few thoughts from me, and please post your thoughts.UCLA is 8-0. Utah is 8-0. UCLA is ranked 3rd in Strength of Record (SOR) and 77th in Strength of Schedule (SOS). Utah is ranked 5th in SOR and 83rd in SOS.In the committee's first Top 25, UCLA is ranked 8th. Utah is ranked 3rd.--- October 10, 2026 - 6-2 Tennessee 26, 6-2 Alabama 10.Alabama is ranked 5th. Tennessee is ranked 13th.Alabama can't catch a PO break, right? 🤪---Week 1 - Texas defeats Ohio State in Austin 24 to 23. 6-2 Texas is ranked 7th. Texas lost at home to No. 24 Florida and to not ranked Oklahoma in Dallas. Texas's best win: No. 10 Ole Miss in Austin.No. 12 6-2 Ohio State's other loss was on the road against No. 20 USC. Ohio State's best win: No. 4 Indiana in Bloomington. ---No. 4 7-1 Indiana, SOS 31.No. 12 6-2 Ohio State, SOS 10.Committee: Ohio State, you should have played three cupcakes out of conference like your Hoosier friends. That way, you'd be 7-1 with a win over the Hoosiers and, perhaps, ranked higher than today? Ohio State: But we beat Indiana on their home field and ended a 22-game winning streak. Committee: Yeah, but your starting QB is hurt; that's why you are ranked 12th.Ohio State: But Indiana's starting QB is also hurt, and we defeated Indiana! Committee: Indiana's QB being hurt is irrelevant because Indiana has one more win than you do. But please, keep on playing those marquee out-of-conference games. In the long offseason, it gives us something to look forward to.🤬🤬🤬! ... Thank goodness the PO is expanding to 24 teams. Here's what a 24-team PO field would be. 1st- and 2nd-round games played on campus. No. 1 Miami vs. No. 24 Boise State at No. 9 BYU No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 23 Oregon at No. 10 Ole Miss No. 3 Utah vs. No. 22 Arizona at No. 11 Notre Dame No. 4 Indiana vs. No. 21 South Carolina at No. 12 Ohio State No. 5 Alabama vs. No. 20 USC at No. 13 TennesseeNo. 6 Kentucky vs. No. 19 Iowa at No. 14 LSUNo. 7 Texas vs. No. 18 Missouri at No. 15 Texas Tech No. 8 UCLA vs. No. 17 Houston at No. 16 Wake Forest --- In 2024 and in 2025, three teams ranked in the committee's initial top 12 did not make the PO field.Straight off the Grapevine, CFB PO committee rankings, where you can find Logic on life support.On3College Football Playoff Top 25: First official 2026 CFP....
1 hour ago1 hr Administrator No. Jon...you're the greatest with these posts. At Ole Miss would be quite a game....UCLA's schedule is so incredibly weak....and they caught us at a bad time. The committee is so corrupt... Mr. OBD
10 minutes ago10 min No. Would Utah really beat 4 through 12 on a neutral field? I haven't watched them, but if they lose to BYU are they going to drop to like 15 or just few spots like an SEC team? It feels like some of these rank are playing 13 dimensional chess.Us at 23 is lining us up to make the playoffs if we win out IMO.
