UNLV is still only a 4 point underdog vs. Boise St. I would not put it past them to pull this off. IMHO this would be monumental. In the past 25 years they have had 4 winning records, two of which are this year and last. They have never been ranked in the final AP season rankings, they have only been ranked a total of four weeks in the history of the program, and are now potentially one win away from the 12 team playoff. I think that this says a lot for coach Barry Odom and the new transfer rules. Go Rebs! https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/nevada-las-vegas/index.html
 

OK State nooooooooo

though this one is cheating because it's post GTech beating FSU those 2 have to be the biggest disappoints of the year though AZ and Oklahoma have to be up there as well
 



I appreciate it, thanks. Here's how my preason seedings (August 4) for the CFP looked:

#1 Georgia (will make it)
#2 Ohio State (will make it)
#3 Florida State (BOMBED)
#4 Kansas State (NOPE)
#5 Alabama (might make it)
#6 Texas (will make it)
#7 Oregon (will make it)
#8 Notre Dame (will make it)
#9 Penn State (will make it)
#10 Clemson (in with a win)
#11 LSU (NOPE)
#12 Boise State (in with a win, longshot with a loss)

In fairness, as of today I only have 2 of the first 4 out:

Ole Miss, Miami, Tennessee (will make it), Oklahoma State (OOPS)

How in the world did you not forsee Indiana going 11-1 to make it into the Field of 12?!?

😉
 

When 50% (or more - and this is pulled out of my behind) of a team’s ranking placement is name brand value, conference affiliation and past performance rather than strictly wins/losses these are hard to get totally wrong but there were still some big misses.

Hoping for playoff chaos.
