Playoff Ratings vs Rankings

[raulduke_007]

Was talking to a few friends about the playoffs and my buddy made a good point that he thinks the seeding will have more to do with ratings then actual rankings. He thinks if ND is a 5 or 6 seed that they will put in a SEC team in 11 or 12 spot like Bama because the ratings will be too good to pass up. I know playoff com. would never admit but im starting to think that more realistic possibilty than before.

Everything goes the way of money. But I think the 12 seed has to go to a G5 school.

Boise st slated for 4th spot right now.

IMO Oregon is the 5 if they lose the Big 10 title game to Ohio St. And an 11-1 Penn State could very well be the 6.

Lots of moving parts.

I would think their goal if they cared about ratings would be to get ND past the 1st round and give them an easier matchup rd 1

Lots of ways to look at it
