The final College Football Playoff rankings will be released Sunday, setting the 12-team field to compete for the national championship. Earlier in the day, CBS Sports college football pundit Danny Kanell took to his X account to point a finger at what he views is the biggest problem surrounding the CFP field.
“We’re all arguing about Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame and overlooking that TWO groups of 5 schools are occupying spots when they have zero business playing in it this year,” Kanell said, making reference to Troy and James Madison. “What a mess.”
Kanell’s point is that both the Green Wave and Dukes play far inferior schedules than do teams like the Hurricanes, Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish. Tulane (11-2), which nipped North Texas to win the American Conference title, was hammered by Ole Miss 45-10 on Sept. 20. And 12-1 James Madison, which won the Sun Belt by defeating Troy, lost 28-14 to Louisville in its lone attempt against a Power 4 team.
Yet because both the Green Wave and Dukes were ranked above ACC champ/5-loss Duke heading into the weekend, both teams are destined to be slotted into the final 2 at-large CFP spots.
The final College Football Playoff rankings will be announced Sunday, starting at noon ET on ESPN.
We’re all arguing about Miami, Alabama, Notre Dame and overlooking that TWO groups of 5 schools are occupying spots when they have zero business playing in it this year. Tulane lost 45-10 to Ole Miss. JMU only played ONE P4 school and lost by 14.What a mess
