The TRUTH Behind College Football Playoff Rankings HARD PASS Ep. #66

College football fans have to STOP complaining. Every year, fans of teams like Miami, BYU, Notre Dame, and whoever else gets snubbed in the rankings act shocked but THIS is how college football has always worked!

Doug Kezirian breaks down why College Football is the most inefficient sport in America, why losses usually matter more than wins, and why Miami and BYU don’t actually have the case their fans think they do. Strength of schedule, style points, randomness, politics … it’s always been baked into the DNA of CFB.

Doug explains why Notre Dame is ranked ahead of Miami despite the head-to-head, why BYU is stuck behind multiple 2-loss teams, why the Committee works the way it does, and why certain fan bases need to stop crying about hypotheticals and just WIN.
