Summary
The Cover 3 crew breaks down the updated CFP rankings and talks playoff chase. First, what the committee saw in placing TCU ahead of Tennessee (2:00), why Clemson’s ranking was higher than where the Tigers fell in the AP poll (5:09), whether Notre Dame should be penalized for its bad losses (6:30) and if LSU has a real shot at making the playoff (9:30). Then, how Michigan overcomes a lack of quality wins with a well-balanced statistical profile (12:43), where Group of Five teams fell in the rankings (18:23) and one of the biggest head-scratchers being the separation between USC and UCLA (23:04). Plus, stacking up the three-loss teams like Texas and Kentucky (28:00) and the teams that likely just missed the cut for the top 25 (31:35).
