The College Football Playoff selection committee ranked teams for the first time in the era of an expanded field. We discuss:

* The possibility of a Big 12 doomsday scenario

* Whether the Group of 5 might have an actual breakthrough this year

* How the committee’s philosophy appears to have shifted (and not shifted) now that it’s gone from ranking for a four-team field to a 12-team field

* The weirdest outcomes that remain on the table
