The conference championship weekend is fast approaching on the school football scene.
Although only 4 groups will participate in school football playoffs, many groups are still in the combined to participate in various conventions. While it is a guarantee that the CCA and SEC will host at least one team, the Big Ten and Pac -12 playoff opportunities are on edge, when the Big 12 is already gone. Here is the weekly rating of the convention force in the run-up to week 14.
Although the Pac-12 was not mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, having only 3 groups ranked in the 25 most sensitive of the most recent playoff positions is not a good omen for West Coast football. Although the Pac-12 won a team this week at the Washington Huskies No. 22, USC Trojans No. 20 had a canceled game and the Oregon Ducks lost to No. 23 in the general classification.
For now, it turns out that only the Pac-12 champion will get an invitation to the Six Bowl on New Year’s Eve, as the Rose Bowl is part of the national semi-finals of this year’s school football playoffs, I have to settle for the Fiesta Bowl opposite the Big Ten moment team or something. Playing the fewest games on power five hurts the Pac-12 here.
The Big 12 beats the Pac-12 by the back of the barrel in those ratings for several reasons. Although the Big 12 is the Power Five convention that is less likely to take a single team to the playoffs, it has the same number of qualifying groups. as the Pac-12 and the 3 groups are ranked ahead of the 2nd most sensitive pac-12. Better yet, two are in the 10 most sensitive and the 3 are in the 15th most sensitive or better.
Leading the way, the Iowa State Cyclones No. nine with the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners only them. Although the Oklahoma State Cowboys are quite out of the mix, they are still located at No. 1 five in general. The championship game between Iowa State and Oklahoma will be the Power Five Conference at the New Year’s Six at the Cotton Bowl Classic.
The school football playoff variety committee has done the Ohio State Buckeyes a favor in their rankings at the moment by keeping them in the 4 most sensitive, despite only four games this season. Ohio State can’t cancel a third game this season if the Buckeyes need to play in the fight by the name of the convention. As long as they get there and win, they’ll be part of the four-team squad.
Interestingly, the Big Ten have the highest number of groups ranked among the 25 most sensitive in last week’s playoff rankings in five. Joining the Buckeyes in the 25 most sensitive are the Indiana Hoosiers No. 12, Northwest Wildcats No. 14, Wisconsin Badgers No. 16 and Iowa Hawkeyes No. 19 Although only the Buckeyes have a chance to qualify for the playoffs, they still feel they are in the playoffs.
Will the CCA usurp the SEC once everything is said and done?Potentially, because the CCA has the most productive possibility of any Power Five convention to take two groups to the field of four teams. The Irishman beats the unventurned Syracuse Orange at home on Saturday, qualifying for the playoffs no matter what happens in the ACC championship game.
As for the No. 3 Clemson Tigers, they will have to win their next two games, adding the ACC Championship game opposed to Notre Dame. Fortunately for the Tigers, they are expected to defeat the Golden Domers in an impartial rematch. As for the rest of the ACC, Miami’s Hurricanes No. 10 are necessarily a blockade to ensure that 3 groups get New Year’s invitations to the Six Bowl.
The SEC maintains the most sensible place in this week’s convention strength ratings for 3 reasons: first, it has 4 groups ranked among the eight most sensitive; two, up to 3 groups still have the chance to reach the playoffs; and third, the SEC has team No. 1 in the country at Alabama Crimson Tide. It seems that 4 SEC groups will also get invitations for the six New Year bowls.
After No. 1 Alabama comes the No. 5 Texas A
So how does the CCA outperform the SEC? It’s pretty simple: if Notre Dame beats Clemson and Florida beats Alabama, the ACC will take first place; if Alabama beats Florida and Clemson beats Notre Dame, that may also be enough, as the ACC will have sent two groups to the playoffs. , while the SEC would only have one, provided that Texas A
It will be desirable to see how the last weeks of the 2020 school football season unfold.
