The Cougars now sit at 10-0, after their win over the University of Memphis Tigers. They’re one of five undefeated teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the only undefeated team in Texas…and still ranked just 19 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Some fans are confused as to how one of only five undefeated teams in the entire nation could be ranked so low.
To understand that, you have to understand the College Football Playoff committee, the 12-person board which decides the CFP Rankings, and, eventually, who gets spots in the playoffs.
Now, I won’t begin to pretend that I understand all the inner workings and criteria the committee uses to rank the teams.
