Pre-season rankings for College Football and Basketball just don't matter. None of the teams have played a game yet and nobody knows anything. Similarly, it could be said for the first CFP rankings last night that Michigan showed up as #5. For example, MSU was in the top 4 this time last year. How is that even possible?
The only thing the CFP standings are good for is a little insight into what the overpaid committee is thinking. Everything will be worked out prior to the final rankings. For example:
- #1 Tennesse plays #3 Georgia this weekend
- #5 Michigan will play #2 OSU later this month
- The SEC Championship game will have Tenn/GA vs.
