Ari Wasserman challenges George Wrighster’s college football rankings: if head-to-head matters for the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes, why doesn’t it settle USC vs Ohio State? The College Football Playoff debate gets a consistency test on The Unafraid Show.\n<\/p>\n
Ari and George dig into Alabama vs Tennessee Vols, SEC bias in the CFP rankings, strength of schedule and whether undefeated teams deserve priority over teams with better wins. Ari explains why preseason perceptions can shape the college football playoff rankings\u2014and why he still trusts the CFP committee to reach a fair conclusion at the end.<\/p>\n
Then comes the challenge: can anyone build a consistent Top 25? Ari puts George’s rankings under the microscope and weighs whether growing parity could eventually make a 24-team playoff necessary.<\/p>\n
Plus: Miami vs Notre Dame football and how injuries should affect playoff evaluations; Texas vs Missouri and Arch Manning; Kentucky vs Tennessee; Oregon Ducks vs Ohio State and Dan Lanning; Jeremiah Smith’s Heisman case; and what Georgia Bulldogs vs Ole Miss could reveal about the SEC.<\/p>\n
Should USC Trojans be above Ohio State? Should Tennessee be above Alabama? Tell us which ranking rule you would apply to EVERY team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
