By Alex Zorn
Published:
The next set of College Football Playoff Rankings were released Tuesday night, and wouldn’t you know it, Big 12 fans aren’t happy about their conference once again getting no love from the Playoff Committee.

With only 140 characters you’d be surprised how creative these fans, and even some college football analysts, can get about voicing their displeasure on Twitter:
They pick the teams they think are the best and then work backward to justify what they did. Creates contradictions. https://t.co/Xnmi3vhDEL

Just a thought: If the Big 12 had 12 teams, 2 divisions and played good people out of conference would they need to "market?"

I'm convinced the CFB Playoff Committee has determined the BIG12 must eliminate either Baylor or Okla.St. as unbeaten before making Top 4.

OK, I'll toss this out: Does anyone think that Iowa beats Baylor head-to-head neutral field?

A big 12 team could beat Bama 1,000,000-0 and the CFPC would still put Bama in the top 4.

Expanding the Big 12 Conference won't change the College Football Playoff from being an ESPN Poll. Adding G5 bums will NOT help the Big 12.

So according the the CFPC both the PAC 12 AND the Big 12 will be left out IF ND wins out!

The biggest issue of concern around the nation is Notre Dame’s No. 4 spot. If the Fighting Irish win out, does its resume really beat a one-loss Big 12 team?
Notre Dame doesn’t have a better resume than Iowa right now. Not even debatable. https://t.co/RPLtYizzvq

Notre Dame’s best two wins, at least from the committee’s perspective, are Navy and Temple.

Real reason Notre Dame cracked the top 4 in the #CollegeFootballPlayoff poll this week?

Don’t assume it’s all the SEC’s fault. Alabama climbed, as expected from No. 4 to No. 2, but even a team from the strongest conference fell through the cracks in this week’s poll.

Fans of just about every team, 1 to 25 and above, can find some fault in the ranking. The problem is, in the end, only four teams make it.
I thought the College Football playoff poll was based on who is the hottest team? UNC at 23 is a big joke. We rolling winning 8 in a row now

@HomerUte Utes ranked in the college football playoff poll two weeks in a row, still seeking "a" National Championship.

The biggest surprise jump has to be Iowa, which went from No. 9 to No. 5, leapfrogging the entire Big 12. As it should be clear, Big 12 fans were not happy.
Iowa above Baylor AND Oklahoma State?
I give up.#CommitteeLogic— Pick Six Previews (@PickSixPreviews) November 11, 2015

It’s easy to overreact to what many believe to be is Big 12 injustice, but take a deep breath and realize that the rankings still have four more weeks until they are final. Plenty can, and will, happen in a month of football.
Though if you were expecting two Big 12 teams after last year’s omission, I’d reconsider where you see the conference among the Power 5 (and Notre Dame).
No point in getting upset over Iowa ranked ahead of Baylor. Big 10 gets 1 spot in playoff. If Iowa wins B1G title, they're in. If not, out.
