College Football Rankings: Debut Playoff rankings for the 2020 season revealed
The first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2020 season have just been released during a Tuesday evening reveal show on ESPN.
To no one’s surprise, Alabama ranks as the Playoff committee’s No. 1 team in the debut College Football Playoff rankings.
Outside of the Crimson Tide, the Southeastern Conference has two additional contenders to make the College Football Playoff as Texas A&M and Florida rank just outside the top four spots in the initial rankings.
In total, the SEC has five teams ranked in the debut College Football Playoff ranking.
This season’s Playoff Semifinals are set to take place Friday, January 1, 2021, at the Rose Bowl Game and the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
The College Football Playoff National Championship is set to be played Monday, January 11, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
Here are the initial College Football Playoff rankings:
No issues. Solid
I am surprised that Georgia is still in the top 10
Agreed, after this weekend idk how you call Georgia a top 10 team
How do they have Allbarn in the top 25 with the phantom wins? After this week you’ll be out of it.
Who cares, Auburn’s ranked where they should be considering. But give one good reason Georgia’s sorry excuse for a team with the talent they have should be in the top 10. Y’all talk about Auburn when UGA is consistently a top recruiting class but can’t do anything with it but choke and then y’all have the nerve to talk about Gus developing talent. UGA is a joke and will always be on the outside looking in on the playoffs.
Auburn shouldn’t be ranked. The Tiggers annually underperform their preseason expectations. This year is no different. Recruiting rankings don’t mean anything when it comes to the polls. You’re stuck with Gus’s contract and Bo Nix. Enjoy!!!!
UGAgrad, Auburn has finished ranked higher in 3 of the last 5 seasons when looking at their preseason ranking compared to only 1 of the last 5 seasons for UGA. It seems like UGA underperform’s for often than Auburn.
I’m calling BS on that beachbum. Post up the numbers.
Clearly recruiting rankings down mean anything when it comes to the polls. All those top 3 recruiting classes and nothing to show for it..
UGAgrad, do your own research. It took me 2 minutes to find that information. You can do it, after all, you’re an UGA grad.
Beachbum is like CNN. Post the facts.
In the last 5 years Auburn has finished higher than their initial ranking in 2019, 2017 and 2016. 2015 and 2018 they finished worse.
In their last 5 years UGA has finished higher than their initial ranking in only 2017. 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 they finished worse.
UGA grad can’t do any work or research for himself. Wants everything spoon fed to him.
Right you are WDE. Probably took you what…2 minutes to find that information?
A whole 2 min.. it was very hard. I can imagine why he wouldn’t want to do it. Lots of effort..
It looks like UGA grad is the one with the fake news with zero facts.
I googled it Beachbum. I didn’t find sites with complete start and end of year details. But what I did find is that Allbarn started the year way behind where UGA was, usually in the top 5, and you Bama wannabes wound up a couple of years a few spots ahead of your 14th or 12th ranking starting rank. Malzahn continues to meet Auburns mediocre expectations.
*post facts*
*doesn’t like facts posted and goes on off topic rant*
Typical..
I would not want to trade.
13 to 3. Allbarn is UGA’s b!tch. I hope Malzahn stays. He’s a great coach.
All those wins vs Auburn and yet.. 1980. Congrats!
Also love the fact that you’re bragging about beating auburn so much after calling them mediocre.. lol
Ok. Wde. Allbarn versus UGA is not mediocre. You guys suck. Instead of buying gifts for the family at Christmas maybe you guys should contribute to the Malzahn buyout GoFundMe. Malzahn started it himself. LMAO.
So we suck and your bragging about beating us? Congrats again. Kirby is Richt 2.0 and has the same accomplishments as Malzahn in a less talented division but go off..
Lame comeback. Come on man.
You didn’t like those facts either lol
That was pure opinion. Like CNN. Lame.
Kirby – NC loss, 1-2 SECCG record.
Gus – NC loss, 1-1 SECCG record.
And the West is definitely tougher than the East. All facts.
Years in place? CNN man. Come on. Allbarn is UGA’s b!tch. Just admit it.
Both have those accomplishments the first five years.
But I thought we sucked? So you’re bragging about beating a team that sucks? Do you brag about beating Vandy too?
Reposting as I missed the original thread.
Wde, what you state just shows that Malzahn has done nothing in his last 5 yaers. He has been a head coach twice as long as Kirby. I like my chances with Kirby. A former Dawg two time All-SEC performer and he lives and breathes UGA football. He recruits as well as anyone in the country. He’s 44 years old. Where was Saban and Dabo at 44 and in their 5th year as a head coach? Do yourself a favor and put your Christmas money in the Malzahn buyout fund. Not that I don’t want to see him hang around.
What has Kirby done in his first 5 seasons that Malzahn didn’t do?
Finished in the Top 10 3 times, won more games, was not 1-4 in Bowl games…….
Has also only finished better than his initial poll position one time.. but congrats on all the top ten finishes. Should sit pretty next to that 40 year old trophy of yalls.
You’re better than that. But, if that’s your response, then enjoy your fall into the abyss again. Have a good day.
You as well. All those top recruiting classes and nothing to show for it. What a shame.
Just curious, when is Auburn going to hire someone who can recruit?
Wait I thought top ten was good?
Here’s a fact. The inbreeding of the last several centuries is having the same effect on intelligence in Georgia now, as it was in 1980, the last time Georgia was relevant in football.
JTF… I see you got caught.
In breeding in Georgia? Obviously you’re self-projecting. There’s a lot of truth to the old joke about the family tree for Bamites doesn’t have any branches.
The Great State of Alabama… 49th or 50th in everything that matters except for football. Congrats.
Completely agree. Also, Indiana should be much higher.

Idk about solid. I take issue with Georgia’s and Oklahoma’s standing.
Was really referring with 1-8
Looks good to me. Glad they didn’t reward BYU for playing an all creampuff schedule.
What happens if North Carolina beats Notre Dame? Would that not diminish both ND and Clemson?
I would have to think so given UNC’s current and acurate ranking. Sure would throw a wrench in any hopes for two ACC teams in the playoff.
If so, does that means UGA gets in?
LOL
It was the P5 conferences like the SEC going conference only who wrecked their schedule in the first place. They’re not a playoff team but still deserve NY6 consideration for sure. They’re destroying everyone they play.
Top 8 should be Al, Clemson, OSU, ND, Fl, A&M, Cinci and BYU. Who cares what 9-25 are, really? They ALL have major flaws. Thank gosh for a season !
Well being a Clemson fan I really must say im also a huge fan of Coastal Carolina and I think they have played better than Georgia and would probably beat them right now my tigers would smoke Georgia man Indiana should be ranked ahead of Georgia why do Georgia always get the benefit of the doubt but my tigers just get criticized smh
I see that whiny attitude of Dabo’s is contagious.
Georgia has had a very solid schedule and the only two losses are to two of the best teams in the nation. I don’t see any teams ranked below them that I think would have a good probability of beating them.
not to mention that only the top 6 or so have a real playoff spot so none of the rankings after that even matter
“shot” not “spot”
Finished in the Top 10 3 times, won more games, was not 1-4 in Bowl games…….
meant to post above*
Louisiana Ragin Cajuns (7-1) beat #13 Iowa State and played even with #20 Coastal Carolina before losing by a FG. Should be ranked somewhere in there.
