The CFP rankings — and 'data points' — have left Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina puzzled
Miami wants things reconsidered
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Miami wants things reconsidered. So does South Carolina. The Big 12 is puzzled. And Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin turned toward social media to ask the College Football Playoff committee a question.
“You guys actually meet for days and come up with these rankings??” Kiffin wrote.
The fallout and, for some, anger stemming from the release of the latest CFP ranking — one that almost certainly means Miami (10-2), South Carolina (9-3) and Ole Miss (9-3) all have no chance of getting into the 12-team field — continued Wednesday as the schools on the outside looking in continued making their case, even though all hope for them seems to be gone.
Alabama (9-3) would be in as the final at-large selection, for now. Miami would be the first team left on the outside looking in, and the Hurricanes are hoping the selectors take another look at their case — even though CFP committee chair Warde Manuel insisted they would not.
