A 2nd-grade class could produce what the committee did tonight:
Teams ranked 1-5:  0 losses
Teams ranked 6-13:  1 loss
Teams ranked 14-23:  2 losses

It's almost like they reward winners and punish losers

Rewards OOC schedules like Michigan's.

Michigan has been far and away the most impressive team statistically, even though their schedule blows. They would be favored against OSU on a neutral field right now. Always a test of how to balance those things. Personally, I'd put Georgia #1 because I subscribe to the Ric Flair rule.

Yes yes I know I'm not paying enough attention to recruiting rankings. But I think Georgia is fine there too.

I think we here know the only important thing in first week CFP rankings.  And it's not all that important.

But imagine they came out with rankings that had a 0 loss P5 team ranked 10th and a 2 loss team ranked 2nd.  Would that be any "better"?  

If a team has not played any 'ranked teams' yet, should they be penalized for beating mediocre teams decisively?
