College Football Playoff 2024 projections: Indiana hangs on as Alabama, Ole Miss fall out - The Athletic

I only cite this because some of these first round games would be pretty epic:

Tennessee at Penn State

SMU at Texas

Boise State at Ohio State

Indiana at Notre Dame  

I'd watch all I could manage.

They have 1-4 going to Oregon/UGA/Miami/Iowa State, which is a guess as good as any.

If all those SEC upsets didn't happen, SMU and IU would be out of the playoff right now.

Easier to be set in your ways if you never expose yourself to other people.

Is it funny because it goes against the consensus or because of a real reason?

I like to combine the safe, consensus rankings (Oregon 1 because they haven't lost, etc) with the SOS-heavy models (Bama and UGA really high).  Here's a ranking that combines Massey's 2 of these types:
1 OSU
2 Georgia
3 Oregon
4 Texas
5 Bama
6 ND
7 Penn St
8 Miss
9 Tenn
drop off
10 Clemson
11 Indiana
12 Carolina
13 Miami
14 OU
15 Iowa St
16 A&M
17 LSU
18 SMU
19 Kansas St
20 Michigan
drop off
21 Florida
22 BYU
23 USC
24 Mizzou
25 Iowa
26 Louisville
