Twitter reacts to second College Football Playoff rankings
When it comes to Michigan football being ranked No. 3 in the second iteration of the College Football Playoff rankings, there was little surprise.
The Wolverines are one spot behind rival Ohio State, but the two programs are set on a collision course in three weeks, so everything will work itself out. Win, and you’re likely in.
Last week, there was a fair share of controversy, given that the maize and blue were ranked No. 5, despite having dominated nearly every opponent, with Clemson — a team that struggled on a weekly basis — a spot ahead. Essentially, there’s no controversy this week, given that the Tigers lost, as had Tennessee.

I don't understand Ohio State at No. 2. https://t.co/oOEc7LGBVs

They got it right this week.
OSU and U-M are 2a and 2b. Doesn't matter because they will play each other to sort it out. https://t.co/YpTtTYZ7ae

I have no issues with the current top 6/7 teams. You could make a case for Michigan ahead of Ohio State, but that's about it.

NY6 based on today’s rankings:
Peach semi: Georgia-TCU
Fiesta semi: OhioSt-Michigan
Sugar: Tennessee-Texas
Rose: Oregon-Penn State
Orange: LSU-Clemson
Cotton: Tulane-USC— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) November 9, 2022

The only question tonight for Michigan was whether the Wolverines would jump Ohio State in the CFP rankings, not that it matters. Either way, hard to see how it’s not No. 2 vs. No. 3 on Nov. 26 in Columbus.

Tennessee at No. 5 is in a very, very good position. Ohio State/Michigan will knock each other out. TCU could stumble. If Georgia wins the SEC, I think Tennessee’s chances of getting in (if they win out) are very good.
