Twitter reacts to second edition of the CFP rankings
The Georgia Bulldogs are the No. 1 team in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings. Georgia controlled the previous top-ranked team in the CFP rankings, Tennessee, in Week 10. The Bulldogs (9-0) also have a dominant win over Oregon.
Week 10 featured a pair of underdogs defeating highly-ranked CFP foes. LSU upset Alabama and Notre Dame dominated Clemson. TCU, Michigan, Oregon, and Ohio State all continue to win. Michigan-Ohio State game, which is scheduled for the last week of the regular season, could be one of the best games in rivalry history.

Either way, if Tennessee wins out, it's probably in the CFP.
And if TCU wins out, it's probably in the CFP.

How a 12-team CFP would look now
Using the CFP's rankings, here's how an expanded playoff would look using the adopted format:
(1) 6 highest-ranked champs get AQs
(2) next 6 highest-ranked teams get At-Larges
(3) byes to top 4 conference champs
(4) 1st round at better seed pic.twitter.com/FqbNzu69MY— Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) November 9, 2022
