Today is a scary day for college football fans — and not just because it’s Halloween, and babies might be masquerading around town as your favorite coach.
No, today is a little bit terrifying because it’s the day of this season’s first College Football Playoff rankings release. Which means, yes, your team could be ranked lower than you believe it should be, and you’ll be angry about it. And even if your team is nowhere near the Playoff picture, you might have plenty of reasons for outrage. It’s likely that two SEC teams will be in the selection committee’s top four and a team (Oklahoma) with a head-to-head win against another (Ohio State) is ranked below that opponent.
