The Liberty Flames were not included in the latest College Football Playoff rankings rankings despite being ranked in the top 20 in both the AP Poll and the AFCA Coaches poll.
Boo Corrigan is the College Football Playoff Selection Committee chair, as well as the Athletic Director at NC State. Corrigan was asked twice about the Flames during the committee’s weekly teleconference following the reveal of this week’s rankings. Those answers are below.
A lot of folks here are asking about the Liberty Flames. Obviously they won just knocking off Arkansas. Was there any discussion about Liberty being in as one of the top 25 this week, and given their strength of schedule, is there any avenue for them to get into the top 25?
