Well Mid-American Conference fans, it was a familiar narrative when the College Football Playoff committee released its newest rankings on Tuesday night. Cowardice again prevailed as the committee took substantial measures to ensure that undefeated #21 Western Michigan (11-0, 7-0) was left out of the conversation to determine college football’s top team.
Not all teams were so unlucky though. Many were ranked laughably high, a clear message that the NCAA’s top brands will be well represented when the College Football Playoff gets underway on December 31st. We’ll likely be deprived of a satisfying conclusion to the college football season, but you’ll be treated to familiar faces before you nod off in front of the television or flip to a Shark Tank marathon.
