The playoff rankings are out, and the powers that be sent a very clear message.
The Good: Western Michigan is most likely going to the Cotton Bowl if they win out.
The Bad: Only 2 Group of 5 teams were ranked.
The Ugly: No matter what happens, WMU cannot make the playoffs.
Regardless of all the great match-ups and potential upsets, there is no way the Broncos can climb to the top from number 23. As an almost after-thought, The Committee put Boise State at 24. That was a bone to the G5, so us plebeians can know who gets the automatic bid for the Cotton Bowl, should the Broncos stumble.
