2020: 2 (Alabama and Ohio St*)
Couple of notable teams left out:
2014 - Baylor and TCU got left out, both at 11-1 and Big XII One True Champion co-champs
2016 - Western Michigan was 13-0
2018 - Ohio St and Oklahoma were both 12-1 conference champs. Three undefeated teams, so someone was going to be left out. Only time a one loss P5 Champ was left out of the CFP.
2020 - Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina and San Jose St were all undefeated.
Honestly, I'm so over Cincinnati being shoved down our throats by the media. I will be rooting against them every Saturday this fall
There’s definitely going to be some epic meltdowns after the first loss of it isn’t to Oklahoma. I think some people look at the lopsided wins at the end of the year on teams dealing with COVID breakouts and think that’s how the whole season will look.
Outside of Kansas State what other team had issues? Texas and WVU had virtually none.
Didn't Baylor have issues a couple times? We got them at full strength but I swear I remember them having Covid issues.
The disrespect they show OSU every year in the rankings is insane. How are they not in the Top 25.
WVU definitely was dealing with COVID maybe not to the extent of Kstate though. I’m glad we won against Texas but to call their play calling questionable in the 4th would be generous.
Apparently being a top 40 passer last year when you are missing some of your best receivers for most of the year isn't good enough even when you can rely on one of the top backs in all of football.
College Football 2021: Overrated, Underrated teams in the AP Top 25 | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF
Highlighting the over and underrated teams on the 2021 AP Top 25. Oregon and Iowa State headline the overrated programs, while the AP Poll is vastly underrating Ole Miss and Nevada.www.pff.com
Iowa State listed as an overrated team. we'll see a lot of this i'm sure. mentions Purdy inconsistency as their reason for not fully believing. can't argue a ton with that.
but i love that we are starting top 10, cause we've seen that matters for getting into playoffs later or whatever bowl it is. unfortunately pre season rankings actually do matter. first time getting this kind of advantage for us.
add another chip on the shoulder.

...said every non-B1G homer for the last 103 years in a row at this time.
WVU had already dealt with COVID prior to the ISU game. They hadn’t played in a few weeks because of it. I believe they were almost at full strength and I’m not sure they were missing any key guys.
And I’m not sure how to even argue your point about Texas lol. “They had bad play calling” is a lazy excuse. That game was all about execution. We executed when it mattered and Texas didn’t.
By that logic we were at full strength against the Ragin Cajuns.
Well we were missing an All American TE and I’m also not sitting here saying that game was a fluke..
lol if you think missing Kolar was the biggest issue we had against them.
think they were saying he's a good college QB, but still turns it over too much to fully trust him. can't really argue with that. it's true.
Nah those guys got suspended and both played vs. us in the CCG.
