Twitter reacts to CFB playoff rankings, bowls |
After a wild and crazy 2020 college football season, the College Football Playoff playoff semi-final rankings were released on Sunday afternoon.
The top four rankings were Alabama, followed by Clemson, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. No. 1 Alabama will face off against No. 4 Notre Dame in the Capital One Rose Bowl while No. 2 Clemson will play against No. 3 Ohio State in the All-State Sugar Bowl. The Tigers will face off against the Buckeyes in a playoff game for the second straight season. The meeting will be the fifth between Clemson and Ohio State all-time, moving the Buckeyes past Alabama and LSU (four each) as Clemson’s most common bowl opponent. Twitter was abuzz with all the excitement about the rankings and the upcoming playoff matchups. Check it out below: The rematch is on ?? ?? @ACCFootball x @CFBPlayoff ?? pic.twitter.com/gV3faRjGEC A happy group of Tigers headed to another #CFBPlayoff #ALLIN pic.twitter.com/7jcwJ8pYFT The CFP has driven a massive gap between the TOP of CFB and the rest...The only teams to have won CFP games are Alabama - Ohio State - LSU - Georgia - Clemson - Oregon...The 2021 recruiting rankings are as follows Alabama - Ohio State - LSU - Georgia - Clemson - Oregon How did Notre Dame get the 4th playoff spot after getting blown off a neutral field by a Clemson with Trevor Lawrence back at QB??? Because this is big business and Notre Dame brings the biggest national TV audience. The #SugarBowl and #NOLA are ready for you! #ALLIN https://t.co/X01xq1z2x1 No. 2??@ClemsonFB is IN.#CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/yEzEJChzuA This would presumably help Ohio State vs. Clemson depending on who/when they were positive. https://t.co/TmjbPTtGTx ESPN's Football Power Index sees the Sugar Bowl as a toss-up, giving (2) Clemson a 50.3% chance to defeat (3) Ohio State. It’s honestly not the rankings that bother me. It’s the explanations. Weekly hypocrisy and mind-boggling reverse engineered arguments that get ignored with the very next question. No sport is as top heavy as College Football. Could have named these four teams in this order in August. Of three years ago. #cfp #Bama #Clemson #OSU #ND THE #CFBPlayoff BRACKET IS SET ?? ?????? ?????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? ?? THIS IS THE MATCHUP WE WANTED. WE’VE WANTED OUR REVENGE SINCE THE REFS TOOK IT AWAY FROM US LAST YEAR. DABO AND CLEMSON BETTER GET READY BECAUSE THE BUCKEYES ARE COMING! ???? pic.twitter.com/ZqLSUHkQQG We need a Group of Five playoff like the NIT in hoops. If you’re going to treat them like ?? then create their own ?? championship. Keeping Cincinnati behind two-loss Oklahoma is perfectly in line with how the committee operates. THEY’RE IN. ?? If Clemson wins the National Championship and Cincinnati wins their NY6 the stage is set to claim an undefeated National Championship. Welp. Whatever. There’s only two elite teams anyway. We’re just wasting our time until Clemson-Bama. Bama & Clemson are great. Ohio St might be. That's the full great list. Clemson vs. Ohio State in the College Football semifinal: a matchup featuring Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, potentially the top two picks in the 2021 NFL Draft. ACC bowls: North Carolina vs. Texas A&M to Orange Bowl, Miami to Cheez-It Bowl, NC State to Gator Bowl & Wake Forest to Duke’s Mayo Bowl, sources told @Stadium THEY'RE IN ?? #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/fqgkI1Mxqj Clemson will play Ohio State in the 1st round of the #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/W4dZ9lvZHL Honestly, the Playoff is what it is. Four big-time, brand-name teams with great players who had excellent seasons. It’s fine. .@ClemsonFB fans waking up today like: pic.twitter.com/L8cf5xMsWy Let’s go! #BeatOhioState #allin #CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/4O6k0iJboX Clemson's final Playoff ranking, semifinal matchup set: https://t.co/eVEWg7JtTr pic.twitter.com/vHyIfjUnju Vegas Rankings = Objective (the higher ranked team would win most of the time vs a lower ranked team) We asked who you’d take if Bama and Clemson meet in the title game once again. I know the CFP committee won’t put Cincinnati in, but: Even the youngest fans are ready for Selection Day ??#CFBPlayoff pic.twitter.com/JhOSxu4Hqi Even though Notre Dame is already in with Bama and Clemson, the Irish will not be the No. 3 seed for obvious reasons. I'm biased but, for the college football playoffs, why not take the four highest rated conference champs? Bama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma. Makes perfect sense to me.

Clemson and Ohio State will meet in the #CFBPlayoff semifinal for the third time. pic.twitter.com/aehVAWUJl7
For the other CFP Semifinal, FPI gives (1) Alabama a convincing 81% chance to beat (4) Notre Dame at AT&T Stadium. pic.twitter.com/GbaQqSlK4A
I’d like the system better if it was all just “because we said so."

For the ?????????? year in a row the Clemson Tigers are headed to the College Football Playoff Semifinal! ????#ALLIN pic.twitter.com/FC3IWuZQOl
No. 2 @ClemsonFB will take on Ohio State in its 6th straight #CFBPlayoff appearance! pic.twitter.com/V74RBGj3iK
The very good list incl A&M & ND but we know they're not at Bama/Clem level, so I'd rather give Cincy or CCU a shot.
But not gonna debate it. The arguments are a feature, not a bug. They WANT you to be mad.
What the committee did with the rest of the rankings is an absolute abomination.
1) Alabama
2) Clemson
3) Ohio State
4) Oklahoma
5) Florida
6) Georgia
7) Notre Dame
8) Cincinnati
9) BYU
10) Texas A&M
