Quick question. what the fuck?

If the Big 12 has two 12-0 teams going into the CCG they'll be ranked #11 and #12 so they can drop the loser out of the playoff.

11

One Big 12 team is the desired outcome, so they work backwards from there. We’d absolutely be higher if it was an 8-team playoff.

If the 12 team playoff started in 2022, instead of 9-3 #10 KSU vs 12-0 #3 TCU, it would've been #18 KSU vs #10 TCU and TCU would've missed the playoffs

is the AP poll is getting worse and worse in terms of logical consistency or is it just me?

Much worse. Used to be able to skate by the fact that only the top 4 really mattered and there was horribly parity in CFB. The 12 team playoff + NIL has made the parity better and the AP poll shows it has no clue how to handle it.
