2016 College Football Rankings - Week 14

"Wait!" you exclaim. "Western Michigan in the College Football Playoff over Clemson?" Our unbiased computer analysis says, "Yes. Clemson lost to Pittsburgh, who we have ranked at #28 (and only that high because of its victory over Clemson) while Western Michigan didn't lose to anyone. In fact, we don't even have Clemson on the edge of the playoffs. We have them at #7, behind 3-loss USC. Their performance this year was that weak. And besides, how less reasonable is this than ranking four-loss Auburn higher than ANY undefeated team like the college football playoff committee did?"

There's still one game left in the regular season (Army-Navy), so there might be some changes - the outcome of any game impacts to some degree every team in FBS because of the way we do our analysis - but our rankings this week are pretty close to what they will be heading into bowl season.
