Since the College Football Playoff was established in 2014, 36 teams from 14 programs have made it to the big dance. Bill Connelly of ESPN took it upon himself to rank every single CFP team.
The top ten is as you would expect: lots of Alabama, Georgia and Clemson with LSU‘s 2019 squad landing at No. 2. Sooners fans will have to scroll a bit to find their beloved crimson and cream.
This is how Connelly ranked the teams, is his own words:
Here is our ranking of all 36 teams that have been part of the mix. (This is the third year of doing this list, adding the four new playoff teams each of the last two seasons.) I derived this list, as I usually do, through a combination of numbers (primarily, my SP+ ratings) and my personal opinions. Start with the stats, then adjust for actual CFP performance and any other criteria that feel relevant. To the list!- Bill Connelly, ESPN
With the Sooners still searching for that elusive first playoff win, perhaps one day we will see an OU team ranked a bit higher. Until that day, let’s see where the other four Oklahoma playoff teams landed.
