The CFP rankings — and ‘data points’ — have left Miami, Ole Miss and South Carolina puzzled

Associated Press  

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Miami wants things reconsidered. The fallout and, for some, anger stemming from the release of the latest CFP ranking — one that almost certainly means Miami, South Carolina and Ole Miss all have no chance of getting into the 12-team field — continued Wednesday as the schools on the outside looking in continued making their case, even though all hope for them seems to be gone. Miami would be the first team left on the outside looking in, and the Hurricanes are hoping the selectors take another look at their case — even though CFP committee chair Warde Manuel insisted they would not. “Warde Manuel, if I hear the word ‘data point’ one more time in my life, I may throw up,” South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said. It was all in our hands and it got taken away from us when we lost.” Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark knows his league’s champion — Arizona State or Iowa State — will get in, but likely won’t get a first-round bye if Boise State wins the Mountain West title and is the highest ranked Group of Five team.
