College football rankings: How simulated BCS compares to Tuesday’s new CFP Top 25
Published:
Even with the BCS system a thing of the past, many still prefer this system to the current College Football Playoff process.
Luckily for those people, BCSKnowHow.com is still active on Twitter and compares the weekly CFP rankings to the BCS rankings.
Typically, there is not much difference between the 2 systems. For example, in Week 11, the top 9 spots were identical in both systems. With the latest iteration of the rankings, the 1st difference is at No. 5 with the BCS system having USC and the CFP having LSU.
