Media's Twitter reaction to first College Football Playoff poll
Naturally, everyone is appalled by the first College Football Playoff poll.
How could Alabama make the top four?
How could Michigan State be behind Alabama and Notre Dame?
Where is Iowa?
The tweets of the college football media world answered a lot of the questions that surfaced following the release of the first poll. Here were some of the thoughts from college football writers.
You love Iowa? Hawkeyes can prove it against…. wait.

This is what matters: If #OhioState is undefeated after B1G title, Buckeyes are in. There is no chance – none, zilch — they'd be excluded.

Wow. Eye Test is HUGE to the Committee this year

Look if Bama wins the SEC by all means put them in. But for now they are evaluated differently than everyone else, plain and simple.

Iowa and Florida will be top six going into conference championship games.

If you’re AD at Power 5 contender you must have legitimate non-conference opponent on your sked. Even if you lose, can win out, recover.

Long: Baylor and TCU's explosive offenses gave them the edge over Iowa despite Iowa having more quality Ws.

Long: "Ohio State is strong. Three wins teams over teams w/ .500 or better records."

The initial ranking means little, but I am confused on why one-loss Notre Dame is in front of unbeaten Michigan State.

Is it SOS or eye test? Because Ohio State's SOS is not as good as Michigan State or Iowa but it is ranked ahead… https://t.co/wv8bA29CRq
