Arguing season approaches. In two weeks, the first College Football Playoff rankings will be released, and we'll be re-immersed in terms we spend the first half of the season attempting to ignore.
Strength of schedule. Strength of record. Best win. They'll all be used in abstract and, because it's impossible to rank teams without getting messy, sometimes contradictory ways.
