The College Football Playoff Committee’s next-to-last ranking caused much consternation among fans, and one Heisman Trophy contender called on the president to take charge.
The Vanderbilt Commodores are on the outside looking toward the final field with no more games on their schedule. Vanderbilt only has two losses on the season: against the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns. Both are conference opponents, which prevented them from entering the SEC Championship.

Diego Pavía wrote on social media that President Donald Trump should sign an executive order to expand the field days before the final table is published.
“@realDonaldTrump MAKE THE EXECUTIVE ORDER PLEASE,” he wrote on X.
Pavia responded to a post calling for the expansion of the College Football Playoff from 12 teams to 16 teams. The post called for the CFP to have four SEC teams, four Big Ten teams, two ACC teams, two Big 12 teams and four at-large bids.
“Get rid of these stupid committees full of justifications that no one seems to understand,” the post adds.

Trump taking over the CFP Committee was something Secretary of State Marco Rubio joked about in an appearance on CNN.
Right now, the ones feeling hurt the most are the Miami Hurricanes, who are sitting on the outside looking down the field despite having a head-to-head advantage against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
There are some conference championship games on Saturday that could change the standings a bit. The BYU Cougars’ loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in the Big 12 Championship will ultimately hurt them and possibly catapult them onto the field. The possibility of Alabama remaining in the field despite having three losses should it lose to the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC title game would also lead to more heated conversation.
