Top 10 in CFP are all very close to this. Here are the biggest variances.
I'm only listing the ones ranked 4 spots higher or lower than the marbles.
Illinois is the only Big Ten getting a real boost in CFP. Michigan is getting penalized, surprisingly enough.
All SEC schools are ranked higher in CFP than in marbles. Some only by a one ranking, but every single one of them in the top 25.
ACC is getting a boost w/Miami (back baby), but UVA is ranked much lower in CFP. GT is close.
Big XII is all over the place.
BYU 7 spots lower in CFP
Miami 4 spots higher in CFP
Texas 4 spots higher in CFP
Michigan 5 spots lower in CFP
UVA 5 spots lower in CFP
Tennessee 12 spots higher in CFP
Illinois 12 spots higher in CFP
Mizzou 28 spots higher in CFP!!!
Houston 7 spots higher in CFP
Tulane 4 spots lower in CFP
AZ State 6 spots lower in CFP

Pretty surprising. It looks like the SEC is still getting much more benefit

Exact same 12 teams as the CFP. Only huge difference is BYU's rank. 11 vs 4**
