College Football Playoff Bracket is Released

This college football season has been filled with many easy wins, upsetting losses, and, unfortunately, injuries among the players. Taking all these factors into consideration, the college football committee carefully reviews each team and its ranking to determine who the final four college teams are that will compete for the national championship.

However, many individuals have gone to Twitter to express their opinion on the committee as being unfair, biased, and playing favorites based on previous years, not based on the current standings of each team.

Using Sprinklr Analytics, the platform identified over a 12 million reach with 2,000 mentions. The sentiment regarding this analysis was 69.88% positive mentions and 30.12% negative mentions. Out of the mentions, the analysis platform analyzed that 80% of the content was from male users’ accounts.

Many users are happy to see that both power teams, Alabama and Clemson, have been left out of the selection process this year, but on the other hand, some passionate fans of the schools are upset that their team did not make the cut.

Texas Christian University (TCU) has been a trending topic as well because they are not one of the few teams that are consistently in the top four selected, and thus their 2022 record had to speak volumes in order to finalize their spot.

The rest of the line-up includes Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio State. These games will be played at the end of December and will determine who the 2022 national champion team will be.

On the bright side, the Clemson team will take on Tenessee in the Orange Bowl for the bragging rights of who wears the better orange!
