I agree, If you are a P5 teams things like strength should only come into play for those teams who have a loss (unless there are 5 undefeated P5 teams).And therefore the first selections should reflect that NOW. Not some Scenario Village.

Neither were Ohio State in 2016 or Alabama in 2017. One got whipped 31-0 in the semi and the other one won a natty without playing in their CCG. Two extremes. Spewing the 13th data point justification doesn't hold water IMHO. Just say we felt Team X is better and leave it at that.
Because:lol.
This committee always has been and always will be a fuckin' joke.
Why let teams play their way into the playoff when you can just get a group of retards together in a room and have them rank teams based on reputation and last year's performance?
I swear if these idiots had the same job in the NFL the Chiefs would be a top 5 team because "they have a lot of talent on paper and they were in the Super Bowl last year".
I didn't either. Just that they shouldn't use the 13th data point inconsistently. Does playing a 13th game really make any difference in how good that team is? Not IMO. Bama was the same after 12 games as they would have been after 13. Same for Ohio State in '16. Same for Baylor or TCU in '14. Same teams whether they played 12 or 13 games.Okay? He didn't say that an 11-1 team couldn't get in.

Because:
1. With 132 teams in 10 conferences, there is no way to "play their way in." You simply do not get enough inter-conference play to let Win Loss or conference champs be the only determinative factor. Comparing a 32 team NFL league that schedules for parity with CFB.
2. By the by-laws, their job is to get the 4 best. Not the conf champs, not the ones with the best records, not the Cinderalla story ... the best 4 and that is inherently subjective.
This is why going to 12 will make this go away. No one gives a shit if no. 13 thinks they got screwed ... don't lose 2-3 games.
Yes...when they want to.13th data point is used like a tiebreaker.
Yes...when they want to.
That's a feature, not a bug. It's built into the CFP mission statement. How else would it be done?As long as the committee picks who gets in, they control it. Just because you can't argue with their choices is beside the point.

Man, does he not know how rare that is ... I'll take it all!That knife cuts both ways and Ohio State HAS benefited from it. And if you think committee members don't take the names on jerseys into consideration when two teams are equal, then I've got some ocean front property in El Paso I'll sell you. And there are 1,000 ways to justify it as long as criteria shift i.e. the 13th data point made a difference in 2014 according to the committee but not in subsequent years when it benefited Bama and Ohio State. Flannigan's Finagling Factor.
Can't blame the committee though. That is what we wanted...humans to be able to look at things besides just what a computer program spit out like the BCS. We wanted a fudge factor allowed. We got it.
I just hope Georgia blows the doors off Alabama if they play, preferably in the CCG.
Again, a feature not a bug. There are no hard parameters that you could use in a 132 team, 10 conference setup. If you look back at the CFP, they actually do a pretty good job. Can you tell me a single team that didn't get in that you think would have won it all?Good question. It still doesn't change the fact that the CFP is done by invitation and not hard parameters.

And, the 12 team CFP will make all this meaningless.
I would love making the Fiesta....I would not love facing a pissed of Cinci team that missed the playoffs looking for something to prove.
They have OU in the Sugar against Auburn (bottom left)Wow.
They don't even have OU making a bowl game?
Geez. I guess I'm seriously delusional or some shits?

We have a ton of sandy beaches...just no ocean!Man, does he not know how rare that is ... I'll take it all!
