You could be, but I don't think you are.

Clemson with 3 losses won't be ahead of 3-loss Bama in the final CFP rankings imo.

And if Clemson isn't ahead of Bama, then two-loss SMU (with no Top 25 wins) won't be either.

Also don't see Clemson jumping ahead of ASU (for the last first-round bye) as the Sun Devils obliterated Iowa State in the Big XII title game

Last Week/This week
1. Oregon/Oregon (first-round bye)
2. Texas/ND
3. PSU/UGA (first-round bye)
4. ND/Texas
5. UGA/OSU
6. OSU/PSU
7. Tenn/Tenn
8. SMU/Ind
9. Indiana/Boise (first-round bye)
10. Boise/Bama
11. Bama/ASU (first-round bye)
12. Canes/Clemson
13. Ole Miss/SMU
14. S.Carolina/Canes
15. ASU/Ole Miss
16. Iowa St/S.Carolina
17. Clemson ...

Casuals and die hards are turned off by the subjectivity of CFB's ranking / playoff selection process.

The expectations with "a playoff," and NIL, is that college will be professionally (<------ key word) run.

CFB players are paid professionals. Amateur status is dead. Therefore, a transparent and objective selection process for the post season is the minimal expectation. Long gone are the days where CFB players are considered to be "student athletes," "kids on scholarship," etc. That's American History. Done. Finito.

IMHO, The more things stay the same with the powers that be in the NCAA (subjectivity/bias, etc.), the more it will turn people off.

I can dig it Cyrus!

Imagine what would happen to NFL if there were a "selection committee" for wildcard slots.

There would be violence.

I agree.

Amateurism is dead. The $takes are higher, and the sytem relies on benevolence from alumni to fund NIL.

What could possibly go wrong? LOL...

Just give it time.

I just don't see how this model is viable for the long term, and while the morons continue to try and make it better, it will just get worse.

It’s already out of hand, I believe. Just look at the recruiting classes, where the majority of 5* kids went. Layer on top of it, the majority of teams in the playoffs (the fix). It isn’t a sport anymore, it’s entertainment.

I agree, and was putting things very lightly. Gonna be an even bigger mess down the line.

They are already lobbying for Alabama w the graphic showing the wins vs top 25 between the two.

What I don't understand is how quality wins negate terrible losses. OU and Vandy are horrendous. And the way in which they lost to Vandy and OU... I'm not sure they led in either game? They should always show who they lost to if they are standing on who they beat.

An analyst made a great point on Twitter. If the committee punishes a team that loses their conference champ game and rewards one that didn’t play in theirs, the whole conference championship game concept crumbles. Why would teams and conference want to play a championship game if it can hurt you.

If there’s one thing the committee does well, it’s to make sure that their “criteria” are not applied evenly or fairly and is handled instead on a case by case basis with as little logic as possible.

If “quality” losses fit their narrative, then they go with that.

If Strength of Schedule meets it then they go with that.

If nothing fits then they go with the good ol fashioned eye test and say matter of factly “if Bama played (insert any team here) Bama would obviously win”

they did, players that didn't live up to our high culture standards. You know the culture that has us going to the pop Tart bowl. Concerns, we can't develop talent, now I wonder if we can identify talent.
