Interesting opinion piece on CFP selection by USA Today's SEC columnist

That article just pisses me off even more.

I knew Bama would be in if they beat UGA because the committee had laid the groundwork for that over the course of the preceding week and because of the slant of the media conversation.

That being said, I never thought it's a good thing. In fact, I think it's a terrible thing because it messes with the core concept of sports that teams need set parameters they know they need to meet to achieve their goals. It's the goalpost moving just to get the 'desirable' match-up that exposes the playoff as a non-serious media spectacle rather than a real competition to establish a national champion.

Unfortunately, this was the 'perfect storm' for it to happen because the committee's members could ignore all future implications of the decision by pointing to the 12 team playoff next year as a 'solution' to their own self-created problem.

It's garbage, and most of the country knows it's garbage. The rich get richer. Rather than savaging one another, we need to change it.

“It’s one of the questions that we do ask. From a coaching standpoint, who do you want to play? Who do you not want to play?” Corrigan said on ESPN, adding that the three former coaches on the committee have “a significant voice in the room.”

This nearly knocked me out of my seat when I heard it, and I'm sure it makes Norvell furious. It almost makes it sounds as if, the committee was going to pick FSU, then did a poll and everyone said they'd rather play FSU, so they switched it to Alabama. Honestly, that might have been how it  played out. 

Remember, kids, the SEC is Poochie.

Whenever football ever comes up, the Poochie of conferences MUST always be mentioned. Whenever the SEC isn't playing, all the other teams should always be asking where the SEC is.

Just validates Sankey plays chess and the big post-Delaney is playing tiddlywinks.

There are certainly going to be a lot of college football grievances aired this Festivus.

This is why Petitti has to go. Clown left mid MVP interview of his own conference championship game. 0 standing up for the conference, only what’s in his own interest. 
and as UM fans we should know more than any that the sport is subjective. Please see split title in ‘97. What in the hell even is that?

The article is exactly right. The committee turned this into a beauty contest just THIS year so they could let in their old pal Bama and the SEC. 

And Warde was there a part of it. Fire em all from the committee and fire Warde for being a part of this offense to the sport.

I whole heartedly agree with this entire article.

Committee really should be asked to answer this question?  After dropping FSU from 4 to 5 following the win over North Alabama, and the Jordan Travis injury, did they then elevate FSU back to number 4 the very next week after beating Florida?  If they weren't good enough to remain number four after beating 10-2 Louisville, why was FSU good enough to be moved up to four after beating the most unimpressive 5-6 Gators the previous week?

Make this make sense.
On a side note, no team should ever disclose the nature and duration of an injury to their starting QB.  This a lesson that should have been learned 50 years ago when the disclosure of Franklin's collarbone injury gave the Big Ten reason enough to keep Michigan out of the 1974 Rose Bowl.
