re: Predictions on Playoff Committee Rankings

If that's their reasoning for ranking Ohio State number one then I lose all faith in the committee.

Not to be a Debbie Downer...but who in their right mind ever thought a committee was a good idea for this system?

Seriously...we talk about having to "win it on the field" and then have literally no mathematical way to determine which teams win their way into the playoff.

We're stuck with an "eyeball test" that once again forces humans to judge programs which have almost certainly not played each other or in most cases even played the same opposition as to which ones are the best four.

Choosing teams by committee can work when the field is large enough...like baseball or basketball...even a fricking committee will end up choosing the team which will eventually win it all. But when you limit it to just four, eyeball teats have absolutely no place. Multiple teams left out because they don't pass the eyeball test COULD win it in a playoff... You just can;t have a playoff of four teams AND a committee. Makes no sense.

In short, this entire thing needs to be dropped for an NFL style system where conferences (until we drop those too) place teams into the playoff based on wins/losses and NOT on which ones SEEM to be the best.

Sorry to hi-jack...this whole thing chaps my arse! haha
