How is this CFP any better than the BCS??

One of the commentators just stated that he wouldn't put 2 teams from the same conference in the final four as he wants to see representation from all over.
HOW is this ANY BETTER than the BCS system?? I'm not bitching about our #9 spot ... I just do not see how it being based on just human factor is any better. People can so easily have underlying biases.

Just should have kept the BCS and the top 4 made the playoffs

Danny Kanell in a nutshell.
He actually makes me miss Trev Alberts.

Its not, we need to scrap this system as well. Make the power 5 conferences ALL have championship games, take the winners of those, 3 at large or Wild Card teams and be done. Better than the crap we have right now.

It's not any better and has potential to be worse.

I think the BCS system and then take the top 4 teams for a playoff would have been ideal.

CFP committee doesn't like LSU's offensive philosophy, LOL. This is BS, they should let at least top 8 teams play it in the filed.

eye test (human bias)

It's not and won't be until they make it at least a 6 team playoff. They also need to remove acting AD's and people they have zero college football knowledge off the committee.

Not only is it not better, it's worse.

Nearly anything would have been better than the BcS.

Wouldn't be as big a deal if the playoffs expanded to 8 teams. Then you would most likely have all conference champions as well as 3 other worthy teams.
There will always be somebody bitching, but at least the nonsense of having every conference represented would be negated some

To answer your question directly, this committee probably knows their shite way better than the Coaches' and Harris polls did, and they are also individually subject to much more scrutiny.
That said, the BCS placed significant weight on unbiased, comprehensive math. Be-all, end-all? No, but nothing anyone says will convince me that democracy is a better way to decide these things than is a mathematical formula or series thereof.

Scheduling of the current Top 4:
#1 Clemson: Beat #4 Notre Dame, Beat #16 Florida State, May Face #23 North Carolina
#2 Alabama: Beat #9 LSU, Beat #25 Wisconsin, Will Play #17 Miss. St., May Face #11 Florida
#3 Ohio State: Will Play #13 Michigan State, Will Play #14 Michigan, May Play #5 Iowa
#4 Notre Dame: Loss to #1 Clemson, Beat #20 Navy, Beat #22 Temple, Will Play #7 Stanford
Total Games Played Against the Top 25: 11 (14 possible)
Total Games Played vs Non-Power 5 Conferences: 11 (Clemson - 2, Alabama - 3, Ohio State - 3, Notre Dame - 3)
I'm all for giving cupcake schools their funding, but when the number of games vs Top 25 schools is so close to the number of cupcakes, you have to wonder.

It's better in that four teams have a legitimate shot at winning.
Unless you're talking the way the teams are decided. That would be a separate issue which I could agree with, though I'm not opposed to what we have now.

LSU fans bitching because they shite the bed against Bama...again. 2 SEC teams aren't getting in. If it ends up Bama vs Florida in Atlanta the winner will get in and loser will be bumped.

I just found out tonight that 2 committee members are assigned to each conference.

@BryanDFischer: Worth noting that Condoleezza Rice and Bobby Johnson are the two committee members assigned to the Big 12.

@BryanDFischer: Tom Osborne and Condoleezza Rice are assigned to the American. Four AAC teams in the top 25.
