The process is stupid, but the committee voted correctly based on their own rules. Jordan Travis being out changes the team.

Not when it comes to wins and losses.

With that said, the subjective method of selecting teams is completely stupid. The playoff expansion can’t come fast enough.

I don’t know why anyone thinks this will be an improvement. If there are 12 spots, and every team that gets in has a chance at the title, all 12 selected are equal outside of the road to the championship game. With 4 teams, only so many can go undefeated and/or win conf championships, which makes it much easier to just say “if you want to get in then play better”. That is, there will be more opportunities for teams with similar records to be brought in and/or left out.

This year for instance would have left out LSU on paper. But, with the Heisman winner on the roster, that wouldn’t actually happen. It would be a completey subjective call. They most likely would be squeezing out a 2 loss team. Sure they could justify it with “strength of schedule” but there would be another motive for doing so.

If you think the subjectivity is stupid now, it will be more stupid with more teams.
