re: Here’s what I don’t understand about the CFP selection that I’m not seeing discussed much

Not Bama's fault that the ACC wasn't that strong this year.

FSUs SOS or the ACC's strength/weakness has nothing to do with why they were left out. They were left out for one reason and one reason only and it is bc their QB is injured.

What has never made sense is the committee claiming that FSU is playing like shite without Travis while ignoring that Bama is playing like shite (Auburn game) with all of their players

- Bama has the better roster.

This can't possibly matter. I'm not saying it doesn't, but it can't possibly if we're trying to have the fairest system possible. Which, granted, you're obviously not interested in. But literally, why even play the games if this matters at all. Let 247 crown the champion in February after NSD, and we could save everybody a lot of time and energy and save all the players from injuries. The 1980 Russian hockey team had a MUCH better roster than the U.S. Why'd we even play that game? Those American boys could have gotten hurt. Just put Russia into the Gold Medal Game. Or just give them the Gold Medal.

I can't tell if you're trying to justify it to everybody else or justify it to yourself. But you're either incredibly intellectually dishonest or unfathomably stupid. Maybe both. But if the 1st page of this thread is an indication of the level of discourse, I literally can't even.

And for the record, I think Bama is going to win the NC. But they could win both games 100-0 and it won't justify the decision of putting them in.
