Main reason they tried to force the matchups was to get higher ratings as they negotiate playoff television rights moving forward.
It was a disgusting act but paid off in their minds with the ratings they got. Sadly shows everything that is wrong with this sport and college athletics now.

Even though the entire system is changing with 12 team expansion next year?

Committee got it 100% right.
FSU is not better than Texas or Bama.
Bama earned their way in by beating UGA

I agree
The fact that Michigan got TWO passes for blatantly cheating blows my fricking mind
They cheated before the season (recruiting) and cheated to win games during the season (sign stealing), and only got a tiny slap on the wrist. shite blows my mind

I thought Florida St should have been in because I believe most deserving is a better standard than “best” which is subjective. But the idea that the only reason to take Alabama was “money” is conspiratorial nonsense for simpletons. They were a legit good team that won the toughest conference and their only loss was to another top 5 team.
Florida St is a big program with a large fanbase and national brand. If they were in the ratings would have similar. All the morons think Alabama is the rating mover the highest rated regular season game was Michigan Ohio St, Michigan is the rating driver

Anyone denying that FSU got screwed is a fricking clown.
Glad the playoff is expanding(I wish only 8) and their decisions probably won't cause as big of a mess but as long as there is a committee it will leave the door open for bs.

The disrespect is going to a 12 team playoff. The committee got it right in shutting out FSU. The argument should have been putting in Texas over Georgia.

They've done the same thing for decades. This isn't new.

Ok...but they got it right. Alabama was clearly the 4 and Michigan was clearly the #1.
What do you think the matchups should have been?

This outrage is stupid. The moment they decided a playoff was the answer it was about who the best 4 were after the last game. If you cared about the regular season you would have kept the bcs and let it play out. Playoffs, in all sports, are about who is playing the best ball at the end of the season. Alabama would have run over FL St, the FL St that played Louisville. Earlier, who knows. You want a playoff then this is the result. Subjectivity in the back end. You can’t apply the regular season matters logic when debating 4 and 5/6 because those teams, historically have no business being there.
We are now entering 12 teams, what a joke. Will it be exciting for more people, yes. Will it make more money, yes. Is it a better way to decide who is best, no. It is now a tournament and the regular season truly matters less and we will have less games that matter OoC.
Every post season tournament that exists now rewards the hottest teams, not the teams that came through all season. Cinderella stories are dumb. They are exciting when they happen, but they f everything up and make brackets meaningless. Then, even if they win, does anyone think they were really the best team or just the tournament champion. We are robbed over and over again of better matchups. I get it. It draws more eyes, until it doesn’t and we get a lopsided championship game.

I wonder if this 12 team playoff will be different? Will you play all year to get a slot in the top 12 teams or at the end of the season the committee picks the 12 teams they think will make the best playoff tournament?
