@slmandel Via multiple sources, commissioners prefer a selection committee that picks "best four,"
terrible idea, imo.
a "supposedly" impartial selection committee for college baseball selected UF as the #1 national seed when they didn't even win the SEC East much less the SEC.
now, I realize the #1 seed in baseball really doesn't mean anything more than the #8 seed in baseball. but, for the sake of argument, assume the top 8 seeds for this years college baseball tournament are all football teams: UF, UCLA, FSU, Baylor, Oregon, UNC, LSU, USCe.
So UF makes the final four football teams over the team that won their division and the team that won their conference?
selection committee = far too subjective, i don't want the four teams to be dependent upon TV ratings.
it needs to be the top 4 BCS ranked teams. the computers and the number of poll voters limit the subjectivity to at least some degree.

i agree that there does need to be a quantitative element involved in the formula (so we need computer rankings), but the "poll voters" are still a biased sample and often uninformed.
i dont think the selection committee is a bad idea, but i realize i am in the minority with that view.
