or maybe the committee ranks teams in a way that doesn't lead to good outcomes

Yeah, the committee is in a position, knowing that they have four spots, to rank a team on resume rather than on eye test that they might actually believe to be better or worse than their actual ranking. There's a reason the semis are almost always blowouts. I truly believe expanding to any more than 4 teams would bastardize college football to a point that would ruin the game.

Nah, we’ve had 5 playoffs, so we really don’t have a good sample size to say 1 way or the other, but the 2 years the 4 seed won: 2017 all 4 teams had a loss, Alabama was the 1 all year but lost the last week and the first year when it was new, I also think conference stereotypes played a big role, in 2014, the SEC was overrated and B1G was considered bad after like week, but in retrospect Ohio State was a better team they were also young, what was it 10 of the first 80 picks in the draft a full year later
The other 3 years were all Bama-Clemson as the 1-2, with the 2 winning all 3, that’s an odd coincidence but 2s winning 1-2 games is not unusual especially a bunch in a short time the 2002, 03, 05, 06, 07, 08 BCS the 2 seed won
