Tim Brando: College Football Playoff committee has some tough decisions to make
The whole video is relevant, however he starts talking about LSU & Bama at the 1:44 mark, best comment at 2:26

You've got to see this video. . . . .

He’s right. Right now, the system looks broken.

I'm not watching the video, but this is premature hand wringing. The committee only exists to pick the top four teams at the end of the season. It does not matter who is number 1 or number 4 or number 12 this week.
The system is specifically not the BCS where preseason rankings mattered as much as on field performance.
The only reason the committee does weekly updates is to keep people paying attention and giving clicks.

I don't like Brando, but he's right.
And the committee will play favorites, using such criteria as "the eye test".

As long as there remains a subjective "eye test" and a system that doesn't account for recognizing conference champions, the whole thing will remain broken. I don't care how many teams you extend the playoffs to.

Insanity
I swear their athletic dept pays these people.

It is broken. It seems to me that the committee goes mostly with an eye test and also use the name test also to distinguish when eye test isn’t enough.
Need to use some sort of point system wher variables are assigned points. Use:
Strength of schedule as one. The tougher the schedule the more the points.
Standings in Conference.
Ranking of offense and defense
Things like that and assign points penalize for easy schedules and things like that
Don’t go by who the coach is or what they have done in years past. It seems like the committee is too biased to do what’s been going on.

Bring back the BCS and take 4.

I like Brando but completely disagree with many of his proposals for tinkering with the system. 6,8, or more teams is not the answer. I also don’t think all conference champs belong in the fray either. Automatic qualifiers will lead to 6-4 teams playing for a Natty.
I actually prefer the old BCS system.

Tim Brando is never scared to tell it like it is, and it's awesome.
The CFP Committee is going to have some serious shite to talk about this week.

I haven’t watched yet but to even consider Bama is a travesty.
That’s like saying well they lost but we are putting the most stacked teams in any ways.
The games and schedule should matter. They couldn’t afford a loss with that schedule. They lost at home.

How long does Alabama’s playoff privilege last? How many seasons should the selection committee continue to slip them in on reputation and not on power of schedule and field accomplishments?
Posted on 11/11/19 at 12:06 pm to LSUgrits
Bama thinking it should be let into the playoffs based solely on the fact that they are Bama is some elitists snap. Reminds me of how all of Al Gore’s four kids got into Harvard. This junk about giving certain teams free passes based on reputation and name recognition needs to end. They played no rank teams and loss to the only one they played. Bama should be out of contention.

That's what a true sports journalist sounds like.

I've never understood the hate for Brando. He's been around long enough and seen the behind the scenes machinations to know what he's talking about here. I firmly believe there will be a push to put Alabama in the playoffs without a conference championship. It'll come from the SEC office to put two teams in the playoffs.

It’s not wrong to use the “eye test”, but it should only be used as a last resort when all other metrics fail to differentiate.
Posted on 11/11/19 at 1:28 pm to LSUgrits
I agree with what he says, but the playoffs are heavily influenced by ratings, ratings, ratings. There is NO way that the gophers or bears make it to the CFP. None. Too much money at stake.

top 4 should be either unbeaten, or 1 loss conference champions
no exceptions
