The Truth About the College Playoff Committee -- How Long Till Calls till

In the 1960s, Seattle (the birthplace of dialysis) instituted a committee of the leading professionals called a "God Committee" to decide who would receive the very scare resource of kidney transplant. They decided based on the persons profession-- whether doctorate degree or not, amount of children the patient had etc., and made a judgement of their future contribution to society and picked who would receive the organs. Ultimately it was found to be unethical, disbanded, and led to entire bioethical reworking of the system.
Now 60s later we have the "leading professionals" deciding admission into the very scare resource of the playoff through the committees own judgement of: historical significance of the program, television commitments, their own judgment of teams performances.
This is all heavy hearted but really shouldn't we be able to watch the actual meeting unfold? We can listen to c-span for 5 hours but are deemed not dense enough to hear a fair and balanced conversation on football? There is no doubt that these are not unbiased decisions. We are human after all.
100% LSU moved down in anticipation of Alabama moving to #4. I think an overall great decision but clearly calculated and has moved the ranking system away from fair into WE THE ALMIGHTY COMMITTEE. The show even sounds like it
My question:
How long till people see this and call for unbiased selectors of playoff?

Nope.
They need to see us play a compete 60 minute game (read: great defense) or Ohio State look pedestrian.

They don't look ahead to what might happen.
