re: Are the College Football Playoffs a Failure?

The #4 team was #5 going into the last week and moved up without having to play another game while the team that fell was in until the conference championship game. It was horseshite.

I 100% agree, teams should not benefit by not playing in a game others have to because they won a division. I've always said i think the standard should be most deserving not "best teams"

Those #4s winning prove that the margin isn't nearly as wide as people are acting. This year is the anomaly, not the norm.

That's a different point then saying the 4 seeds winning proves the seeding was wrong

Actually when everyone was melting over LSU being the 2 seed, i made basically the same point, that it doesn't matter if you are 1 or 2, the response of course was that its better to play OU than Clemson, which is just for this particular year. In 2017 i would have rather been the 2 than have to play Bama with an extra week off.

That said i still think 4 is fine.
