What a laugher: College Football Playoff committee has a sense of humor

quote:

The College Football Playoff committee must have a sense of humor.

Either that or the whole thing is just one big joke.

On Tuesday evening, the group of voters charged with putting together a playoff for their sport created a scenario that only a professional showman could devise.




quote:

The committee placed Alabama at No.5 in its new rankings, which is ludicrously too low for the Crimson Tide, but not only that, the committee put Georgia at No.4. With Alabama’s weak strength of schedule a concern, that means the Crimson Tide needs some quality wins to bolster its resume


quote:

How are we as a collective state supposed to function properly?

Alabama (8-1), so ranked, currently is in position to miss the College Football Playoff for the first time in its six-year history. Nick Saban’s juggernaut of team hasn’t been outside the Top Four since November 2017. 




quote:

Alabama is the heart of college football, but right now there are chest pains.




quote:

That Alabama is even having to rely on Auburn is a bit of manufactured drama, which, if we’re being honest, is what this whole sham of a system really needs right now. The College Football Playoff committee has turned this sport into an exhibition of corporate greed at the expense of real competition.

Could the irony get any thicker coming from the Bama perspective?

It's really quite simple:
1-3 are undefeated P-5 teams.

4. Georgia beat Notre Dame and Florida and lost to S. Carolina
5. Bama lost to LSU and has a best win vs unranked A&M

They valued 2 wins over Top 15 teams and a bad loss over no wins over a Top 25 team and a "good" loss.

Yes but not for the reason they think. In fact, exactly the opposite.

This is what you get when your cross conference rival loses to Sun Belt teams and the “best” nonconference game you schedule is fricking Duke. I don’t care what happens the rest of the way, you lose like that at home and don’t win your conference, you don’t deserve the playoff

So what he's essentially saying is that the system is a sham if Alabama doesn't make the playoffs. If somehow they backdoor in, then the system worked the way it is supposed to. What a steaming crock of shite, but it's exactly what I'd expect from the most delusional and entitled fanbase in all of sports.

A sham is when a team doesn't even win their division but gets to the playoff

The saddest thing is, that they have zero amount of shame in spouting this sort of shite. Zero. Zilch.

Only one team has ever done that...and they've done it twice.
