CFP Selection Committee Protocol: A Document for Liars.

CFP Selection Committee Protocol
Winning Conference Championships: Ohio State
Strength of Schedule: Ohio State= #2(Alabama #10)
Stated yet again and again, both favor Ohio State.
Mentioned YET AGAIN and in fact, were the only two metrics mentioned in this particular instance. Obviously, they are very important to the committee. At least until last year. For the record, I would have voted Penn State in last year without hesitation.
Ehem...
Alabama (3rd in their conference) - #4
Ohio State (CHAMPION) - #5
i.e -" we want to put our favorite(big brand/money) teams in the CFP not some nerds with their gay math. What has math ever done right?" *high fives nearest meathead*
..and then ignore them completely.
So Gumps can stop claiming FSU in week #1 as a big victory. They were obviously overrated and no one can know that until at least a few games have been played. Hence the instruction above from the CFP committee to its voting members.
"Conference championships won" and "strength of schedule" are mentioned many more times in the protocol document, always in that order except for one instance.

Get over it.
If Ohio State hadn’t been destroyed by Iowa they’d be in.

Say what you want but if I had to put my mortgage on a team in the playoffs to win it all, it'll probably be Bama. They lost once to an Auburn team while Ohio State got blown out by Iowa.

Do you even eyeball test, bro?

Penn State won the Big 10 and the head to head last year, no?

The mandate clearly states that if the two schools had similar records then you consider conference championships, head to head, strength of schedule, etc.
They didn't have similar records.
You conveniently left that part out.

It's simple, last year and this year.
2 losses>1 loss
2 losses>1 loss

Ohio st benefitted from this exact scenario last year, yet Penn St beat them head to head and won the conference.
As much as I hate Bama, at least the Committee was somewhat consistent with this BS two years in a row. If Buckeyes would’ve gotten in this year Penn St should riot from the previous year.

So.....whats the problem here?

Dude it's a stupid Star Chamber...everyone knows this.
Like IOC...I'm sure it went to the highest bidder.
Nobody cares more about football over academics than Bama.
They probably emptied their coffers. Tyrone Willingham hasn't coached in 8 years. Dude needs $$$.

Alabama probably loses a couple of games with OSU's schedule, they weren't that great when they played quality competition or any team that could remotely be compared to OU, Michigan State, Wisconsin or Penn State in fact Alabama's eye test was kinda weak in those games, could be exposed again against Clemson

Similar =/= same.

Didn't read but I agree the process needs changes

What head-to-head are you referring to?

How are OSU and Bama's circumstances comparable?
Ohio State played and beat higher ranked teams. At what point does this outweigh one bad loss? How many ranked teams to they have to play and beat to cancel out that one loss?

FINALLY a reasonable post.
Thanks for not bending over like the rest of these capitulating panty-wastes.
