Preach. I've been arguing this since at least 2006, when I thought LSU was probably good enough to win the NC, but didn't deserve to play for it since they lost 2 games. Always, always, always "deserving." At least that attempts to be objective. "Best" is 100% subjective, and we are reminded every single year that we are not great at determining who's the "best."
Exactly. You guys understand and get what I’m saying.
We have no way of knowing who the best team actually is without them playing each other during the season and so the most deserving teams should be in 100% of the time.

By your rationale Florida gets penalized for being a member of a much more competitive conference. If you completely take the subjective aspect out you are going to get multiple ok teams who just happened to play in bad conferences get in over much better teams who had to play much tougher schedules. That still happens in the NFL as well. But to a lesser extent.
No. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that the most deserving team should get in based on their resume. Florida’s resume would be superior in this scenario. Computer polls were good at being objective and factoring in things such as strength of schedule.
I think the best solution would be to go back to the BCS formula pre-2004 when human polls and computer polls were both heavy factors in the formula. The top 12 teams based on the BCS formula should get in.
There should be no committee of so-called experts who sit down and decide who gets invited to the playoffs. That’s just begging for dirty politics, corruption, and doing what they think will make the most money, which is unfair and a disservice to the teams involved.

The concept presumes you're some expert and know what the frick you're looking at.
Plato's Cave
Kick Herbstreit: Oh my eye tells me Alabama is better than Oklahoma State...get the frick out. That's why we use W-L and other more objective measures in sports than the most subjective measure of all...the eye test.

Exactly. It’s ridiculous that a group of 15 so-called experts get to sit down and decide who to invite to the CFP based on who they subjectively think is the “best teams”.
