Couldn’t agree more about the contradictions. Those are maddening

But if we hit the brakes for 2 seconds here…

You pick the best 12 teams. Is BYU one of them? How about Iowa state? ASU? Absolutely not (according to the feedback on this site every Saturday when the teams are playing)

So are they really that far off when they’re choosing the “best 12 teams”?

Yes to all of your questions, except the last one that isn’t a yes or no.

No. Too much money involved. ESPN wouldn't do that

I’m sure, but theoretically ESPN isn’t deciding.

Theoretically. Like how they only theoretically determined expansion decisions

No, it’s just a dumb thing people say to blame results they don’t like on conspiracy nonsense.

I don’t know about corrupt but many metrics don’t make any sense in relation to their rankings.

This is my opinion as well. If you don’t like it it’s a conspiracy

No. They're in lock step with the AP Poll. Our internet culture sure likes

Or does the ap poll just mirror the playoff poll? Answer is that

Hmmmm. May be. But AP Poll starts in August and first CFP rankings nearly copied

I don’t think mirroring the ap poll is a feather in the cap of the ctee

Yes....they do get bribes from the SEC and Big 10. Its obvious.

What is the primary qualification for serving on a committee like this?

Is that what ADs do? Former coaches?

Don't attribute to malice that which can be properly attributed to ignorance

Yes. The b12 people don’t have the power in that room

Corrupt? No.. do they have their own bias and opinion when its supposed to be objective? YES.
