Correct. There is ZERO need for a 'committee'. Just use the BCS formula and take the top 11 Power 4 + Highest Group of 5 finisher. .

I think the committee is fine and easily could stay and replace the Harris and Coaches Polls human component weight of the BCS formula.

That I don't agree with. Top 12 is top 12. If a G5 makes it, great. But, don't punish 12 for a G5 team.

This game is what made people scream for a playoff so other teams besides Bama could make it.

Then Bama goes and makes 90% of the 4 team playoff, so people screamed for an expanded field. Bama gets in on a down year, and everyone's already flipping out over it.

The CFP commitee was dead on correct 100% of the time for 90% of their existence. 2023 they completley did an about face but there is zero argument against their decisiosn from 2014-2022. The ONLY thing you could argue is that first year in 2014 with the Big 12 both having teams with 1 loss but the conference didn't have a championship game at the time. Other than that they were perfectly fine.

Fun fact, since 2020, UGA has 6 losses. LSU has 24.

Sorry you have to go that far back to find a good season

Danny Lewis spurned in-state LSU for Alabama. Turned out to be a bad choice.

Career one catch for 5 yards, buried on the depth chart.

CFB as we knew it died on June 21, 2021. And, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered its scathing eulogy before kicking dirt on its grave…

College presidents, athletic directors, coaches, conference commissioners, and NCAA executives take in six- and seven-figure salaries. Colleges build lavish new facilities. But the student athletes who generate the revenues, many of whom are African American and from lower-income backgrounds, end up with little or nothing.

Everyone agrees that the NCAA can require student athletes to be enrolled students in good standing. But the NCAA's business model of using unpaid student athletes to generate billions of dollars in revenue for the colleges raises serious questions under the antitrust laws. In particular, it is highly questionable whether the NCAA and its member colleges can justify not paying student athletes a fair share of the revenues on the circular theory that the defining characteristic of college sports is that the colleges do not pay student athletes. And if that asserted justification is unavailing, it is not clear how the NCAA can legally defend its remaining compensation rules.

Nowhere else in America can businesses get away with agreeing not to pay their workers a fair market rate on the theory that their product is defined by not paying their workers a fair market rate. And under ordinary principles of antitrust law, it is not evident why college sports should be any different. The NCAA is not above the law."

You're not wrong, but I blame the NCAA. This has been discussed for decades and everyone knew players would eventually get paid. The NCAA completely fricked the whole situation up with their lack of foresight or planning. This didn't have to become the complete shite show it is today, and that's on the NCAA.
