Personally I feel this committee is going to get thrown under the bus big time by everyone when controversy strikes. Then we will expand the playoffs again.

Should have kept the BCS rankings and expanded it out to four teams. At least then you knew the criteria.

My thoughts exactly. If your #4 (just be happy you are getting a shot). #5 you can't be that upset

My thoughts exactly. They're in an impossible situation. At least the polls spread the blame over a few hundred people and some computers. This feels like a step backward, but I'm curious as to how they will run the process. Adopt rules and you risk letting a shitty team sneak in, don't adopt rules and it's open season for the biggest tv market.

All the data will still be in place, human polls and computer polls.

It will be like the NCAA tournament in basketball where the committee will take the human polls and computer polls and select the teams.

With less teams to examine (likely top 15 or so in the polls) the committee will have an easier job to see whose data is being greatly manipulated like in the BCS where the #5-8 team in the human polls was #1 in several of the computer polls.
