Sorry Farmer, just trying to gauge others thoughts on this playoff committee. Do you agree that one of the reasons for a playoff was to satisfy the public's desire to take out the subjectivity and settle things on the field? How does it get more objective than an actual result between two teams that played each other already?

That one game only makes up 1/12 or ~8% of the entire season. The WVU game also made up 1/12 of the entire season. TCU went 1-0 & BU went 0-1. To me the head to head matters little when you factor in common opponents where TCU has the edge. From there you look at non common opponents and a win over Minny tops a win over Buffalo. I'm am perfectly fine with TCU getting in. Teams should not be rewarded for scheduling Northwestern St, Buffalo and SMU.

You are just way off base here. A head to head matchup is infinitely more important than a common opponent. It's not even comparable.

when the first cfpc poll came out, ole miss was ranked ahead of bama because of 'head to head' ole miss won. now keep in mind that ole miss had just gotten beat the saturday before the poll came out. the cfpc totally ignored that fact and looked at their 'h t h' win over bama. now, the 'h t h' baylor victory over tcu is basically not relevant.

my take, this committee is in the business of matching up whoever they want. they will use whatever metrics, stats, talking points they have to in order to achieve their desired outcome. ignoring a loss, highlighting a loss, ignoring head to head, highlighting head to head, this week, last week none is a constant. as i have said before, the only constant has been, style points, style points, style points. its sad for college football that they finally get a system to determine a real on field champ and they muck up everything with this committee.

O.K. Fine.

Then after the playoffs are complete, you have to go back and determine which team had the best record/body of work for that entire season and crown them national champions.

You can't have it both ways.

Under your "system" in some years, the playoff champion would also be crowned national champion.

Some years, however, a team that didn't even play in the playoffs would/could be crowned national champions.

BRILLIANT!
