Committee rewarding Clemson- who had already played the easiest schedule in the playoff by. far. ND in round one blew my mind. Football is a game of matchups, and the hardest matchup in the playoff was anyone's defense Vs the Heisman winner/Okla offense.

I thought for sure Okla would jump over an idle ND after championship weekend.

Clemson got ND in air conditioned Dallas, while Bama chased mini mike vick around in 80 degree 80 percent humidity which led to an injury to our starting OLB.

I'll ask again... what is the point of finishing No.1 if you dont get to pick the team you play round 1. (since the committee can't figure out no one wants to play the lowest ranked team- everyone wants to play the weakest team)

Last year Clemson was no.1, and the committee rewarded them with Bama. You know damn good and well Dabo wouldn't have picked Bama to play round 1.

I agree. And you could argue that the 4th seed has been better than the 3rd in four of the five playoffs.

2014 - #4 Ohio State was much better than #3 Florida State
2015 - #4 Oklahoma was much better than #3 Michigan State
2017 - #4 Alabama was better than #3 Georgia
2018 - #4 Oklahoma was much better than #3 Notre Dame

The committee has gotten glaringly obvious things wrong every single year. That's part of why the Playoff is the worst selection system since before the Bowl Coalition.
