My one Beef with committee rankings every year.

They clearly don't use the full criteria regarding non champions versus champions once they have gone past the top 4.
it doesn't really matter, but the last 4 years they have had:
Georgia over Oregon 2019
Georgia over Ohio St 2018
Auburn over USC 2017
Penn St and Michigan over Oklahoma 2016
Why do the rankings not have the "unequivocally better" standard for placing non conference champs above conference champs in rankings once they have moved past the top 4?

Great thread. Would read again 10/10.

Is that y’all are never in the top 25?

Is that it never applies to Ole Miss?

To be fair, Ole Miss was in the very first committee ranking to ever come out. So, your assertion is, very much in fact, wrong.

They do seem to change their criteria up to fit whoever they feel is the best at the time.
It’s all too fluid for me. I’d rather them just use the BCS rankings as they are now to seed the playoff.

I have said this since the inception of the CFP.

It appears to me that the committee uses the whole season to base their opinions to get their rankings so late into the season but then base their opinions on the most recent games and their outcomes. I think "peaking" at the end of the season has a lot more to do with their selections as opposed to peaking in game 5,6 and 7 even though two teams might have the same records at the end of the season. They will go with the one currently peaking if it's an either/or choice. I would too.

I like the idea of a playoff and even bigger one than we have but the arbitrary application of the criteria by selection committee is a bit, well, hard to follow.
I kind of liked the BCS in terms of how things were selected, 1/3 computers, 1/3 harris poll, 1/3 coaches poll.
Maybe for the playoff institute something similar where the regular polls mean something, then have a computer ranking involved, and the committee having their own vote.
1/3 committee poll
1/3 Coaches + AP poll
1/3 computer rankings

the committee this year had a very easy decision in terms of who to include in the top 4. the LSU OSU debate their toughest decision. I tend to think Oregon is actually better than Georgia or Oklahoma but I am not a fan of using the eyetest to override actual results and am glad they were not considered for 4th.
On the one hand, Im glad the committee wasnt in a position to screw it up, because you hate to see a team get hosed, but on the other hand, I dont really think things are going to change until the committee does get it badly wrong.

In fairness when it fits their desired narrative they don't have standard prioritizing conference champs in the top 4. #It'sATerribleSystem
