It’s the illusion of fairness.
Polling bias will continue.
Blue bloods will be awarded byes.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The only reason a committee still exists is so the powers in charge can still manipulate things and align teams for playoff pairings. Behind closed doors they probably still use the BCS computer and then just moves teams around a little.

It will allow SEC ADs to keep mediocre coaches around a long time because every 3 years or so they at least went 8-4 and made the playoffs.

This

The teams that play nobody all year will get byes and home field. SEC teams will be beat up, play an extra game away from home and have an uphill battle to win a national championship every single year.

The SEC with Greg Sankey is designed by the B1G to keep the SEC OUT of the NC game. When all this is said and done and Sankey is gone I'll bet we find out he has been for years accepting some sort of pay from outside media/B1G powers. But by then it will be too late

While much of that may be true, all p4 + ND teams will now be required to play at least 10 p4 games.

You don’t deserve any playoffs.

Yeah but it now includes more participation trophies where everyone will get to say they made the playoffs. Etc
