The CFP Selection Process has a BIG Problem Now...

[topdecktiger]

First TAM was smoked because they were heavily favored to win the game vs Miss State. The CFP is seen to be favoring the $ec and the BIG. And I don't really care about what happened two years ago. The ACC is being disrespected, period.

GO CARDS - BEAT EVERYBODY!!! God Bless America!!!

The ACC isn't disrespected. Clemson is #2, and Louisville is #6. Who else is supposed to be up there? Florida St? They're 6-3. You're saying the committee is favoring the SEC and Big Ten, but there isn't anybody else to put in those slots.

Why not FSU?

The POC says they like SoS, and FSU has the 2nd toughest. (In the site I looked at)

So if a 1 loss team, with the 66th toughest is/was 4th, why not FSU at 6 -10? Penn St is up there with 2 losses. (No idea what SoS is)

Washington is in there with a lousy SoS.

So maybe SoS isn't that big a factor after all.

Maybe it's like I've preached. It's just another tool to be used by the POC to keep outsiders out, and insiders in.

If the conference championship process is allowed to restructure to select the two best teams in each conference--and not necessarily the division champs--you would have de facto quarterfinal games, in some cases, built into those championship games and no need to add another weekend and round of games.

This year, for example, you'd probably have Clemson v. U of L, tOSU v. Michigan (unless the loser gets drilled in their rival game), Bama v. A&M/LSU/Auburn, and Washington v. USC(?) Still no auto-bids, but those games would determine the CFP entries in at least the ACC and Big Ten games. Bama may be in anyway (unless they got drilled), and the fourth team would be Washington or, if they lose, the best of the rest incl. the Big XII.

Playing champ games like Clemson v. Va Tech are just date-fillers and money-makers...

If you've already beaten a team once, why play them again? I guess I like your idea in principle, but we need a larger playoff and we need autobids for conference champs.
