Official CFP Selection Freakout Thread

If FSU is left out, then playoff selections were made based strictly on subjective opinions.

It would completely disregard the most important part of sports: playing games and outcomes.

Picking Alabama over FSU because “experts” think they may be better is hot garbage.

What about point 4 of the protocol?
 
Last second prediction:

1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. Texas
4. Alabama

CFP committee bailed out by Travis's injury.

SEC/Big Ten stans complaining that Michigan/Alabama is the 'real national championship'.
 
I don't understand all the people making declarative statements that Alabama (and Georgia and Ohio State) is the "best" team when compared to Florida State.

Based on what other than personal, subjective opinion from a conditioning bias which tells you that the SEC and B1G are better?

Totally.

The Big Ten/SEC stans out there would have you believe that the 'real' playoff would be Michigan, Ohio State, Georgia, and Alabama, when any objective measurement says that Washington is no less than the #2 team in the nation.

Far too much time on my hands, but here goes.

There's 32 possible outcomes for 5 games, I'm going to assume a Michigan and Texas win, but here's how I think the other 8 scenarios could play out.



5. Washington, Bama, FSU win

Should be: 1. Michigan, 2. Washington, 3. FSU, 4. Texas, as above committee maybe does this if Rodemaker has a stellar game

Committee does: 1. Michigan, 2. Washington, 3. Texas, 4. Bama


Of course, all of that is probably nonsense, and somehow Bama and Georgia both end up in.

I'll stand by this prediction from Tuesday.

It's going to be Bama and Texas.

Not to mention that even with the 3 point repeat win over Oregon, Washington has nearly as many question marks as FSU.

If you're huffing B1G/SEC farts and really think Bama is undeniably way, way better than FSU, then why not:

1. Michigan
2. Bama
3. Georgia
4. Ohio State

It's because they are missing their best player. Their QB had a QBR of 12.7 last night. You can't ignore the fact that Travis is out.

Because of the protocol.

The teams are comparable at the margin IMO. If the Conmittee believes so, point 4 applies. If not, it doesn’t play.

If both teams had one loss, then the Jordan Travis part of point 4 would matter, but wins and losses come first. Not to mention FSU has won multiple games without Travis, including over a top 10 Louisville team.

That’s an incorrect interpretation of the protocol.
