"For many of us, today's decision by the committee has forever damaged the credibility of the institution that is the College Football Playoff," Alford said. "And, saddest of all, it was self-inflicted. They chose predictive competitiveness over proven performance; subjectivity over fact. They have become a committee of prognosticators. They have abandoned their responsibility by discarding their purpose to evaluate performance on the field."

100% spot on. This will have an impact long term.
And so it begins
I would have used a lot more swear words
How long term considering this is the last 4 team playoff?
Whatever, he pretty much just rehashed their mandate.
If FSU played Bama's schedule, would they still be undefeated? Maybe ask that crybaby this question.
Where was all this hand ringing for A&M after 2020? Everyone sat back quiet then, so don't care about your school now.
That is the best euphemism for, "This is bull****," that I've ever read.
The next acc ad meetings are going to must see tv with the committee chair being from nc state.
Should be a lawsuit coming. Would be interesting if they could get the committees emails and text messages in discovery.

Except this is the final year of this system, so in reality it will have zero impact moving forward.
No one is going to give a **** about which 13th ranked two loss team is left out.

Would have been undefeated. Prove me wrong.

Would sip?
As a fan of the game it completely makes me not want to watch anymore. Even the Ags. The entire fan base was just told it doesn't matter what you do on the field. Only who you play for. They took the 'sport' out of the sport.
They should be mad. Even with a QB out, their defense is good enough to be competitive in any game.
They have a better SOR than Texas, their win this week was better than Texas's, and they were ranked above Texas last week. They're the first team to be dropped out of the top 4 rankings in the last week for winning.
The committee was scared to leave Texas out. And that's pathetic.

FSU is an undefeated conference champion. We didn't even win our division because we got blown out in our one loss. Not even comparable.
Very well stated.
The 12 team playoff has discrete rules on who gets in.
Next year all the P5 conference champs get in and the rest is based on rankings.

I have heard of ears ringing but hand ringing is a new one. Is it a side effect of the covid vaccine?
The last shred of credibility college football had just went out the window. Congratulations dimwits! You've proven you have no integrity.

We weren't undefeated conference champs…

no proven performance with backup QB's

Get your point, but when you take the 'sport' out of the sport it's gonna have consequences

Bama played Bama's schedule and wasn't undefeated and looked bad in many games. People already forget it took a miracle to beat a bad Auburn team two weeks ago.
Do you guys want to see the 4 best teams, or a team without a quarterback get stomped? I'd much rather watch a full-strength Bama team.

2-0 including a win over the #14 team.

Exactly. So next time when someone say "Doesn't matter, just win" I'll laugh my ass off.
But they also beat 9-3 LSU, 10-2 Ole Miss, and 12-1 Georgia. They have by far the better resume in comparison to FSU.
The committee was just trying to spread it around and they screwed up. Sip schedule was weak and one game win over Alabama was the key. Georgia is the team that got screwed.

No one thought…I'm going to suggest we allow losers in the "playoffs" to advance because we "think" they have a better chance to win.
Really? Next year it will be the 12th spot causing this type of unfairness.amercer said:riverrataggie said:
