Mandel: CFP committee got it right with LSU at No. 1

Key notes from Stewart Mandel interview

• I hate to be a cop-out, but I think there was no wrong answer. There was a case for LSU moving up with the resounding win over a number four ranked team. If it had gone the other way, you could say that Ohio State has more Top 25 wins and has won every game by double digits; that would have made sense to me too. It has a significant impact to be the No. 1 team playing No. 4 than it does to be in the No. 2 vs. No. 3 game.
