[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 983019, member: 1555"] It's behind a paywall, but Stewart Mandel has one of the best takedowns of the CFP committee's decision logic that I've seen so far. [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/5115651/2023/12/06/mandel-mailbag-fsu-playoff-portal/?source=dailyemail&campaign=601983[/URL] Some key points: After last weekend, Texas jumped 4 spots in their rankings after beating a 9-3 team that had lost to a pair of 6-6 teams. Meanwhile, FSU drops a spot after beating a 10-2 team. If anything, they should have left out Texas. Putting in Texas over FSU makes no sense objectively. If the CFP's explanation is that they didn't think FSU was capable of winning the title, then the committee was doing its job wrong for the previous nine seasons. Cincinnati in 2021 and TCU in 2022 are the most recent examples. No one could have argued that they really thought those teams were capable of beating Bama or Georgia. But the committee included them because they had earned their opportunities. [/QUOTE]
