[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 983348, member: 5618"] How do you think the Public would react if the 4 CFP teams were picked by a computer ranking and they picked Georgia the Day after Georgia LOST to Alabama in at SEC Conference Championship Game and they both had only one loss. The sporting world would lose their minds and rightfully so! The lack of transparency in the Committee inner workings is a problem. The lack of actual football expertise with the committee members is a problem. The influence of ESPN is a problem. The current system is chock full of problems. Those problems pale in comparison to a computer system who picks the team that just lost a game the day before in a Conference Championship Game over the team that beat them. GT grads often think everything can be solved with good algorithms. That is 100% false when there is not enough data for reasonable analysis. That is the case in College Football at the FBS level. Comparative data is not nearly good enough to make valid decisions. Have you heard many complaints about the FCS playoffs? They have 24 teams with 10 automatic bids and the rest chosen at large by a committee. The committee also does the seeding. They actually get a real Champion! Input from computer rankings makes sense as there are many to choose from. Humans need to be involved. [/QUOTE]
