Hey there, College Playoff Committee..

I decided to chime in on this new College Playoff Committee. I was excited about the idea for a playoff system to determine the national champion in college football. I would have set it up a different way but that is another post waiting to happen. When I heard there would be a committee that would decide each week who was in the top 4, I gave it shot. It's like After last night's selection, this committee has lost credibility in my eye. Florida State, while not blowing teams out, is undefeated on the season so far. The fact that this committee jumped an one loss Oregon team is ridiculous. They say it's because the number of quality wins against top 25 opponents. In their shortsightedness, the committee forgot that Florida State has beaten three top 25 teams this season(the same amount as Oregon). You can't hold it against FSU that Louisville dropped out the top 25 after they beat them a few weeks ago. Hold on, that's right now exactly what is happening now. Even though you have the same amount of quality wins through the season, the deciding factor would be..HOW MANY LOSSES YOU HAVE! The committee's view on this issue is like them saying "Well, we just don't like the way you win". Are you kidding me?!?! No one questioned how ugly Auburn won last year. That is just one of the issues they bring to the table. I'm sure Alabama and Baylor fans are just as upset about the rankings. If they are going to screw up this bad, wait until the end of the year to make the selection like college basketball. If not, get a better system in place to remove the "sexy" aspect from the equation. Thank you for making me cherish the AP and Coaches Polls.
