College Football: The Selection Committee and the 4 Team Playoff is Not Good

Of course, in the end, neither the selection process nor the move to a playoff among four teams produced a clear cut four deserving teams.

As usual, the late Beano Cook who knew just a “little more ” (try the length and breadth of Hoover Dam, as a fraction of the margin) about college football than Condoleezza Rice (a Selection committee member) was right both about wanting no playoff in college football, and probably about the ineptitude that permeates a lot of things all around us.

Sticking to college football, “stick it” is what the selection committee did to both Big 12 contenders, Baylor and especially TCU, the latter “teased” into the third spot in the penultimate week and then left out after a (55-3) victory.

The two semi-final games are both considered one sided and I hope they will be. Warning: do not bet that they will be. The rankings and the process/obsession of having a #1 or college football champion has and always will be a perversion of an already perverted system.
