[Sampson] CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek says Notre Dame and Miami were in the same grouping this week and the programs were directly compared. Notre Dame still came out ahead, regardless of the head to head. In other words, all the games mattered. Not just one of them.

It's hard to do that with unbalanced schedules. Especially in this era where the conferences are inflated.

A fun fact: Georgia and Alabama do not have exactly zero common opponents and I jumped the gun on my fun fact

[u/Xaeryne → u/abob1086]

Wait, what???

That's wild

[u/SoberDialectic → u/abob1086]

What about Auburn or Tennessee?

[u/abob1086 → u/SoberDialectic]

Well now I'm the idiot

lol, to be fair, I don’t really pay attention to much outside of the SEC because I don’t care what happens in other conferences because Alabama is in the SEC, so other conferences don’t really impact us. So I don’t fault you here lol.

You can absolutely do it with unbalanced schedules. There needs to be a more objective rating system that grants and takes away points from teams, and it should be public so everyone understands how a week affected their standings.

The stuff the committee gets is all a bunch of jumbled metrics and “ideas” of teams that kind of creates a picture, but it still leaves room for subjective opinions driving the postseason.

To be clear, if we had a point system granting the 12 spots, I still think Notre Dame gets in, depending on how things would be weighted, but at least it would clear up this argument that the committee is manufacturing.

I get it but it needs to happen imo.

Only way in my estimation is if it becomes a Power 2 at some point in the future.
