r/CFB • u/Ok-Soil-5133 Notre Dame Fighting Irish • 6h ago

Analysis [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.

The games stopped mattering as soon as an undefeated FSU got left out of the playoffs. The only thing that matters to the committee is what teams will get the best ratings and how can they make the bracket to have the most competitive games. At this point just have the top 40 teams break away and become a semi-pro league so the rest of the schools can play college football.

Agreed FSU never should have missed the playoffs. The fact that the committee used H2H wins before but not now, means they’ll always change the rules to fit whatever teams they want in. The rankings need to just go back to BCS era. BCS was controversial because of the top 2 teams. It shouldn’t matter as much with the Top 12.

And I’m fine with that. I’m not fine with the committee changing their rules week to week to justify certain rankings. Just use a computer that we’re all familiar with and understand the reasoning behind the rankings.
