My conclusion from reading this is that the “Committee” does not do the work they say they do in evaluating the teams. Nothing has changed, it is still all about the name and patch on the jersey.

All about the money. Alabama brings in more than Ole Miss or South Carolina for the Networks. There has always been a pecking order in the SEC when it comes to football and Georgia and Alabama are at the top. Texass is making a push to get up there and may just do it with an SEC Championship this weekend. They already toppled GA and Bama in the Recruiting Rankings for 2025 at Number 1, Bama was 2nd and Georgia at 3.
OU was 16th.

Totally agree

Miami has no reason to bitch about anything. They have lost two out of their last three games to unranked teams, and their "signature wins" this year are against unranked Duke and Louisville.

Yet Bama lost to OU plus Vandy and you think they have an argument to be in?

Just to clarify my beliefs, no 3 loss team who is sitting at home while not in the CCG should never have a bitch for being left out. They are not risking that 4th loss like some other team is with even 2 losses or less.

If Clemson beats SMU then I believe SMU should still get in considering they won the regular season ACC Championship and would only have 2 losses. However you can bet this committee will drop SMU bellow Bama. If you dont or cant see the Bama bias that exist with them then you are either blind or just dont want to acknowledge the bias exist.

BTW, I hate Miami but I can see the argument.

Alabama has wins over #5 Georgia, #14 South Carolina and #19 Missouri, so they absolutely should be in over Miami. Maybe there's an argument for Ole Miss or South Carolina over Alabama, but Miami no way.

You think Mizzou is top 25? 0-3 vs ranked teams and best win is BC. They are ranked based on that SEC patch. LSU now at 25, you dont think that happened without a reason for it.

One last thing, read what the writer is saying. The article is making a point to call out all the hypocritical stuff they have done over the years. They control the fate of the teams that get and change the way they have approached the method each and every year. They change the data year to year to get what they want. They are suppose to have “rules” but change them based on that human opinion.

I have said it from the beginning, the committee stinks and has much human bias in it as polls do.

I think in a couple of years the human element is going to be taken out of it. Sankey and the Big Ten commissioner have already broached this in some preliminary discussions. Expect to see some kind of "super conference" consisting of the SEC and Big Ten, with structured scheduling and divisions much like the NFL does. The playoff seeds will be determined by division standings, wild cards, etc., so there won't be any controversy since humans won't be voting on who gets in and who gets left out. That's the direction I would expect to see in a couple of years.

I hope so. Just create a 64 team , 8 conf , 8 teams league with conf winners in and 8 WC using the NFL method.

BTW I thought I read somewhere ( Think it was Stanford) hired a GM to overlook the FB program.
