CFP committee doesn't make any sense. It's clearly a bunch of backroom politics with no transparency and no actual measurable criteria. I still can't fathom why they threw out the system they had before for selecting teams and just used the top 4 from the BCS formula to seed the playoffs. Oklahoma winning by 1 point at home against a decimated TCU team pushes them up to number 3? What made Iowa suddenly a great team? What did the shitshow that happened in Colombus do to convince the committee that MSU deserved to go up to 5? Mind boggling...and it could all shift again next week even if all the teams in the top 6 win.

I figured ND was going down, but listening to Long, the bad win against the Eagles wasn't even the defining reason everyone jumped up. The quality wins by OU, MSU, and Iowa this week were what pushed them up. Because beating Purdue made all the difference in considering Iowa to be top 4 material vice the previous weeks.
Just make the fucking playoff 8 teams and the drama gets vastly alleviated.

If no one else is planning to do one I can throw one together a little later.

I sit here wondering, what happens if:
Penn State beats MSUn
Nebraska beats Iowa
Michigan beats OSUn
Iowa beats Michigan/whomever in Indy
Okie State beats OU
TCU beats Baylor
Stanford beats ND
Oregon? beats Stanford in CCG
Who the fuck gets in
To make Armageddon happen, toss in USCe/Sakerlina or UNC beating Clemson and 2 loss Florida beating Alabama.
Does the 4 become something like this:
FSU
UNC
Navy
Northwestern
Or is it enough bullshit to happen to cause teams to literally stay in place with a loss

BC is bad but they still have the statistically best defense in the country and it's a rivalry game for them. BC has spoiled ND seasons several times, but never by losing.
The committee's own rankings clearly don't factor into their decision since both Alabama and Iowa only have 1 win versus the CFP top 25 (Iowa's win is more impressive based on their rankings, btw) while ND has two (and their best win against the top 25 is better than both Iowa's and Alabama's based on those rankings).
For FSU to have even a remote shot at getting in, UNC would have to lose to NCSt, Clemson lose to USCe, and then lose to UNC. Along with all the other stuff you posted.
Nike U and Furd are in the same division. It will be Stanford vs. the winner of UCLA/USC.

Alabama's schedule is loaded with teams between 25-37, where most teams drops off way, way back. Playing 9 FBS teams with winning records, compared to ND's 5, Clemson's/OU's/MSUn's 6 and Iowa's 3.
I also don't care how good the stats are on BC's defense. They are 3-8, dead last in the ACC. If Alabama looks terrible and squeeks out a win against Auburn, I now expect them to be outside the top 4, and hoping that Florida beats FSU, to have one last shot to win against a "ranked" team (even one as dead fishy as they are right now)
it just feels like a mid-way solution until we end up with an 8 team playoff where ranking won't matter outside of seeding since it'll just be whoever wins their conference goes in. Conference championship games would be technically be the start of the 16 team playoff, but only 8 would be inter-conference.
This means the Big 12 needs to get an actual championship game.
same.
