What the actual heck?
Seriously, this has been a less contentious and controversial CFP year, comparatively, so why bail out on the job? And what the hell does an Arkansas guy have any business being the chair of this? Has anyone noticed that they don’t give a crap about football in Arkansas anymore?
Welp, as some of y’all say, this is all flagellant and made up, anyway. So what does it matter, anyway?
Just put a bunch of 20 something snot nosed MBA Disney executives in place and quit pretending football knowledge and fairness matters.
There shouldn’t be a committee.
This is the 21st century..we use computers to do everything from controlling our washing machines to landing our jets (yes they do..commercial jets have “auto-land” functions that can put ‘er on the concrete smoother than a human pilot..with zero visibility from fog and darkness).
People can be biased or ignorant about CFB, dishonest (does Disney favor fairness over viewer #s ?) etc.
Some can be all.
Selection and seeding should be done by an unbiased computer that actually has strength of schedule programmed as a major parameter for selection and can’t be swayed by loud mouthed game announcers and cfb pundits with an ax to grind or another committee member with strong persuasion skills etc. A computer won’t be in awe of Notre Dame’s legacy and following, or Ohio State’s cupcake schedule, or how large or small a television market would be with this match-up or that match-up.
A computer is cold-assed accurate..
A win over any SEC team..esp on the road…is a heck of a lot more impressive than a win over Purdue or one of the other B1G midgets.
(see, I’m biased. I admit it and will not run for, or accept a nomination to be on the CFP committee..although the meetings at fancy resorts would be tempting.)
If “taking SOS into consideration” is done with human perceptions and not actual, available, programmable, literal, indisputable data, it’s little more than opinion…aka bullshit.
I think the bylaws say that the chair must be a sitting AD and the Baylor AD who was there before Yurachek took a leave of absence due to an investigation of him by the school. The investigation is not related to his dressing down of Baylor on the sideline and supposedly not related to Title IX issue from previous years.
