When the College Football Playoff bracket was revealed, chaos followed, as it always does. Fans argued, pundits debated, and fingers were pointed squarely at the selection committee and its chairman, Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek. Now that the first round of the CFP is officially in the books, we can finally ask the question that actually matters: Did the committee get it right?
Under the rules and circumstances they were given, the answer is yes.
The opening round played out mostly as expected. There were a few outright beatdowns, looking at you Group of Five teams, but there were also competitive and entertaining matchups that reminded us why expansion was needed in the first place.
