For the fifth time, the College Football Playoff will begin their six week journey of toying with the emotions of the sports’ fanbase and trying to justify each week how certain teams move up and down and why certain conferences end up getting more of a benefit of the doubt as opposed to other leagues.
If I sound a little cynical, it’s because this was a system who in the first year had the defending national champions from FSU football – the only undefeated team that season, mind you – third in the final standings and has sent teams the last two seasons to the system without actually winning their own conference division.
