Another year, another playoff committee controversy. At this point, the details don’t really matter, and unless you are a fan of one of the programs involved, it is hard to stay all that interested in the details of this year’s debate. Only the details change, but it’s the same argument over and over.
The issue is not who the Playoff Committee selected, it is the fact they lack any sort of transparency or legitimacy in making their selection. The standard of choosing the “four best” nearly allowed the committee to ignore the results of the football season and put two-loss Georgia into the field on gut instinct over two one-loss Power 5 conference champions.
