“After four-plus months of on-field results and politicking by coaches, athletic directors and fans, the College Football Playoff selection committee announced Sunday the 12-team field.”

It’s not a championship if a committee, influenced by politicking decides who is allowed to participate.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s not a championship.

When you are talking 130+ teams in Division I, I don’t know of a better way to do it. It certainly is better than what we had before. And if you lose 2-3 games, you really don’t have anything to complain about if you don’t get in.

It’s flawed with fan support and tv revenue

Abolishing conference championships would help

But you’re back to the revenue those bring

Maybe politics has something to do with it, but I know for a fact UAB was not going to make it. Fire Trent Dilfer.

In the "Arlo and Janis" strip yesterday, Arlo is ruminating:

"I was pleased when they expanded the college football playoffs"

"I thought, finally!"

"We won't be seeing the same four teams every year"

"So why do I have the nagging suspicion we'll be seeing the same 12 teams every year?"
