The problem is that the conferences have expanded so much since 2003, it used to be every team played every other team in the conference, you simply can’t do that anymore.

The NFL and NBA, and virtually every other league on the planet uses a simple mathematical formula to determine its playoff participants and there are no complaints, controversies, or confusion. If a team doesn't make it, they only have themselves to blame (like the Mets this year).

The CFP must eliminate its selection committee starting next year. There's too much bewilderment and human bias.

In the old Pacific Eight, my team, the USC Trojans, played every team during the season. I was totally opposed to expanding the conference--besides, the new members were from Arizona, Utah and Colorado, which are not on the Pacific Coast.
