If the goal of the committee is to pick the best teams in the land then USC should be in the CFP. We are the hottest in the country, doesn't the

It should work that way but apparently doesn’t. We had 0 bad losses. Bama, Old Miss had at least one and Miami had 2 - in the past 3 weeks! Georgia pulls one out in 8 OT and moves up but I guess the other teams losses forces that.

I don't know what the committee's job is.

It's not to pick the 12 best teams. It's not to pick the most deserving teams. It's not to pick the 12 most competitive teams.

After all these years of observing the different "systems" for determining a CFB champ, it seems obvious the job of the "committee" is to be the public face tasked with explaining what their taskmasters desire - the matchups they deem most profitable for them - while not revealing that truth.

They don't even have to give an evaluation of all the donuts they eat while composing the next word salad they have to spew to Rece Davis.

The goal of the committee is to maximize the number of viewers of the CFP.
I would agree with this sentiment. It is like pro wrestling and Clemson and Dabo are a babyface. Ohio State and Ryan Day are heels.

The committee is there to create controversy. Think about it. The more controversy, the more people get on here and complain, watch talking heads opinions, watch games, the list goes on and on. It all leads itself to one item. Money
