Also his fact is purely wrong. FSU was never ranked by the committee. Wish he would get called out. 

Exactly! How is this not being hammered by anyone, anywhere? I get that bama is 10-2 but still

Texas should have beaten Florida.

Won't it be exciting to watch North Texas take on Oregon?😗

And who will we root for?

Good points, Texas has 3 losses, 1 worse than others puts them behind teams that don’t have 3 losses. Bama probably thought same thing last year. Good fuel to take care of Biz next year 

Which is exactly why total losses is the wrong criteria by which to classify teams.  Head to Head and Strength of Schedule must come first.  It is non critical thinkers who accept the Committee's losses first criteria.  Kind of like the good Germans in the 30s who justified accepting Hitler.

The committee ranks teams as it wants, then works backward to make it make sense. This is the fatal flaw of the Committee which invalidates all of its actions. It has negated the value of marquee match ups.  The consequence of invalidating such elevated competitive matchups means less CFB fans will be able to view them.  Which also means total revenue for the networks and the involved colleges will decline.

If Texas and other colleges with premier football programs will not speak against this obviously flawed model, then the networks must.  Kudos to Jeff for articulating the obvious flaws of this Committee of program fans and professional pundits expressing personal biases over sober evaluation.  The NCAA must do better or be kicked to the gutter by the power conference members.

Yes, but it should not be the on criterion that invalidates Head to Head records and Strength if Schedule.

You have been brainwashed by the Committee's malfeasant decision process.  Unfortunately we have many others who also lack critical thinking capabilities.  Sad time in America.

I haven’t been brainwashed…Texas lost 3 games.
 

Don’t lose 3 games (one of them being to a sub-.500 team) and we’d be in the playoffs without question. Period.

The BS gets worse every year. Bama has the worst loss of the top 15 hands down.

Until you put non-interested parties on the CFP committee, it will be flawed. End of story.
