Yep.
It’s true. Heck, if you think about it, the College Football Playoff Selection
Committee (CFPSC) isn’t just un-American. It’s downright Communist. Think about it.

Potentially,
the two most egregious omissions from the College Football Playoff exist in
the Big 12 and Southeastern (SEC) Conferences. First, while Baylor and TCU both
have identical conference and overall records and Baylor beat TCU in a
head-to-head game, the Communist Party . . . er, I mean, the CFPSC has ranked TCU
higher than Baylor, which means TCU may get a berth in the first college football playoff and Baylor may not. Second, either Georgia or Missouri, currently ranked 9th
and 17th, respectively by the committee, will win the SEC East Division. The Bulldogs or the Tigers will then play the winner of the SEC
West Division, either Alabama, currently ranked #1, or Mississippi State, #4 for the SEC
Championship. However, if either Georgia or Missouri earn that title by actually winning the SEC,
it is unlikely under the CFPSC that either will earn one of the coveted four
playoff spots due to nebulous reasons like "body of work," "Top 25 wins," or something else.
What
if there was a committee for the NFL or Major League Baseball and the Patriots
or the Dallas Cowboys or the New York Yankees or San Francisco Giants, in spite
of having won their respective divisions, are not included in a playoff because
the committee decided that their schedule wasn’t strong enough or that they
didn’t have enough “quality wins?”
That
would be idiotic, right?
Here’s The Single Father's Guide answer. The NCAA College Football playoffs expand from four teams to eight
teams and merit determines the playoff spots. Each of the winners of the five “power
conferences,” the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC, and PAC-12, are in. Then, as in a
representative republic, coaches of all NCAA Division I Football teams vote for
the next three schools, similar to a wild card system, based on the
proportional populations of its student body. For example, a school that has a student body of 30,000 would have three times the weight of a school that only has a student body of 10,000. Merit is rewarded, as potentially are special
cases such as independents like Notre Dame, which plays a strong schedule each
year, the small conference powerhouses like Marshall and Boise State if the non-conference schedule is reasonable, and the hard-luck teams like an
undefeated or one-loss power conference team that loses its conference
championship.

Is
any system perfect? Well, no. Moreover,
there will always be subversives who want to undermine a merit system for those
who believe they know better. At least with “The Single Father’s Guide to the
NCAA College Football Playoffs,” we’d be starting with the subversives NOT running
the system.
