College Football Playoff Committee - Year 1 in Review

The College Football Playoff Committee just finished up their inaugural season, and it appears most people think they got it right.  They didn't.  Baylor got fucked.  Ohio State lost to a 6-6 team at home.  Baylor lost on the road to a solid West Virginia team.  Keep in mind, West Viriginia was Alabama's best win of the season until 3 weeks ago.  And Baylor had the best win of anyone in the top 5.  The Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby should've been fired on the spot for not naming Baylor as the outright champion.  Art Briles basically tried to do it himself. 

Then Bowlsby went on Dan Patrick today and said that TCU should've been the team in the top 4.

Seriously Bob, what in the fucking fuck??  Your conference has 2 teams with one loss, and you would've chosen the team that lost the head to head matchup?  What fucking planet do you live on?  In the end, I guess it's the Big 12's fault for not having a 13th game, which coincidentally they can't since NCAA rules demand leagues have at least 12 teams for a championship game.  Gotta love conference realignment.  I bet Houston & BYU (sorry McElwain-less CSU) are licking their chops at the massive dowries they're about to receive for joining the Big 12 conference.  Or maybe they'll change the rules to allow 10 team leagues to have a championship game, but this isn't an SEC problem, so don't hold your breath.

The worst part of all of this is Ohio State.  They have the worst loss of anyone in the top 15.  They are on their 3rd string quarterblack (sorry Allie).  The Big 10 has 10 teams headed to bowl games, and they are the underdog in ALL 10 BOWLS.  Think about that.  The Big 10 is a shell of its former self, and Urban Meyer was still able to weasel his way into the playoff.  One has to wonder if Barry Alvarez had his Wisconsin Badgers intentionally lose the championship game in order to help the conference as a whole.  If Ohio State is somehow able to beat Alabama, the Big 10 will be able to ride that horse for years.

The only takeaway from Year 1 - The week to week rankings are completely fucking useless. 


PS - I know I've commented on how the trophy looks like a vagina before, but even then I thought it was all one big trophy.  Only now do I realize that there are in fact 2 vaginas and a dick as well.
