This is an invitational. You can’t call it a playoff when you are selecting to leave the best teams out.
This is not a playoff

Whatever it is, I think viewers are turning it off in droves. I know that I am watching Game of Thrones reruns.
Who are the best teams that got left out? Georgia? Bama beat them already. LSU? Bama beat them already. UCF? Nope. The committee didn’t get it wrong, there was just one elite team and one very good team this year.
Georgia and Ohio State would be better than either of these disasters. Ohio State lost too much and Georgia had the misfortune of being in the same conference as Bama.
The main problem is college football is too top heavy. That horse has been beat to death though.
My idea of these teams losing scholarships for the next year to try and even the field is absolutely needed.
Should cut it to 75 across the board. sign 25 max per year, no counting back or any of that BS. Give the extra 10 scholarships to baseball.
75 total, and 20 max per year.....otherwise, Bama, Auburn, etc. will just process more players and continue to sign 25 per year and that doesn't accomplish anything.
It is a shame that the fix will actually be to bring the Top Teams back to the field, but it may be the only way to re-invigorate the use of Bowls in FBS.
Remember that time that LSU beat Bama in Tuscaloosa? Then the committee (wrongly in my opinion) selected Bama,to play LSU in a rematch in the national championship game over Oklahoma State. It so happened that Bama won the rematch. If UGA played again, it's possible they could win. Hell, they had them down in the 4th quarter.
Well UCF had the same record as Notre Dame and played a tougher schedule, so there is that. We will never know how UCF would have matched up to Clempsun.
Sometimes the merit loses out to the capital.
It's important to keep up appearances that everyone is on a level playing field.

The two biggest and most popular league's in the country use parity to ensure that popularity continues.
I'm pretty sure the best 2 got in. Challengers had their chances.
Maybe GA and/or OSU would have made better showings, but I think the best 2 teams will square off next week. Yes, I'm tired as hell of Bama Clempson.

That absolutely is how things go for popular, successful sports leagues in this country. And CFB already has forced parity, but it doesn't have enough....if they would take it further, it would spread more talent around and greatly enhance the popularity of the sport.
This cannot be accurate. Notre Dame played several “decent teams”. UCF’s SoS was over 100.

Every single sport in this country has an artificial means to even the playing field except NCAA sports. There are drafts and salary caps and weighted schedules. Are you not paying attention. It does not have to be equal for each school because it is already not equal. I did not watch either game today because you know what the outcome was going to be.
Yep, the NFL is communistic as hell but it works pretty well.
Can you imagine the NFL operating like MLB when the Yankees were outspending the Pentagon?

The NFL blows, but there have been plenty of dynasties in the NFL.
There is parity in college ball, you have revenue sharing and all of that ****. State has had a better record primarily due to that. There is way way more parity in college ball than there ever was previously.
Bama and Oklahoma, etc. were able to have 100+ people on scholarship in the past and they no longer can. Somebody is always going to be on top. Again, there IS way way more parity. Hell, what’s A&M, Texas and those guys problem? They have more money Han anyone else and they still can’t win it all in mainly anything.
We just happen to have a perfect storm with Saban mixed with a historic program. He’s the best college coach ever.
