College Football Playoff Committee missed the mark...
Tip of the hat to many Alabama football fans who said that Oklahoma and Notre Dame didn't belong. Tide fans maintained that neither Notre Dame or Oklahoma belonged in the four-team playoff. No doubt, Notre Dame surely didn't. I always thought Oklahoma was marginal at best. Notre Dame played a cush schedule that hid an obvious fact. The Irish were not ready for prime time. I also believe had Alabama wanted to score 75 points they could have. In the blink of an eye, the Tide had a three-touchdown lead, and then it was four. I'll give kudos to Kyler Murry. He was as advertised. Without the gifted signal caller, I doubt Oklahoma would have won five games. The Committee missed this year's selections big time. Clearly, Alabama and Clemson are the two best teams. I would have included Georgia and Ohio State if I had a vote.
Oklahoma played in a little league conference. They got a mulligan to beat Texas in the Big 12 Championship game. No disrespect to the little league ball players everywhere. But when the committee selected a one-dimensional team it was going to have a bad ending. By picking Notre Dame the Committee showed that selecting the four best teams wasn't their goal. They picked three conference champions and one independent. It is time to penalize the Irish for their lack of confidence to man up and play in a real league.
The fact that Clemson and Alabama will once again play in the National Championship game is due to the fact that southern football is superior to any league or independents. I think UCF may have been better than Notre Dame. Alabama fans can be thankful that the weekly games in the SEC prepare teams for a playoff system. Bama fatigue is apparent, but the Committee got it right in the past with selecting the bully boy of the SEC. Alabama was the fourth team one season and still won the national title.
