Steven A Moderator No. 1 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Here are the protocols from when the championship was established. Clear as mud. Although there is a great bullet point "Strength of schedule, head‐to‐head competition and championships won must be specifically applied as tie‐breakers between teams that look similar" Too bad Mullens isn't still on the committee as I am not sure we have any voice now. https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol.aspx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Playoff committee needs to own up on the protocols they have established. At this time as mention before: OSU: SOR: 20th SOS: 93rd Oregon: SOR: 12th SOS: 15th Head to Head competition, Oregon won. That's the facts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 3 Share Posted October 31, 2021 With the protocols in place in 2016 tOSU was No.3 in the CFP. Penn State beat tOSU in their game, Penn State and tOSU finished tied for 1st in their Division. Due to their win, Penn State went to the Conference Championship Game, and beat Wisconsin, tOSU went to the CFP. tOSU lost to Penn State in conference, Penn State lost to Michigan in conference, 49-10 and had a non-conference loss to Pittsburgh, 42-39.

It is not a PO, it is an invitational. Disney owns ESPN and ESPN owns the ACC and SEC Networks. You practiced law. In a court of law testimony from ESPN would be excluded for bias. But in the world of CFB? Edited October 31, 2021 by Jon Joseph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This is why I never cared for how college playoff system operates. it would be great if there could ever be a true playoff system, but alas not sure if that will ever happen. Too much corruption. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyToBeADuck No. 6 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Just solidifies that the PC is nothing more than an average bowl selection committee. Just pick the teams that bring the most fans and the most television eyeballs. We should maybe just rename it to The Most Benjamin's Generated Playoffs.

nw777b No. 7 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I've always said if someone started a 16 team NIT for the CFB teams outside the top 4 Cfp teams starting in early December, ESPN's CFP would fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 8 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You know it isn't us just taking shots at ESPN.SEC et.al by saying it isn't a Playoff, it's an Invitational. Because that's what it is, The Committee Picks the teams! Division 2 has a Playoff. The NFL has Playoffs. "March Madness" does have a Committee, and how the Conference Champs are decided is a separate issue, but they are included, and the Champ needs to win 6 games! ESPN calls it a "Playoff" but it is onlyin name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
