These aren’t the ‘four best teams.' Not by our count.
The College Football Playoff selection committee explained its decision to swap out Florida State, the undefeated ACC champion, from the playoff field in favor of Alabama, the SEC’s one-loss champion, as a mission to insert the “four best teams” into the field.
The committee also conjured up some other previously unheard of reasoning as justification for making the unprecedented move of rejecting an undefeated Power Five champion from the playoff.
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams opine that the committee erred in its field of No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Washington, No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Alabama.
