Joel Klatts hate for the CFP Committee

[ZB4CY]

I couldn't agree more with what Joel Klatt has been saying about the committee the past couple of weeks.

The complete lack of awareness this committee has shown. Do they even watch the games? He makes a great point when he says that we can't trust them because they're so inconsistent.

He also talked about it on The Herd yesterday as well.

 

[khardbored]

Agree.

Joel Klatt is probably the most objective national analyst out there..might be since he is a former Big 12 player and knows the crap the Big 12 (and the Pac 12) gets year after year when it comes to anything pinning conferences against eachother. To say Oklahoma is behind Clemson due to its loss to ISU is absolutely asinine. Even though none of the other national analysts will admit it, Clemson's loss to Syracuse was much, much worse.

Edit: Michigan being ranked ahead of West Virginia is also asinine. It is showing so easily that they are trying their hardest to make sure the Big Ten isn't left out by giving Wisconsin a "ranked opponent" to further justify getting them into the playoffs if they run the table.

Klatt is exactly correct!

 

[Cyclonepride]

I love Joel Klatt. Definitely one of my favorite guys. Hopefully speaking the truth doesn't get him in the doghouse, because he should be on the A list.

I've always maintained the blue-bloods have huge advantage in this process. When the likes of tOSU, Notre Dame, and Miami get selected. the networks and sports media praise the committee knowing is will mean better viewership.

The CFP must be destroyed.

It’s ******* rediculous to say that the Iowa State loss is worse than Syracuse. Iowa State is a good football team.

 

[JimmyChitwood]

Joel Klatt is the best in the business today.

There argument is not that a loss to Iowa State is worse than Syracuse. They factor in that Clemson's QB was injured during the game despite the fact they were losing when he went down.
I've always hated how they factor in injuries. It's a part of the game.

 

[ArgentCy]

The fact that TCU dropped 6 spots after losing to OU and everyone lumps them with all the Big XII terrible defenses are the ones showing their ignorance.

 

[CyInDFW]

Last year for Ohio State it was all about quality wins, now the committee wants to switch to the quality losses narrative to benefit Eastern schools. It all comes down to OU winning out. If they take care of business they're in.

Clemson fans talking about their QB being hurt in the Syracuse game is funny. OU had four starters out vs ISU (yes I know our own injury report for that game). Clemson was already behind when their QB went down as well.

Keep preaching Joel. Too many biases in this system, it needs to change.

I wouldn't put a whole lot of money on that. They can always say " Oh we respected them, we had them in there for a few weeks in fact. They just didn't pass the eye test coming down the stretch" I will say this - if Ohio State wins out, they'll be in.

I agree.. even if OU wins out... I'd still be sittin on pins and needles if I were them come selection day.

With this committee, anything is possible.

Agree! If Ohio State wins out...I bet they make it!

 

[DeereClone]

Klatt is spot on - hopefully more people join him so we can get rid of this system and start over.

8 team playoff - 5 conference champs auto-bid. Bring back the BCS ranking system and the 3 highest BCS ranked teams that aren't auto-bids get the 3 at-large spots. Take the human element out of it.

The BCS rankings themselves weren't flawed, the flaw was that the BCS rankings were trying to pick two teams to play in the title game, which is a terribly hard thing to do.

 

[HFCS]

Expanding from 2 to 4 was good (8 would be good too, beyond that is a debate). Everything else about the CFP is a step backwards. It should have been a massive improvement going from 2 to 4 but they managed to make it just a slight improvement.

95% of teams would be completely eliminated with two blowout losses. Not Ohio State.

 

[SoapyCy]

blow it up. 6 spots. each conference gets one - each conference decides how the winner is chosen (standings vs championship game, etc). committee picks last wildcard and ranks the teams. i'd rather complain about a 1-6 ranking than which teams even deserve a shot.
