Should be sending royalty checks to the committee. Easiest paths to the semis.
Oregon got screwed. They should be national champs after a bowl against some overmatched team and instead are gonna face 3 brutal games against Ohio state Texas and Georgia. Or state Penn again.
You're right. There are some seasons when you don't need post-season games to identify the best team. This is one of them.
The CCGs and playoffs aren't designed to identify the best team. They're designed to identify a champion.
