It's less "I know better" and more "why be inconsistent now (2022)?!?"
But also, the committee isn't just ranking the teams. They're judged by the public and have to face the masses. That's why the FSU thing this year was a big hullabaloo. They kept TCU ranked (likely) due to 'deserve' over 'belong' and then the next year did the opposite for the Noles.
Issue of consistency.
Like a team not dropping 1 spot after a loss to a lower-ranked team. I'm still not sure that had ever happened before. Ever.
Inconsistent.
.
It's not about my ego or SEC teams being benefitted.
You thinking it's inconsistent is still "I know better".
You think they're treating losses (or in FSU's case, not losses but injuries) inconsistently. But what if... JUST MAYBE... They
legitimately believed that TCU was the #3 team in 2022 and that FSU was the #5 team in 2023.
To you,
some yahoo on the internet, that's inconsistency. But you weren't in the room. You don't know what arguments were made either way. Maybe the reasoning they were using to decide both cases was perfectly consistent.
You think you're smarter, or more ethical, or more consistent, than the CFP committee. A group of bona fide college football experts. You think that any decision they make different from one you'd make must be driven by their concern about "being judged by the public", when they literally just excluded an undefeated P5 conference champion, ALSO something that had never happened before.
Face it. You disagree with them,
so they're wrong. That's the definition of "I know better".
