How in the hell do you get this from my posts? 
Please, explain it to me.  I have no earthly clue.
It occurs to me, once again, that you never make any effort to simply clarify what you mean, you just complain someone (many of them) misunderstand what you said.

Maybe the fault is not with the someones.  If someone misunderstands your point, just make some effort to clarify it instead of attacking them for being obtuse.

I don't know how you could find another take.  You want as small a playoff as possible, and want the teams with the best rosters, not the best seasons.  It's fine, the committee agrees with you (on the selection side, not the expansion side)

I didn't complain or attack anyone.  I earnestly asked him to explain how he got what he did from my posts.

See. I use facts to directly to directly respond to your actual words, and then you always respond that no one understands what you are trying to say. Yet you never clarify what you are trying to say. It's always something else, unknowable, and everyone else is wrong for not knowing it.
I type it out as plainly as I can.  So that's where I'm flabbergasted when you or others make odd leaps that I can't understand.

Because you keep saying TCU had no business being in the playoff, and FSU had no business being in the playoff, and it is a big lie when any G5 team is even contemplating making the playoff. These are your words.
I think the NCG score said TCU didn't belong much louder than I ever could.  
Looking back at the last few pages, I believe I've simply criticized the fact that TCU lost its CCG and didn't drop 1 spot.  That's a far cry from "saying TCU had no business being in the playoff."
I also have disagreed that no one worthwhile was ranked behind them.  That's just factually false.  2 close losses vs teams ranked higher than anyone TCU played isn't a disqualifier, sorry.  It's called a tough schedule.  I thought we all knew that was desirable.  I guess not.

What systematic change would you propose to correct this flaw?

There should be a rule for that. eh?  It's kind of funny to me.  As I noted, the posters here could form a committee and make these decisions and I suspect they wouldn't be all that much different, and of course irrelevant.  We can all voice our disagreements with their choices which is fine, but with an understanding that the "System" is going to generate what we think may be poor choices no matter what it is.

some folks like the underdog line and would include TCU and FSU this season

others don't like it a bit

I'm sure there are a few on the committee that see it each way

My kids, being "kids" of course, would complain about this or that.  I'd always challenge them to suggest how they'd change things to ameliorate the issue.  They learned over time not to complain with a proposed solution.  I tried to teach them not to act like 4th graders.  

It's certainly easier by far to complain about a thing, I see it on FB and SM all the time of course.  Folks get annoyed if I ask them how they would fix it.  It's the same with the NCAA.  They do "stuff" that look odd, to me, but if it were placed with something else, it would be the same situation only different.

His solution is simple. Dissolve the committee and let OAM pick the teams. He's always right, after all; just ask him.
