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)
What do you mean, "the teams with the best rosters, not the best seasons"???  I've solely discussed resume here.

What systematic change would you propose to correct this flaw?
Consistency.

If a team falls 5-6 spots for a loss in September, October, and November, the same should hold true in the final poll.

It's not complicated.

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
If anyone on the committee feels this way on either end of it, they shouldn't be on the committee.  Underdogs and Cinderellas shouldn't matter, neither for or against.

His solution is simple. Dissolve the committee and let OAM pick the teams. He's always right, after all; just ask him. 
This is the type of bullshit that keeps popping up, with no backup.  it gets a few likes, but isn't based on anything.  

Because I'm asking for consistency, then I'm an arrogant prick who thinks he's right.  Everyone with an opinion thinks he's right, that's why he holds his opinion.

Are 65-7 national championship games good for the sport?  Fun to watch? 

Is Liberty's undefeated season vs THE worst schedule in the country any more impressive than a Purdue going 6-6? 

Is a win better than a loss?  Sure.  But but isn't a win vs a top 10 team better than a win vs a bottom-dweller MAC team? 
I'd like to know when context, nuance, and prudence became the enemy here.  Yes, I'm asking what's wrong with you guys?

It honestly seems like you value disagreeing with me more than using your fucking brains and acknowledging anything that makes sense.

Consistency is not something practicable. It’s a notion.

Penalizing a loss, regardless of date.
Better?

It's akin to saying "I'd like referees to be more consistent", or "Life to be more fair".  Sure thing, but how?  It has no substance to it, it's just a wish.  

A lot of things "should" be better.  But they aren't, and won't be, unless someone has a practicable solution.  But it's OK to complain about a thing and offer no real solution or approach.

My solution to the TCU thing in 2022 is penalizing a loss to a lower-ranked opponent.  

You're arguing with some ghost that isn't me.  Read my posts.  Jesus.

A solution would be replacing them using some different process.

Sounds good. Perhaps in the future we penalize two losses even more than one.

You're 7 years old.

Let's rank Liberty ahead of Penn State.  Hey, maybe you'll grow up to be an astronaut someday!!!
