There are, I think, three rankings now:

1.  The four best teams.
2.  The four teams the CFPC will choose.
3.  The four most deserving teams.

Michigan is in all four, but that's it.

“ deserving” is a mirage.   “Best” is too.   Just opinions with no correct answer.  

on field results need to be the main thing.

I agree, but I think "best" can be judged using Vegas.

I think that last part is being treated as synonymous with “deserving.”

I asked Google Bard (their ChatGPT equivalent):

Which teams will be chosen for this year's College Football Playoff and why?


Quote
The four teams selected for this year's College Football Playoff are:
These four teams are all very evenly matched and it will be a very exciting playoff. The Michigan Wolverines are the favorites to win the national championship, but the other three teams all have a chance to make a run.

AI has spoken.

AI telling you Alabama is led by Bryce Young should be all you need to know.

He's playing today. NFL and all that.

Yeah, AI has been known to hallucinate from time to time.

That said, so have Bama fans.

You serious, Clark? ;)


I think the debate between FSU-Texas-Alabama-Georgia is going to be pretty tough for them.
Georgia is out

There's like a 51% chance the committee does this and posts it as their own.

Also, Chat GPT knows jack shit about college football (not enough volume of info, I guess).  I tested it out and it made vague, yet incorrect claims about a team and then doubled-down when questioned.
Only after I called it out a 2nd time did it acknowledge its limitations.

I then farted in its general direction.
