That doesn't mean the Baptist is doing what they're doing in order to seek alignment with the bootlegger's interests.

Ya well Baptists don't recognize the Pope or each other in the Liquor store either

And you quote me not saying anything like what you said.

Might as well be typing Chinese, ffs.

Maybe the problem is not with his interpretation.  If folks consistently misinterpret what I meant, I try and do better to be more clear.  It works better than just saying "That's not what I meant."

I took the time to type out lengthy, segmented post expressing and re-expressing the simple idea, including images and statistics.
The last thing I need is your confused self joining in with him.

You outright said:

"It's not W/L record only.  That's childish.  Schedule matters.  Margin of victory matters.  Good wins AND bad losses matter.  Talent matters."

That obviously refers to recruiting rankings. Then when I say you want to include recruiting rankings in who gets invited to the playoffs, you claim no one understands you and you might as well be speaking Chinese.

While we’re reforming CFB it would be a good time to get rid of the polls. We don’t need them anymore, no more beauty pageants.

And you're the one looking at a LIST and only cherry-picking one thing from it, then straw-manning me by only mentioning that one thing.
You're a dishonest interlocutor. 
Stop wasting our time, friend.

I don't know what your complaint is. Your biggest problem is that TCU made the postseason when they apparently didn't deserve it, based presumably on their recruiting rankings being far below Georgia's. We all get that. I understand it. You want only the best teams to be playing for a championship. I get it. I understand.

My point is that by using all this "extra data," we are cheapening the actual results on the field, and year over year incentivizing the same five teams being the only relevant ones year after year. Without certain ways for every team to get into the playoffs, or get into the upper echelon of the sport, we are creating artificial barriers which hurt the programs and hurt the sport. It is more important that every team has access to the big money and the championships by what they do on the field, not in backroom deals and invitational tournaments.

Please stop typing this.  You don't understand.  You have no desire to understand.  You're dishonest.  Move on.

Your actual position is a mystery. Quote you? I never said that. Refer to prior posts? Unfair. This is Trumpian levels of pretend.

If I feel misunderstood, I try and clarify my position rather than complaining about being misunderstood.

That is, if I had a position in the first place.

Polls will stay as long as people remain interested in them.  If we don't use a committee, what do we use?  It's akin to saying get rid of the NCAA, and then it would crop back up under another name, with the same function, and ills.
