Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I know Auburn was about to be selected with two losses one year, so that can happen.  I think it will be rare, as will be a 12-1 P5 champ being left out.

I have not had any outrage over the selections personally.  I heard last year they have UGA serious consideration, which I think would have been atrocious really, they had two bad losses and had their shot.  I think had UGA slipped by USCe, they would have been included last year, which also would have been a mistake I think.

I've not had a problem with their selections either

it's not rocket science - you and I could pick the top 4 on a webX in 15 minutes

Sure, it's easy when you care a lot less about the "best teams" and just limit yourselves to the simple rules:

• Undefeated? You're in.
• 1-loss? We'll try to figure out who has either the strongest schedule or the least "bad" loss.
• 2-losses? Better hope the world's on fire if you want a shot. 

I mean, in 2018 Georgia couldn't have been one of the best 4 teams in the land, because they had two losses.

Sure, after losing their bowl game they were STILL second only to Alabama in S/P+, and the only games they lost prior to their bowl were losses to the teams that finished #1 and #5 in S/P+.

I don't know what Notre Dame's S/P+ was prior to losing the CFP Semifinal, but they finished at 13th. But they were undefeated so they were definitely one of the best 4 teams in the country. A century of being perennially overrated notwithstanding.

I didn't think the Dawgs should have been in even given their close loss to Bama in the CG.  That was their shot, they lost.  Win, and you're in. 

Maybe if they had no other losses, maybe, depending.

Their bowl opponent was some G5 team and they just didn't care as I dimly recall.

But I thought you wanted the 4 best teams in the land?

At least by S/P+, considering after losing in their bowl to Texas Georgia was *still* #2 in S/P+, it seems like they were pretty damn good. 

Better than Notre Dame, anyway.

That's why I don't want college football to have a post-season that resembles that of other sports.

Me either 

It is objective.
It might not be fair or accurate, but it is objective.  You win your conference, by rules in place before the season starts, and you are in the playoff.
As I've said, I'd vote for going back to bowls and polls.
In the absence of that, I'd like to see winning your conference either be a pre-requisite (for a 2- or 4-team playoff) or an automatic entry (for a 6-team playoff).

I don't like mandated uniformity in conference size and scheduling philosophy.  The NFL provides that for people who like such things.

The NFL also lets you in its playoffs with a 7-9 record.  In college football, that would not happen.
Can we please stop with the equitable, uniform college football framework fast-forwarding to the NFL model?  They're nowhere near the same.

I think they have always gotten 3 of 4 right, the fourth one will be controversial often as not.  I can live with that.

Life is not fair.  I stopped expecting fairness decades ago.
