The charge of the College Football Playoff committee seems simple. Pick the four best teams in the FBS to compete in a playoff to determine the National Championship. The CFP was heralded as a win for the entire college football community, especially those that were outside the SEC footprint. Alabama football has been the only team to qualify all five seasons. Considering national Alabama fatigue, the Tide getting in every year does not sit well with other schools.
The SEC saw domination in the BCS, winning nine BCS championships total. The four-team format gave two other teams a chance to win the championship, should the committee fail to correctly choose the first two teams in its rankings.
