The College Football Playoff Committee got what they deserved, two minimally competitive snooze-fests in the form of playoff games. They continuously tell us that they want the four best teams in the playoff and made their decision accordingly. The result was Alabama and Clemson winning by a combined 38 points.
According to the committee, the “third best” team in the nation was a Notre Dame team that struggled against Ball State, Vanderbilt, and Pittsburgh. Those teams had a combined record of 17-21. Their signature win was a week one victory against a Michigan team that was shellacked by a Florida team that Georgia football beat by 19.
