This is a strange and awkward thing to type, and, quite truthfully, we might be making history here. Has anyone ever said, "Thank you" to the College Football Playoff selection committee?
Because, on Sunday, the 13 people tasked with getting the top four right deserve a giant thank you, a lifetime supply of bacon at the Gaylord Texan Resort and, while we're at it, let's throw in an ice cream sundae bar and unlimited Cheez-Its if we really want to go crazy.
After years of selection moments filled with anger, vitriol, complaints, hot takes and unrelenting criticism, this year feels refreshing in a way.
