Grading the College Football Playoff Committee

The College Football Playoff Committee has existed for two seasons now. Mike Francis will be grading the results in seven parts. Part 1: Entertainment Value.

For two years now, college football has embraced the human judgment of the Selection Committee as a replacement to the BCS system. The two team playoff has been expanded to four teams, computers are no longer a direct input to the system and some committee members have already come and gone. While the reception from fans has been largely positive, it's important with every new paradigm to review it from time to time, and two years seems like a good benchmark for the College Football Selection Committee to receive its first report card.
