Grading the College Football Playoff Committee: Part 5, Consideration of Past Champions

The College Football Playoff Committee has existed for two seasons now. Mike Francis will be grading the results in seven parts. Here is Part 5, Consideration of Past Champions.

While the Selection Committee's two year report card thus far has been focused on features of the committee and its effect on college football, our final three grades will be reflective of the actual selection process. There has been a great deal of discussion on how the committee chooses their top four teams and even more on whether they got it right. One of the factors discussed is how to view a champion from the previous season.
