The College Football Playoff selection committee gave us exactly what they wanted - maximum controversy and debate. Alabama gets in at 9-3 with three losses, BYU gets left out after losing in their conference championship game, and somehow the committee screwed up the easy Notre Dame vs Miami decision before ultimately getting it right. This is why the 12-team format is perfect for sports talk but terrible for fairness, and why they'll never go to the obviously superior 8-team playoff. Let's break down all the drama, controversy, and explain why the selection process is fundamentally flawed by design.
