It’s the money. The selection committee doesn’t care about crowning a true champion. They care about making the NCAA, throw sponsors, and their media partners as much money as is humanly possible.
Rachel Nichols explains exactly why Alabama got picked over FSU.

Bingo. This should have been the first SEC-less playoff in idk how long. Bama beating Georgia should have cannibalized the SEC, letting Texas in. Yes, it was a difficult decision but a horseshit one as well. It’s only going to get worse next year when they expand but I’ll try and remain optimistic
She’s not wrong.
Perfection
Hit the nail on the head.
Well no shit. It’s always been about the money. And the players themselves have made it clear that they care more about the money than winning games too, which is why they fought so hard to earn money on their own likeness, to de-regulate the transfer window, and to sit out on bowl games.
Anyone that wants to watch the sport purely for competition needs to shift their focus to high school football, before that too becomes monetized and exploited by sponsors and broadcasters.
Tomorrow Fox News: WOKE FSU kept out of College Playoffs.
Strength of schedule matters. FSU didn’t have it, not their fault, no ACC team ever will.
Speaking of preferential treatment, why all of a sudden are there fallout for this issue on the ACC? What about all the other conferences like the WAC, SWAC, and MWC?
I wonder if part of it too is their last couple out of the box selections ended up getting their shit pounded in at some point during the playoff games themselves
I do agree it’s bullshit but NCAA is more interested in money
She explained why it happens and why it’s probably unfair and then he proceeds to suggest that something’s not right like it’s unfair or something.
Talking heads really have the best discourse, don’t they?
College football being more about corporate earnings (Disney, Fox) than it is about football teams winning means some new rules need to be initiated. The NFL and other leagues work because they have guidelines and rules they follow. The NCAA is the like Wild West.
FACTS.
I got downvoted to hell on Saturday night for saying not only that Bama would get in, but I also thought Georgia would get in over Texas, for these very reasons.
​
I’m glad I was wrong about Georgia, at least.
If anybody knows anything about backstabbing it’s Rachel Nichols
BRUH I thought this was AI generated and couldnt believe shed actually tell it like it is on CNN. This is great as this is gonna change the course and how the public views the ncaa
College football has become a sham now.
FSU still better. Buh bye.
Money over everything especially truth, virtue, honor, and integrity.
“It is all about money”. Yes, Networks probably have input into who plays. Yes, there is human bias in the picking. Guess what? you have control, don’t watch the games … but you will, everyone will and they know it. What the networks and the conferences want are games that will keep people watching in the 4th quarter so the networks can make max dollars on advertising and the conferences know this and they get max dollars from the games.
When CNN gives screentime for a whole segment about how much the committee fucked up college football, you know they fucked up.
