College Football’s Flawed System: A Recipe for Disaster
The College Football Playoff committee’s latest rankings have left many scratching their heads. As we inch closer to the 12-team Playoff, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the system is fundamentally broken.
A Marxist Approach to College Football
I’ve never been a fan of the expanded Playoff, and now it seems like college football communism is rearing its ugly head. On-campus games may be exciting, but the committee’s attachment to Marxist ideals is a major concern. Take Indiana and BYU, for instance. Both teams jumped three spots this week, surpassing Tennessee despite narrow wins over mediocre opponents. The committee’s justification for this move is flimsy at best, and it raises questions about their competence.
Lack of Criteria and Inconsistency
If the committee genuinely believes Indiana and BYU are better than Tennessee, then why weren’t they ranked higher last week? It’s a clear example of inconsistency, and it undermines the entire system. The lack of legitimate criteria is staggering, and it seems like teams are being judged on a case-by-case basis.
Unfair Advantages and Unworthy Teams
BYU, in particular, is benefiting from a weak Big 12 conference. They may win the championship despite being one of the worst teams in the country. Meanwhile, Indiana is cruising to an 11-1 record without facing any significant opponents. It’s unfair to teams like Tennessee, which have received a clear message from the committee: go 11-1 or risk being left out of the Playoff.
Alabama’s Undeserved Spot
Another glaring issue is the likely inclusion of Alabama at 10-2, despite their loss to Tennessee. The Vols, on the other hand, may be left out due to a loss to Arkansas. It’s a bizarre system that rewards mediocrity and punishes deserving teams.
A Flawed System and Its Consequences
While we may get more Playoff games out of this system, it’s come at the cost of fairness and equality. The committee’s Marxist approach has created a flawed system that’s destined to disappoint. As we move forward, it’s essential to acknowledge these issues and work towards a more balanced and merit-based system.
