[QUOTE="Mean Purple, post: 2669628, member: 72660"] ESPN. The CFP is tied at the hip with them. When they announced the CFP idea, folks wisely pointed out that the metrics used would not be consistent or reliable and that the whole thing smelled of protecting big brands. They were right. Certain teams can have a loss, certain teams can't. Certain teams can't be jumped when they have won at the end, certain teams can. "our preferred team won it all, so that must mean that the team we worked to keep out would have never won, even though they scorched a team that beat our big brand." "Don't like it, don't lose a game, but don't expect us to use that logic on our big brand darlings." The defenders of the CFP tie into tired old circuitous reasoning and come off looking like Martin Short's Nathan Thurm character. [/QUOTE]
