Moving forward, we should no longer hear about such terms as “metrics”, strength of schedule or any other descriptive measurement the CFP wants to use to justify the decisions they make. It no longer matters.
First..As a Clemson fan if they lose to Notre Dame they don’t deserve to be in the final four.
The CFP is going out of their way to tilt the scales in favor of certain programs and certain conferences. It was easier to cover up these biases when all teams were playing a full schedule but the veneer has been stripped away.
Florida only drops one slot after losing to a 3 win LSU with a depleted roster and a fresh QB in the Swamp?
Iowa State moves up to 5th with 2 losses and a one loss Louisiana (the team that beat them) is 19th?
Coastal Carolina is undefeated and not in the top 10?
Then there is the very rested Ohio State…Playing is half schedule seems to be all the CFP needs to see to determine they are among the top 4.
How can the CFP move forward next year with any credibility. Just call it what it is and not try project some sense of equality.
This could be the last straw to hold off on expanding the playoffs.
