The College Football Playoff Committee Is a Marxist Organization That's Full of Shit

We got our second look at the College Football Playoff committee's rankings on Tuesday night and it's about time for someone to take these people to task. What we're staring down the barrel of is an affront to legitimate ball knowers and it seems the 12-team Playoff could be a farce from the very beginning.

I was never in favor of the expanded Playoff. Yes, the on-campus games are going to be awesome. But this is college football communism and it seems like the committee is really attached to its Marxist ideals. Indiana and BYU both moved up three spots this week and both jumped ahead of Tennessee after incredible wins over 5-4 Michigan and 4-4 Utah by a combined six points. CFP chairman Warde Manuel said those two wins were incredibly impressive and that was the reason for those teams' move ahead of the Vols, despite them being though of as worse than Tennessee just last week.

If you think those teams are better than Tennessee, then they should have been ranked ahead of UT a week ago. Now we're all left to believe the people running this whole thing are wholly incompetent — which they are — and this thing is all being done with no legitimate criteria because you jumped them ahead after both narrowly escaping against bad teams.

I said this is college football communism because nobody believes BYU is one of the 12 best college football teams in the country, but it's going to likely win a horrific Big 12 and get into the Playoff. It may even lose the Big 12 Championship Game to an average Colorado team and still get in, taking away yet another spot from one of the teams that actually deserves to be there. And Indiana, while probably one of the 12 best teams in the country right now, will cruise into the CFP at 11-1, having beaten no teams of consequence and losing its only game to a ranked opponent. I am envious of the situations in which those teams find themselves.

Meanwhile, Tennessee has received a clear message from the committee that it has to go 11-1 in the regular season to even be considered for an at-large spot and even then, maybe they'd leave the Vols after after a loss in the SEC Championship Game just for fun. We may need to get another ACC or Big 12 team in there with no quality wins because it's all about fairness and equality in CFP Rainbowland.

And while I have a massive problem with the Marxist system we've pivoted to in college football, that just is what it is and we'll all have to deal with it. But another glaring problem in this whole thing is that we're going to give Alabama a spot at 10-2 and seemingly leave Tennessee out despite the fact those teams played and if my memory serves me correctly, Tennessee won the game. And while the Vols have a loss to Arkansas, I also believe the Crimson Tide went down to Nashville and got their asses handed to them by Vanderbilt.

Oh well. While we torched the entire sport to worship at the altar of a fatally flawed system, at least there will be more Playoff games!
