After seeing the love fest the Big 10 is getting I decided to look at the makeup of the committee and noticed based on bios that there is a large contingent of BIG10 connections or connections to northern/western institutions…. Very few southern connections .. how is this possible? Shouldn’t there be equal representation?

Sankey dropped the ball if that is true
This is the reason Sankey is pushing to remove the SEC from this format. He knows where the money and talent are concentrated. I believe the next format change comes after 2025 and the SEC will secede from the majority of the CFP landscape with the best parts of the B1G and ACC. The Big 12 will be grouped in with the remaining G5 conferences in a totally different league.

If he had any sense he’d be leveraging that threat to get things right so we don’t have to do that

This committee is biased as usual. To rank 4 Big 10 teams in the top 5 is absurd bias. There is no evidence on the field to support these rankings. The SEC needs Notre Dame and/or Penn St. to lose a game. If they don't then it boils down to Indiana losing to Ohio St. This would leave this committee to decide between Indiana and a 5th SEC team. If Tennessee loses to Georgia, the conversation would be between Georgia, Tennessee, and Indiana. I'm sure they would choose Georgia over Tennessee, so then it boils down to Indiana at 11-1 vs Tennessee at 10-2. So sad, disgusting, pathetic.

People need to forget about any sense of fairness with the playoff selection committee, it's not going to be that way.

Most aren't aware that the SEC and B1G are already getting a bigger cut of the CFP pie than the rest for the next 2 years.

There isn't a P4 anymore, that's all window dressing. It will become even more evident after the media contract is renegotiated after the 2025 season.

Keep an eye on these SEC/BIG meetings over the next couple of years. Changes are coming and they won't be to the benefit of any other conferences.

Don't go down that rabbit hole. Everyone on that committee knows where the fan money is, they know where the TV money, they know where the game ratings will come from.

And they really know where their personal past money, future jobs & money, and "who am I beholden to" return favors is from...
And it's not the SEC and it's backers.

Yes, Sankey got blindsided.

interesting to see Houston come up so much. a school like Nebraska makes more sense imo.

Don’t understand why they have women on the committee. It should be football people

Yankees have a big problem admitting that southern football is superior to what they play up north. It's always been that way. In the old days they wouldn't even play us. Then (tip of the hat) Bobby Bowdin started playing some of them in only away games. They called them "turf games". He cracked into getting them to play outside of the north and midwest. Kinda opened the door. Soon we had Penn St come down to Neyland. They were suppose to bury us. Had Franko Harris in the backfield. The Vols beat that a** so bad Paterno said he would NEVER play in Neyland again. And they never did.

The End

Exactly. I’d say 4 min to 5 max. NCAA knows full well if we get 3 or less, sec could leave and form league with Big 10 and all the money is gone, along with the ratings…they can check with cbs on how well that exit is going.

Guess you still believe in a 2 party government? It is what it is. UT wins Saturday and they have a great shot at the playoffs. If they lose, they can kiss a playoff spot goodbye.

You can see the bias in the ranking. Penn state is a joke, I hope the big 10 gets crushed in the playoffs

It's not bias. PSU has lost one game, a close one to 8-1 #2 ranked Ohio State. We have lost one game to 5-4 unranked Arkansas. Our records are the same, our loss looks worse. What's the confusion?
