Well, they fucked it up at least two ways, this CFP bracket...

First off, Rapeis is IN.  Jameis Winston and Florida State, 13-0 and 28 in a row, get the title shot at #3!

Yes, I said #3.

TCU, #3 last week, beats Iowa State (a dreg, but they did what they were supposed to do) 55-3, and FALLS OUT OF THE PLAYOFF AND TO #6!

Baylor jumps them.

Ohio State jumps them into the playoff.

Florida State jumps them.

Baylor gets #5 for beating TCU, but the problem is evident.

I would think the Committee intelligent enough to know who the teams are playing.

The bracket is clear Money Talks material:  Alabama vs Ohio State in the Sugar, Oregon vs Florida State in the Rose.

But the committee now has to basically say that the Big XII will not be considered a major conference until it joins the other four major conferences with a championship game.

Because that's the only explanation you can give.

And, on top of that, if it's not Rapeis, then why is Florida State number anything-but-one?
