57: A Chalky Weekend of College Football Leaves Us Wondering What is the Criteria for a Playoff Team?

A lack of chaos on the field this past holiday weekend has led to a magnification of the problems of bloated conferences and consistency in choosing playoff teams. Just as I feared when I did my big playoff episode in the summer, we have a rudderless and nonsensical selection process and just a few weeks left to see how it plays out.

The ACC is in a state of chaos that it made itself, another in a long line of missteps and blunders by the conference. It could leave them (unfairly) out of the playoffs. If only they could have looked at their tiebreaker scenarios and change them like other conferences did.
