Get ready to blow the lid off a corrupt system. College football playoff rankings are not all they're cracked up to be, prioritizing profit and viewership over team performance. We dive deep into the controversy, highlighting the overlooked achievements of teams like Florida State, who despite an undefeated record and ACC championship win, were snubbed by the ranking system. We shed light on these flaws, questioning the integrity of the sport and expressing the collective disappointment of fans.

What if the media had a hand in steering the rankings? We tackle this question head-on, discussing how media bias can tip the scales in favor of certain conferences. The Florida State snub is back in the spotlight as we analyse the lack of media attention it received compared to SEC and Big 10 teams. We vent our frustrations, and make a passionate case for an expanded 12-team playoff, where rankings are earned, not decided politically.

Finally, we delve into the emotional repercussions of these controversies. We empathize with the athletes, their coaches, and their fans, as we grapple with the unfairness of the selection process. The disappointment in ranking undefeated teams behind those with losses, the subjective nature of the system, and the overall frustration felt by everyone involved. We explore potential solutions and urge those affected to focus on their reaction and growth. Join us in this riveting discussion on the future of college football.
