They flat out were better than AU and AU can play with anyone. So it is not that they just beat AU it was beyond clear they were the better team and it was not a one off upset. They beat 13 teams with losing their bye week and having to deal with the hurricane. No to mention they had to beat the same top 25 team twice. Yes overall the SEC schedule it going to be harder but beating horrible teams like Tenn or FSU is supposed to carry a ton more weight than beating slightly lower ranked horrible teams?

May happen once a decade with just four teams but UCF got screwed intentionally and the CFP went out of its way to ensure they had no shot to make it in.

How would you have felt about UCF in the final four before the win over Auburn? It really is perfect that they got to beat the one team that's beaten both of the championship game participants, but that's a pretty big data point that wasn't there at the time of the final rankings.

My main concern is they put in a team that didn't even win their division over 2 conference champions and an undefeated team. Conference champs should get first dibs or conference championship games should be removed. Alabama is probably one of the best 4 teams, but if you don't even win your division then you should NOT be in a 4 team playoff when there are 10 FBS conferences. Doesn't matter if you're "the best" on paper. You didn't win the games that mattered.

It's all too much of a beauty contest really. It's not a real playoff and that is my biggest issue with it.

A 16 team playoff would be amazing, but of course will never happen
