Meh. A few points. If the committee is going to pull his at the end anyway, what is the point of even having weekly CFP Rankings before this final week, since they are apparently meaningless? They can't now all of sudden rank Baylor ahead of TCU becuse of head-to-head win when that game happened long ago before the first CFP ranking and it never mattered until now.

Secondly, once the teams were determined, why not put Ohio State third and Florida State fourth? That would have kept Florida State in the Sugar Bowl and would have preserved the Pac-12 Champ vs. Big Ten Champ traditional matchup of the Rose Bowl. If the committee REALLY ranks by merit without regard to geography, how would they explain putting TCU at 3 and FSU at 4 last week.
