My question for everyone is where you see best vs most deserving. I struggle with this because the committee talks out of both sides of their mouth on this topic. Using whatever metric they want to get the teams in that they choose.
A. How is a team that looses a conference championship game in the discussion for best team, goal of a playoff is to get 1 champion that is the best. Instead when they loose the narrative is “they don’t DESERVE to be penalized for playing a conference championship”
B. Most Deserving is always explained away as “we think this team just looks better. The goal is to get the BEST teams in regardless of everything” but will still put a bubble team in the playoff coming off of a CC game loss.
I know Miami checks both boxes this year, and both arguments are keeping them out. Frustrating but such is the life of a Miami fan.
