If you're judging an entire season off one game as to whether or not a team deserves to be in the playoffs, is it not lost on you guys that you're kinda doing the same thing & using the same logic that the committee is using to justify keeping us OUT of the playoffs?...

I mean, has Miami not had any "bad" games, or slow performances this year?

Don’t think it’s the same thing. I gave the example in a different thread about the nfl. If team A lost to team B, and then ran the table the rest of the season looking impressive , while team A lost to a 1 win team at the end of the season and looked inferior to team B for most of the season, and ends with the same record. When it comes down who gets in the playoffs, you would be laughed out of the room if you said, “well team B passes the eyeball test more than team A and should be in the playoffs.” Why? Because head to head ALWAYS is the tiebreaker in every sport. It is objective and beyond question. There is no controversy.

So do you think it’s a better system for a
committee to just pick who they like best? I think that ruins the sport. I know the counter argument is “well this is what everyone agreed to” but there is a reason that H2H is listed as the first criteria for a tiebreaker. It’s objective. ND is saying- well the committee should not use objective criteria. They should just rely on internal bias to pick who they like best. Sure, they CAN (and probably will) do that, but it is fundamentally wrong. You don’t ignore clear cut objective standards in favor of how you feel about a team.
 
TT offense looks like they not only took their foot off the gas but they also put the car in Park.

Robert’s is having one **** if a game though.

Edit: touchdown lol
