I like to think that I’m a pretty smart guy. I like to keep up with all the latest sports news, and even the news around the world. I’m not sure I’m an expert on anything, but I try to be well informed. With that said, there are some things I don’t understand. Things that just don’t make sense, to me at least.
I don’t understand how the College Football Selection Committee thought it was a good idea to put Notre Dame in the college football playoffs. Notre Dame was clearly out played in every part of the game last Saturday. They weren’t even close to the quality team that Clemson, Alabama, or even Oklahoma. I think that where the committee lost it’s way is that it confused undefeated with greatness. It’s a trap we all can fall into. There are some in the country that felt that because the University of Central Florida has been undefeated for the last two seasons that this must equal a truly great team. I do agree that Central Florida is a good team, maybe great team. But they couldn’t beat any team in the top 10. Notre Dame has officially stepped into the same category as Central Florida and Boise State before them.
