Oh I think there are 20 teams better than Notre Dame. But deserving is another story. The playoff isn’t about the 12 best teams.
IMO college football is the opposite of mediocre, it’s about the haves and have nots. This ASU/Iowa State game is entertaining but they’re not top teams. Those exist in just two conferences now.
You could get rid of the selection committee and simply have criteria, but if you don’t guarantee the SEC about a third of the teams, they’re just going to take their ball and go home. They’ll throw big money at a couple more schools and have their own post season tournament. And the rest of the bowl games just become the NIT.
