College Football Playoff: Prioritizing Game Outcomes Over Hypotheticals

TL;DR Summary
The article argues that the College Football Playoff selections should be based on actual game results rather than hypothetical matchups or preseason expectations. It criticizes the tendency to favor teams with more perceived prestige or tougher schedules, like those from the SEC, over undefeated teams like Indiana, which has performed well against its schedule. The author emphasizes that the regular season should be meaningful, and teams should be judged on their on-field achievements rather than hypothetical betting lines or past reputations.
