College Football Playoff Controversies and Predictions

The Oregon Ducks, despite an unbeaten season and winning the Big Ten Championship, are criticized for being unfairly treated by the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee. Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt and CBS Sports' Josh Pate argue that the Ducks face a tougher path to the National Championship, potentially having to defeat top teams like Ohio State, Texas, and Georgia. Meanwhile, Penn State, despite losing, is perceived to have an easier route to the semifinals, sparking further criticism of the CFP selection process.
