Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 2962486, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1075132384910045184[/MEDIA] >>In the case of Delany, arguably the most influential voice in the sport, the answer may seem obvious: His conference has been excluded from the Playoff the past two years (and its champion the past three years). Rather than accepting that his teams just weren’t good enough, he just wants to make it easier for them to get in. Right? That’s not the entirety of his reasoning. With five power conferences plus Notre Dame playing for four spots, Delany and his counterparts who devised the CFP knew there were no guarantees for their conferences. His and others’ primary beefs seem not to be with certain teams’ exclusions but the selection process itself. Delany himself was the primary proponent of a selection committee in the first place. The introduction to the official Selection Committee Protocol on the CFP’s Web site is primarily his words. He, along with the Pac-12’s Larry Scott, thought they had been pretty clear in establishing a mandate that the committee should reward ambitious scheduling and conference championships whenever possible.<< >>Arguably the biggest frustration for Delany, Bowlsby and Scott is the committee seems to care not the slightest about scheduling inequities — to the SEC’s benefit. If it did, Florida would not be sitting in the Top 10 with a 9-3 record, four of those wins having come against 5-7 Florida State, 3-9 Colorado State and FCS foes Charleston Southern and Idaho.<< [/QUOTE]
