Manny Diaz just won the ACC... at Duke.

I mean the ACC sucks. But Duke is in the ACC, and they won the ACC.

Duke isn't out talenting anyone this season.
Yet they just won their conference.

Don't get me wrong. Congrats to Manny. Fantastic that he was able to pull it off. But does anyone think that conference deserves even 1 playoff invite? Further, why does Notre Dame when the majority of their schedule is ACC patsies and then a loss to an SEC team and to the tallest midget of the ACC? Maybe if they had run the table with that schedule but with 2 losses and no real good wins?

Well I can tell you I'd rather see the ACC champion get an invite than a three loss Alabama that lost their championship game.

The selection committee needs to award slots to conference champs and penalize conferences for having the game by deselecting the loser.

If you want to have the game, this becomes the first round

I don't care either way as long as it is more fairly done. The problem is that the criterion for selection seems to change every year based on who they want in. I just want everyone to know the rules, have to play by the same rules, and then let the chips fall where they may.

Yep. 100%

#1 rule, a non conference champion does not get in over a conference champion.

See Miami over Duke... and Virginia.

That's ridiculous

Yeah, I was talking about the criterion changing from year to year but more accurately it appears to change from week to week. I mean, they moved a bunch of teams relative to each other that didn't even play to get who they wanted this last week. So, it isn't truly a playoff. It is an invitational tournament.
 
My way to rationalize that things work out.
1. The playoff champion will be undoubtedly be the best team. That's the objective and expectation.
2. If ten of us chose our top six teams, then any differences among us will be covered by the next six teams. So, teams like Miami and Alabama would never be in anyone's top six, but get to participate, just like Boise State and SMU did last year.
