The college football playoffs are set. 49ers cornerback Jimmy Garoppolo is going to miss the rest of

the year with a broken foot. And we're going to break down the best and worse from a great football

weekend. Check out a more on Cranic Company.

There was a ton of attention paid to the release of the final college football playoff rankings

yesterday as the committee decided to put Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State in the final

playoff and in that order from a seed perspective. Now, after all the talk on whether Bama, Tennessee,

or Clemson should have made it, when you look at the very loose criteria, the committee says they

used with a mix of the eye test, I believe they got it right when it comes down to those final

four. Now, if you're a fan of a team that got in or got left out, you're going to side with your

team or whatever logic follows. And that's expected and understandable. But if you want to get a true

analysis, you have to take a sociopathic look at it. You can't catch feelings or fall in love with

brands. We also have to be able to separate the teams that are deserving compared to those who may

be favored by Vegas on a neutral field. Now, in the case of Ohio State, when compared to some

that were left out, they lost one time all year to the number two team in the country who

went undefeated in Michigan. When you look at TCU, they lost one time in an extra game and over time

to a top 10 team. Now, compare those two with, let's say Bama, who lost twice, including a loss

to a now four lost LSU team. And the best quality win was against 20th ranked Texas, who beat TCU,

who TCU beat worse than they did. Now, if Bama played TCU on a neutral side, I'm betting Bama

all day. There's no doubt about that. But you can't make decisions based on hypotheticals

when the most important metrics are so one-sided. Now, some of you will be upset at this because

your team didn't make it and that's okay. I totally get it. But to quote the great philosopher,

Lil Tunchy, men lie, women lie, but numbers don't lie. They go on bringing my co-host.
