In case there was any doubt about the incompetence of the playoff selection committee... consider that the supposed #1 seed is playing their first game as an underdog.
It is bizarro world with the rankings. I mean, how could you put OSU behind PSU when they played no one and we beat them at their place. Yes, they fell into the B1G Championship due to their cupcake schedule but they lost to Oregon on a neutral field by more than OSU did in Eugene. And they were rewarded for that with a playoff schedule starting with SMU and Boise.
Add it up. Oregon, OSU and Texas all in the same bracket. Oregon opening as an underdog. Georgia without their starting QB getting the easy draw. PSU playing two nobodies. How did it get so screwed up? Look at who ran the process: the athletic director who oversaw the biggest cheating scandal in NCAA history.
