Based on their reporting of the CFP process the last 2 years, absolutely.


They've been clueless.

The selection process has followed the original description to a T. The number of people in the industry and especially ESPN that should know what is going and don't, boggles my mind.

They still talk about team A "jumping" Team B as if it is a cumulative process like the polls were. They will say things like, "if the playoff was held today..." which I'm sure it is great for hype, but is right there with "if a frog had wings". And it leads people to believe that certain things can happen when if fact, they are somewhere between extremely improbable and mathematically impossible.

Would the committee ask ESPN which matchup of the final 4 would draw the best rating? If they had 2 teams tied, maybe in a back room. Would they ask ESPN who should be in the playoff? With the amount of money bet and hinging on these things, no way.
