Teams that have no shot. Three loss teams that have favor because of recent history. Average teams from average conferences. This is a scam and fans fall for it all the time. One of the best teams was left out last year so how can we trust the children running the CFP to do it right the next time and the next time after that? More is not better. Eight team at the most. We all know who the best eight are without all this political maneuvering.
