Visual evidence the College Football Playoff committee actually watches the games

It turns out the College Football Playoff committee does actually watch the teams it ranks on a weekly basis. Who knew?

If you needed proof that the College Football Playoff selection committee actually does pay attention to what happens on the field, then here you go. As the college football world navigates what’s going on in the conference championship games, the selection committee got together to watch the games.

In a video shared on Twitter by ESPN’s Heather Dinich, the members of this season’s selection committee were hanging out together watching the conference championship games, but they were watching with a really weird set up.

None of this seems like a natural way to really enjoy college football. It also doesn’t seem conducive to being able to analyze college football.

All this setup seems good for is to get some solid back pain from sitting in an uncomfortable chair for too long while trying to switch perspectives and glance around to watch one of the other games on one of the other screens.

But hey, all criticism of this bizarre and uncomfortable way to watch some football aside, at least there’s proof that the selection committee is taking time to watch the games unfold.

Earlier this season, plenty of people actively wondered whether or not anyone on the committee was paying attention to what was going on during the games.

The best example of that? When the committee stubbornly insisted upon ranking Michigan higher than Michigan State earlier this year despite the fact that the two had identical records and Michigan State won the head-to-head game.
