Chairman Warde Manuel and the College Football Playoff committee are under fire from Georgia coach Kirby Smart, who said teams and coaches shouldn’t be guessing what evaluation criteria might be applied to formulate the 12-team playoff rankings.Georgia is No. 10 in the latest CFP Top 25 with a resume that includes two Southeastern Conference losses but also wins over No. 3 Texas, No. 11 Tennessee and No. 17 Clemson.”I’ve repeatedly said I don’t know what they’re looking for. They can’t define that, and it’s not simple either,” Smart said on the SEC teleconference Wednesday.”It’s not. I mean, anybody could be on that committee and say, ‘Well, this is what we’re looking for. This is our criteria.’ And there’s so much that it overlaps things, and everybody debates it, and I don’t have time to really waste energy on it. So, I think it’s more than your nonconference games and who you play.”Manuel said the factors the committee is applying to each team include head-to-head competition, schedule strength and a more arbitrary variable, the “eye test.””Well, obviously Georgia has a very good win at Texas,” Manuel said of why the committee sees a significant gap between Texas and Georgia. “As the committee analyzed the body of work of Texas versus where Georgia is at the present time with two losses, even to Top-25 teams, we came out that Texas was still a very strong team deserving of a 3 seed.”Smart is not clear on what the “eye test” entails.”It just seems unjust to me when you evaluate somebody’s got a third-ranked defense or somebody’s got a fifth-ranked defense,” Smart said. “Well, don’t you think that third- or fifth-ranked defense (ranking) is dictated by who they’ve played on offense and how many top offenses they’ve played?”Because last time I checked, our offense and our defense have played the top offenses and defenses across the country. Well, you’re not going to be ranked as high if you play top ones than if you play lower-ranked ones, and that’s what gets me is they talk about the eye test.”
