Could someone explain the difference between "four best teams" and "four most-deserving teams"?

That's a frequent "discussion." I suppose the gist is, "most deserving" is "best resume" and "best" means "whatever you want it to mean." Is that it?

FSU deserves it since they are 13-0 and ACC Champ. Are they one of the best without their #1 QB?

One is based on actual results. You know, sports and stuff?

And the other is just a blathering joke where talking heads tell us who is the best. Because you know predictions in sports are NEVER wrong.

4 best teams just means the committee can ignore records and data to pick who they want. So in this case they would ***k over undefeated Florida State because they couldn't fathom a playoff without an SEC team.

Didn't they basically break down each matchup as they revealed the brackets or something? It was just a terrible process.
Yeah, they thought they could pull a fast one and make even more money by making it an hour show. Luckily people aren't that stupid and the backlash was intesense.
