Absolutely. But given some of the votes we've seen out of these coaches (most of whom do not watch many other teams or don't even do the vote themselves), it's great that they're now out of the picture and a committee is making those decisions.

I don't know the cynic in me sees this not going right and CFB for the "mid majors" not being as important.
I don't know...it's just not appealing to me...and I think it's because it's the 4 team playoff scenario...I don't know, I guess I am just bleh about it.

The focus if you're a mid-major is that this is a step that will eventually lead to mid-majors becoming relevant. The chances for your team making a championship just went up with this change. Given that it's likely a step towards a 8 or 16-team playoff, I would think that's a step in a better direction than what we had before.
