The 2024 college football season opened this week with No. 1-ranked Georgia blasting its way past No. 14-ranked Clemson with a final score of 34-3 in Atlanta. The Bulldogs are on a revenge mission following their “getting jobbed” out of the college football playoffs last season. I use the word “jobbed” to describe what happened, because that’s what the NCAA Selection Committee did as it denied Georgia a chance at a third-straight national college football championship.

Picture this scenario: Following a football league’s grueling regular season, the fans of a nationally popular game are told that people who have yet to play one second of the game they cherish will be tasked with deciding who gets to play in postseason competition and who doesn’t.
