I never said there was no subjectivity in the present system. I'm saying there is less (or better) subjectivity in the current 4-team playoff than the pre-BCS bowl system where there could be co-champions or 1 vs 2 not playing.

1981 Clemson beat two top 10 teams, #4 Georgia and #9 North Carolina, in the regular season. That's why they shot up in the rankings and played for a national title.

1990 Georgia Tech beat three Top 25 teams, including winning at #1 Virginia, in the regular season. Likewise, that's why they played for a title.

UCF played a weak schedule this year. That's why they didn't make the cut. If they're serious about being a national title contender, then they need to schedule one of those early weekend showcase games against a big time opponent like Boise and Houston have done in recent years.

Non-superpower teams like Mississippi State, Iowa, TCU and Oklahoma State have been very close to making the playoff over the last few years.
