That, plus the money the G5 is getting is much better than from the BCS. I don't see an upside of the BCS over the CFP TBH.

Yes, complaints about the CFP selection process miss how basically perfectly the four teams chosen have tracked what the old system, or just relying on the AP/Coaches polls, would have produced.

The only slight discrepancy i can think of was in the first year, 2014. That year, the BCS simulation had the exact same four teams as the CFP chose, and so did the Coaches poll alone. The AP, however, would have had Baylor at #4 instead of Ohio State. But when you combined the AP and Coaches polls, Ohio State would have been selected.

FWIW, TCU, the school many think the CFP committee shafted, was NOT selected in the final pre-bowl top 4 by the AP, the Coaches, or the overall BCS. They were 6th in both polls and 5th in the BCS.
