Paul Finebaum called into question the legitimacy of the College Football Playoff selection committee over what he called an “embarrassing” top 5.

Speaking Friday morning on ESPN’s Get Up, the SEC Network host said it was “ridiculous” for the CFP committee to include 4 Big Ten teams in this week’s top 5 of the CFP rankings. Unbeaten Oregon took the No. 1 spot, which should have come as no surprise after the Ducks earned all 62 first-place votes in the week’s AP poll. Ohio State was an unsurprising second. Where Finebaum seemingly takes issue is with the Nos. 4 and 5 spots.

“Indiana is a phenomenal story, and Curt Cignetti has done a masterful job, and this is a really good football team, but the schedule is embarrassing,” Finebaum said. “I look at Indiana’s schedule and say if you played Georgia’s schedule, you would have your fifth loss tomorrow night against Tennessee.

“Penn State has played 1 good team, they’ve lost. It’s going to shake out but it’s still ridiculous at this point for this committee to meet for 2 days and come up with just an embarrassing slate of top teams.”

Per FEI, Indiana’s strength of schedule ranks 107th in the country. That will get a bump when the Hoosiers (10-0) face Ohio State in Week 13, but if Indiana were to lose that game against the Buckeyes, many throughout the sport would use the result to invalidate the first 10 games.

In the age of the super-conference, schedule disparity is even greater. Entering Week 12, there are 8 Big Ten teams with at least a .500 record in conference play; Indiana is 1 of the 8, and it only plays 1 of the remaining 7 this season. But the Hoosiers also can’t help their conference schedule, they can only control how they deal with it. And the Hoosiers have left no doubt in that regard.

They’re sixth nationally in ESPN’s strength of record metric and they’re also sixth in ESPN’s game control metric. Penn State is also fifth in SOR.

“Ultimately, the championship games will decide this but it’s still ridiculous for us to trust a committee after 2 weeks to have done this poor of a job,” Finebaum said.

But this is also what proponents of the 12-team Playoff have argued for. Should Indiana make the CFP, these questions will get answered on the field.
