One map that explains the College Football Playoff - SBNation.com
There's a lot of talk about ESPN-SEC bias these days, but as the 2012 Alabama-LSU ratings taught us, it's actually better for ESPN if the teams are spread out throughout the country. If Oregon and TCU can keep winning, then maybe the map will cover more of the country.
What the selection committee signaled with its initial Playoff ranking
There are four things we can immediately glean from the first College Football Playoff selection committee poll.

Why don't people want to talk about the North Carolina scandal? - SBNation.com
Less than a week after the release of a report detailing one of the largest and most egregious academic scandals in the history of the NCAA, the sports world appears completely ready to move on. Why?
CRAWFORD | North Carolina's Williams 'sad' over scandal, but it' - WDRB 41 Louisville News
University of North Carolina basketball coach responded to the academic scandal facing the school as "sad" and "painful." But the pain should only be beginning for UNC athletics.
You want to make sure people take the academic side seriously? Give them a test before they can play in the NCAA Tournament, or a bowl game. Everybody takes the same one. You pass, you play. Make public an aggregate list of courses taken by players every semester. There are steps that could be taken without unduly infringing on the rights of students to academic privacy.
What will come of this? Probably next to nothing. Anything as large as the University of North Carolina isn't held accountable anymore. Mark Emmert will huff and puff at some press conference in the future, talk about "student athletes" while all the while padding his pockets and not give a single damn that a major university cheated its own students out of an education.
