On Tuesday night, when it released its fourth set of rankings, the College Football Playoff’s 12-member selection committee told the five major conferences how it really felt about them.

In selecting as its top four Alabama, Oregon, Florida State (the only undefeated major-conference team) and Mississippi State, in that order, the committee communicated that the other conferences were not on the same level as the Southeastern Conference, whose teams bookended the top four.

I think the committee communicated how they feel about the SEC West rather than how they feel about the other Four Majors. Marshall has no place in the conversation unless they beat a couple of Power Five schools. Colorado State has defeated Colorado and Boston College and a case could be made for including them in a "fairness" clause -- but including Marshall would be charity instead of fairness.
