The basketball selection committee doesn't disclose its methods 
or reasoning. But every year the pundits make a list of which 
team(s) got snubbed the worsst by the committee.  

Now look at how much money the NCAA makes by selling the rights
to the tournament, and ask if they have sold their soul for TV
money over the years.  Am I the only one who believes 70 or
more teams is in the cards in the next few years?  

The football playoffs committee is limited to 4 teams
and thus will be subject to a lot more complaints about errors.

Are they going to be able to keep their inner deliberations secret?  

And if ESPN hints that they'd really like some team in the playoffs 
that has a good but not necessarily faultless pedigree over some 
other team with similar credentials, will the committee secretly
grant ESPN's wish?
