AAC commissioner Mike Aresco on Finebaum: "We've reached a crossroads with this committee. You probably expect me to go ballistic, but I'm not going to. ⊠After watching last night, I didn't know where to begin. If this continues, let's bring back the BCS and computers."
More Aresco on Finebaum: "(The BCS) would be more fair than what we're seeing now. ⊠I think the committee is undermining its credibility with rankings that defy logic, common sense and fairness. ⊠It's clearly become a P5 invitational."
More Aresco: "We thought we had a path. That seems to have been snatched away. That's a concern. The goalposts seem to move, and people don't know where the goalposts are anymore."
Aresco: "It's a cycle that keeps repeating itself. The eye test has been used, but they refuse to use it with a team like Cincinnati."
Aresco: "We're not satisfied with just playing in New Year's Day when we have teams this good. The committee has to do some soul-searching."
Mentions Iowa State's loss to Louisiana. "If Cincinnati had that happen to them, they couldn't crack the top 25."

Aresco: "The system is in danger of being derailed now with what I consider self-selected arbitrary factors. It's not being decided on the field. Why play the games? If you're going to ignore a 17-point loss at home, why play the games? I don't know where the goalposts are."
I wrote today about how G5 leagues make their case to the committee, why the Sun Belt is outspoken this year and the CFP chair's non-answers to my questions last night: https://theathletic.com/2264217/2020/12/16/sun-belt-coastal-carolina-rankings/
