Who's your top 4 (Playoff) college teams?

[paceram]

One other thing 8 does is guarantee that the BCS conferences will all likely have a representative. Since those conferences do what they can to avoid playing each other during the season, it's very difficult to get a true read on who are the best teams. The SEC cannibalizes itself during the season, if Alabama had lost yesterday, could you imagine a playoff without an SEC team? If I wasn't a Missouri fan, I'd probably feel a little bad for the Big 12 screwing itself and TCU and Baylor in the process.

How long do you think it will be before the Big 12 decides to add a Conference Championship Game?

They probably started talking about it as soon as they realized there was a good chance they'd be on the outside of the playoff. This link seems to have a good breakdown of the money involved, but it looks like each team in is worth $6 million to its conference. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ues-money-distribution-bill-hancock/12734897/

TCU wins 55-3 and drops from #3 to #6? Being an FSU fan I am just happy they are in the playoffs! Believe me - I was not sure they would! Not a big fan of this Playoff Committee but I do think they got the final 4 correct!

I think they need to add 2 teams in order to be able to do so. IIRC a conference needs 12 teams to have a champ game?

TCU should have been in over Ohio State. OSU got in on name value.

But I do like the match-ups. Saban vs. Meyer. Mariota vs. Winston. It's what I had predicted/expected they'd do.

 

[Athos]

IMO, after watching FSU's D, especially early on in games, and with Winston's penchant of throwing early picks, Oregon could blow that team out of the fucking water in the 1st half.

Anyway, while OSU deserved to get into the playoffs.....TCU deserved it. OSU lost to a 6-6 VT by 14. AT HOME!

TCU lost by 3 to BU and creamed KSU, and beat 4 teams who were ranked when beaten.

Well, it won't be. I don't care what Ohio State did with their #2 and #3 QBs. That's who they had to play. TCU lost arguably their best defensive player in Devonte Fields before the season.

TCU deserved to make it. The reason the Big 12 did that was not to sneak TWO teams in. It was to keep from TCU being eliminated on that idiotic technicality.

TCU lost to a top 10 team. Ohio State lost to a shitty Virginia Tech team. TCU and Ohio State both played Minnesota, TCU beat them by 23 while Ohio State won by 7. TCU won in blowout fashion this last weekend. So did Ohio State.

Ohio State did not EARN their way in. They got in on name value. TCU deserved to go...and imo, TCU would beat Ohio State on a neutral field.

Ohio State blowing out Wisconsin just gave the Committee the excuse they needed to put them in. The Big 10 was unbelievably shitty this year.

And Ohio State played in a considerably weaker conference. That's an excuse. Ohio State got in because of the name and money associated with the program.
