College Football Playoffs

[PLDragons24]

Ohio State it is

[Crimson's Ghost]

Very predictable.

[sparky]

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida state
4. Ohio state


Did the fact of Saban vs Meyer factor into the decision at all? For a marketing perspective I think it has to.

[Crimson's Ghost]

Ohio State has more fans, national appeal than TCU and Baylor combined. That played a role.

I freaking hate this system already. This is bad. By appeal you mean market and market means money. The only way to fix this is expand to 8 or 16.

I have no problem with FSU, Bama, and Ore, but Ohio State? Really.

Last year when everyone was excited about there being a college playoff, those against it said that instead of 3 arguing they should be in, teams 5 and 6 will have an argument. While this has played out exactly that way with TCU and Baylor being left out, can we all please just agree this is way better than before? Before, it would have been Alabama vs. Florida St championship while Oregon looks like they are unanimously one of the top 2 teams in the country, being left out. At least this year, we can still agree that Oregon being left out would be much more of a travesty than TCU, Baylor, or even Ohio St. for that matter, being left out. Those three teams should be happy that they were even in the discussion to have a chance at a national title because past years, they would have had a 0% chance.

Having a 4 team playoff is much better! Having this committee is not better. I'm still perplexed at a power team going undefeated all year and not being the #1 seed.... Let alone they were undefeated last year when they won the national championship!

4 team system is great the humans that decide them is not

[Crimson's Ghost]

I'm fine with a four team playoff. I don't think every year will play out this way, I'll give it another year or two to say I hate it.

For what it's worth, someone calculated the old BCS rankings.

1. Alabama
2. Florida State
3. Oregon
4. Ohio State
5. TCU
6. Baylor

So basically, the computers would have ranked them the same way.

But I thought the committee had no clue.... Those who think the committee did a bad job will never be happy.
