4 Team College Football Playoff

[MixBerryCrunch]

 

Look, at the end of day I think we all need to focus on the positive, and that's that if you could ever choose two teams from the Big 12 to get completely mumped, you couldn't have a more perfect scenario than this.

I TSC as much as the next guy, but I mean, I have to laugh at myself for even caring for a minute that those two piece of crap schools got mumped.

You're right, eff them...but it's about the precedent they have set for the off chance that Kstate is ever in the position that Baylor or TCU were in.

As of last week, BigXII was rated the strongest conf.  This weekend, the trams that were supposed to win, won.  TCU was no. 3 in the nation and won the toughest conf in the country.   This is worse than the BCS.  At very least, their formula must be public or the whole thing should be torn down.  TCU's loss was to the co champ of the strongest conf in the country.

This is ridic, and that is coming from someone who dislikes TCU.

I hate that the 12 got screwed but this is so spot on.

Lol Baylor's PR machine mumped the Big 12 out of a playoff spot. JFC

I believe I said it earlier this year: the only way KSU can get in the playoffs is to go undefeated (this is likely for any Big 12 team).

Texas or OU wouldn't have gotten jumped.

[Mr Bread]

Ohio State isn't getting penalized for their crap loss.

Better excuses and recency/primacy?  Lost a superstar QB right before the season starts.  Early loss with a brand new QB and o-line.  It's like it barely even happened.  Now they have an experienced o-line and another new QB and look what they did just did.  Wow! Two different teams offensively. 

More importantly of course, it's Ohio State vs. Baylor and TCU.  The money wants them there.         

Jesus.  Baylor lost Petty for a while too you dumbfuck (no offense).  And it's Virginia Tech...at home.  Quit making excuses for it.  Saying how shitty you thought a team was doesn't mean when they aren't that's like some reason for why they are good.

Those aren't my personal beliefs, just possible justifications.  Still Baylor's loss didn't happen when Petty was hurt.  If it it did, then it would have helped them.  Plus, losing early is also better than losing late.  Improvement, progress, momentum!

06Luke, you're right!

[Panjandrum]

We're focusing on the number of conference games, but it's the number of overall games that are screwing with people.

The thirteenth game is that one last chance to either prove yourself or get tripped up.

I guarantee you that someone in that room said if TCU played a thirtieth game against, say, VT, they may have lost, too.

We're going to go to twelve one way or another.  Welcome Cincy and Memphis.

[joda]

It's pretty obvious what we need to do, add 2-4 crappy teams (hello Tulane  ) so the good teams only have to play 1 or 2 hard games each season and get to beat the crap out of a mediocre team in the conf championship

So basically OSU for pushed ahead for BS reasons? Committee saying the my picked 4 best and using eye test as part of it is their way to put big $$ teams in

eff you pete. i'm pissed for those schools and their fans. ou or texas with the same resume gets in. i mean we can all laugh and act like being a big time school doesn't matter because it's lame to complain about it and everything, but if it were ou and tu with the same resumes, one or both would've got in. it it was purdue with the osu resume, they probably wouldn't have. this new system is bullshit and everybody here should be pissed. 

[Pete]

Paul Finebaum, is actually supporting the Big 12....on the whole "how do you move from 3 to 6 in 5 days" point. 

[Mr Bread]

A non-blue blood big 10 team would have gotten less respect than Baylor or TCU did imo.  Purdue wouldn't have gotten the bump up and then bump out.  Everybody would have just agreed they were out unless a bunch of teams above them lost. 

[SkinnyBenny]

Ohio State lost at home to this team.

[DOD Take 2]

This committee is crap. How can Jeff Long not know how many votes changed, how many times they revoted, how many different voting outcomes happened? He was clearly making up answers on the spot.

I agree with that.  I think that will always be a weakness of this system.  It similarly (but less dramatically) impacts basketball tournament selection.

[EMAWzified]

 I'm kind of tempted to ignore the whole thing, but I guess I'll hope OSU and FSU gets crap-pounded. I don't really have much sympathy for Baylor, which should have scheduled someone in the non-con. TCU, on the other had, got screwed. But Gary Pat is kind of a dick.

[scottwildcat]

lol man, i expected better out of the playoff selection committee.

[Frankenklein]

TCU Horned Frogs...More like TCU Leaped Frogs

[michigancat]

Condeleeza must have really been pms'ing pretty hard last night

[DOD Take 2]

Chris Fowler and Lou Holtz both alluded to committee taking OSU was easy choice so it doesn't piss off multiple conferences. That is such a joke. Committees job is to make tough decisions and answer for them. If they really took that into consideration they should be fired (not that we'd ever find out if they really did)

OMG!  That's their rough ridin' name forever, now.
