Yep, we will never get chosen for that ever, ever, ever.  What on earth makes anyone think that 4 at-large bids are going to be chosen fairly now, when they never have been before?
The football committee will have a much tougher task, trying to whittle the field down to four. Among the factors the committee will consider is won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion

I think this is why Synder wants a CC back.  Could help... :lol:

I'm not all that concerned as long as the big 12 gets 1-2 teams in every year.  $$$$$$
I just want to see KSU win a nc in men's BB or fb once before I die. Prolly won't happen but that's what I want. Picking 4 teams hurts that, but that's not why I'm opposed to the "top 4" format.

The biggest reason that we won't get into this thing is because we can't recruit and won't run the table.

It's not that we "won't get picked." It's that we won't be good enough to be in the conversation.

Let's hope to be a top 25 team, and have fun with that.  Okay?

For me, I have hope that we catch lightning in a bottle at some point...again in my lifetime. It would kinda suck to know we got screwed out of the playoffs because of politics or some bullshit bias.

Reeeeeally can't help but think 4 is just a stepping stone. Like... probably a 2 to 3 year stepping stone. 8 would be ideal. For us, 4 is nearly impossible, and i'm with Pete in being happy as a top 15-25 team. 8 is tough, but attainable.

We hold on against OSU and we are in this thing last year.  A one loss KSU team who got smoked by OU.  It's LSU, AL, KSU and Stanford.  Ultimately you get two laughers in the opening round and get your rightful AL v. LSU rematch.

I DO agree that within 2-3 years of this thing getting implemented the public clamor for a larger playoff will be amazing.

The clamor will never cease and they will continually eff with it.  Everyone's "perfect" hoops tourny keeps getting teams added to it every year.  The moral of the story is what Trim has been saying, there is no possible way to make it fair and people will never quit bitching.

possibly a 130 team playoff with seeding drawn at random via lottery?  neutral sites for every game?

Guys, I think this is a 12 year deal.  They talked about how long the present BCS arrangement has lasted and this is better.

They should never worry about making it fair, they should concern themselves with maximizing revenue, and part of that process is carrying forth momentum from the end of the regular conference seasons . . . and that isn't done by waiting 5 to 6 F_CKING weeks to start the championship determining process.  By the time they get to the major bowls many fringe college football fans have lost interest in college football.   

Why do hundreds of thousands if not millions of people who otherwise wouldn't give a $hit suddenly become interested in college basketball in March?   The current football process is like ending college basketball regular seasons/conference postseason tourney's and waiting until May to start the NCAA tourney.  It's an absolutely DUMBASS process . . . and one reason why TV ratings of BCS bowls are DROPPING.

Hey great, the new "playoff" still renders most of the bowls even the "majors" utterly meaningless unless it's their year to host a semi-final.

They could come up with a process that makes all the major bowls meaningful football games.

The Sugar and Fiesta could be completely effed in the "bidding process" . . . which wouldn't bother me that much, it just basically re-affirms that a playoff system that will generate additional millions every year well above the cumulative bowl payouts is the way to go and select bowls should be incorporated into that process. 

The new system is just slightly less dumbass than the old one.

Or . . .

As has been said, just bag the whole things, go back to the traditional tie-ins, have no "playoff" and let everybody argue about it all year.
