re: BCS has achieved consensus on 4-team seeded playoff.

Completely agree. LSU lost the national title last year because they played and beat Oregon. Had they not scheduled that game, or even lost it, Alabama does not play for the national title and LSU still does (against Oregon). LSU and Oregon were punished for playing an elite foe, which is an absurd outcome. LSU was further punished for beating Bama the first time, having to beat 10-win Georgia to qualify for the BCSCG.

LSU would have been better off not playing Oregon or losing to Bama, maybe both.

Bingo. LSU and Oregon both got screwed for playing tough OOC games.

In 2011, you literally crowned a National Champion (Bama) who was allowed to ride the coattails of a conference rival that they LOST TO AT HOME into the BCSNCG. Bama literally sat back, allowed LSU to do all the dirty work by winning the SEC, beating the Pac 12 and Big East Champs (on the road) and beating Bama at home. Bama's ticket to the BCSNCG was punched simply bc they had the "best loss" to LSU. Unreal.

Yet fans bitch when teams refuse to schedule tough OOC games. Why do that? Look at Bama's OOC schedule last year as well.

All this is going to do is further frick up the sport. Now you will have one team that earned their way in, with ESPN pushing 3 media darlings to take the other spots.

I can't wait to be proven right.
