Same Scenario Next Year With a Four Team Playoff...

Guess which prestigious program would have earned yet another trip to the "championship series" without having won their own division, much less their conference, while playing the weakest schedule (again, by design) in their conference.
You people here don't think this four team playoff next year isn't going to be a farce when it comes to the "big time" programs like Bama, USC, Ohio State, etc, when the chips are down and ratings are needed?
Losing big November games are going to become LUXURIES for these teams. Rest up while some other dumbass school plays the extra games to either earn the right to play undeserved rematches in the final 4, or lose out of the final 4 completely. (This could happen to Auburn if the playoff was happening this year and they lost the SECCG).
Oh yeah. I've got my popcorn.

Said this when they announced 4 team playoff. SEC gets screwed. We have 3vs4 possibly in the SEC Champ. Loser gets screwed and a 5 ranked Bama automatically makes it.

This is tough because let's say ASU beats Stanford next week. I have a hard time saying ASU should be in that playoff over Bama. But, if they want conference champions only, that's fine.

It's up to a committee and I'm pretty sure they are going to heavily weight winning your own conference.

Only teams that won their division and/or conference should be eligible for the 4 team playoff.

What's the fricking problem?

This selection committee is going to be full on corruption/bias at its finest. It will be an even bigger joke than what we see now.
