It better happen if it's LSU vying for a rematch vs Alabama.



one can dream.

The whole LSU vs. Alabama rematch is what made the committee have this way of thinking I believe. No one wants to see a rematch of two teams in the same conference for the championship game.

Oklahoma State got screwed over by the human polls that year. And while it may be true that Alabama had the better loss, it was also true that Oklahoma State had the better wins. The computers preferred them over Alabama, but the humans preferred the Tide over the Cowboys. Some of the humans had an agenda IMO and one of the Harris poll members voted OSU #8. Under previous versions of the formula, when humans only accounted for 1/4th of the formula instead of 2/3rds, the Cowboys would have gotten in.

The only two years that I think a playoff was needed was in 2004, when an undefeated Auburn got left out and 2010 when an undefeated TCU got left out, because I think there's a good chance that the team that got left out might have performed better than the the team that lost the championship game. I have no sympathy at all for teams that didn't go undefeated.
