Bama would be out due to not wining their conference. It would have been Okie St.... right?

2 Bama vs. 3 Okie St
1 LSU vs. 4 Stanford
If they did top 4 teams.

Conference Champion is not gonna be a must to make this new 4-team playoff system....

I thought this too but I keep hearing talk about conference champions only. What's up with that?

No clue how the selection committee would rank the teams but I think Bama woulda come in 3rd behind Ok St who won their confrence.

"Among the factors the committee will consider are won-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion. The selection committee will also play a part in creating matchups for the games at the four sites that do not hold a semifinal in a given year."

I would bet they put bama as the 4th place team to play lsu in the semis and avoid an all sec championship.

LSU and Bama would have played in 2011 with a playoff. The only question is, would it have been first round or championship game.

"whether a team is conference champion" is gonna be used as a factor to help a teams chances of being one of the 4. Not gonna have to be a conference champ though....

Based on what I've read, a Conference Championship will be given a certain weight so:
1. LSU/Oregon
2. UA/OSU
imo
1. LSU/Oregon
2. UA/OSU

Remember the eyeball test?
ESPN opinions will influence this committee.

Think Oregon would have gotten in over Stanford with a committee choosing.

Oregon or Stanford most likely.

1. LSU v. 4. Oregon
2. OSU v. 3. Alabama
The committee would have made Bama a 3 just to quiet the "you must win your conf. crowd", but realistically it would make no diference between 2 & 3 because the game would be at a neutral site.
Oregon beat Stanford head to head, so Stanford would be out. Wisconsin and the Big 10 would have pitched a fit, but Oregon had the better resume.

its so that the regular season "matters".
and I like it.
I liked when the NCAA basketball tournament was the 14 conference champions and the two best Catholic independents.
The runners up all went to NYC for the NIT, which field often included an ACC team which had had pretense of winning the natty.

THIS.
Bama might have been 2 and OSU 3, but it doesn't matter anyway. Oregon would have gotten the nod over Stanford because of head to head and Conf champ deal.
And under this nightmare scenario, LSU would have had to play both Oregon and Bama a second time...assuming they even beat Oregon the second time (which wouldn't have happened the way LSU played in the title game)

1-LSU 2-Okla St 3-Oregon 4-Wisconsin
I believe the four conferences represented by these teams will be in the playoff almost every year. Only under exceptional circumstances will a playoff team not be a conference champion. The intent is to spread out the participation with the regular season conference games used as the elimination rounds. Notre Dame might make it in some years, and perhaps two teams from one conference if two conference champions had already met during regular season (the loser of that game then left out.) Stated another way, the LSU-Bama game in Tuscaloosa would have been for all the marbles, with Alabama eliminated.
