Why would you consider your suggestion as "flawed"?

Your setup would actually seem logical for everyone.

Bama claims #1 because that's how they're ranked. FSU claims #1 by being undefeated. Both would play close to home. Who cares what color jerseys they'd wear?

Oregon would also deservedly get to play close to home.

Now your debate would about Ohio State or the Big 12 team. The way tOSU is playing now, they'd beat any Big 12 team.

Should have just kept the BCS. fricking a we wouldn't be in this mess if y'all would have listened to us Alabama fans in 2011 when we said Alabama is the 2nd best and 2nd most deserving team in the country.

No way tOSU gets in

They have a horrendous home loss to a bad team. That should count as a - 1.5 Meaning you are the worst 1 loss team.

Don't lose to a bad team at Home and expect to be rewarded later.

I'm good with those matchups, but I don't think they put FSU vs Bama in the first round for ratings purposes. I think they want a Bama FSU final. If I'm a TV executive in NY, this is how I would manipulate the process to maximize sponsor dollars.

I don't get the purpose for having TCU at 3. They win their final game 55-3 and now you drop them out?

Doesn't make much sense.

I think it's obvious that Ohio State should jump both TCU and Baylor. 12 wins > 11 wins. An undisputed conference championship > shared championship.

Sucks for the Big 12, but they didn't have a championship game.

Its obviously a huge factor or we would be in already. I'm not going to be surprised either way.

My only argument is that it was the 2nd career game for not only our QB but also a majority of the offensive line. It is what it is though.

That's the way it should be. Big 12 SHOULD be punished for caving in to Oklahoma's bitch asses and getting rid of their championship game.

not sure how you can penalize a conference after the fact.

either say up front this shite matters or it should be disregarded.

All this is basically 2007 again except different conference getting the bump. Would we be so up in arms if it was LSU or a SEC team getting the bump over TCU Baylor?

People are complaining mostly because of the team involved.

FSU will be #3. No way they are ranked behind OSU or the Big 12 rep.
