The only controversial playoff team wins

And the committee got it wrong?
This proves the committee got it right. FSU was easily the worst team but they were the only undefeated team.
What's wrong with you people?

Why didn't they rank OSU #1 then?

Who cares about seeds with only 4 teams. The correct 4 were in based on the season. Would it be better with more teams and give tcu a chance? Maybe.
Tcu and Baylor had awful ooc schedules and their conference was weak outside of those 2.

Sorry for owning you

I was saying the 4 teams selected was correct, not the seeding. But good job on "owning" me.

Give up already.

TCU still has an argument though.
Lost to baylor on the road
Ohio State lost to West Virginia at home.
TCU took care of business in their bowl game and blew out a top 10 team from the SEC, who beat the #1 team.
Ohio State could have won their games 100-0 and 100-0 it still wouldn't stop the argument, or win it for that matter.
4 teams is not enough, this year it only came down to two teams, but I can see one year. You have two clearly in teams and 6 or 7 teams all with a case to make the playoff. The two teams who make it lay an egg and get blown out, the other 4 teams who didn't make it blew their opponent out.
We need 8 teams for a playoff. The difference between #4 and #5 is not big enough for you to consider that you are crowning an "undisputed champion"
between #8 and #9 is completely different.
Note: College football is the one sport in all levels of sports that humans and polls determine who has a shot at the title. Ok yeah that happens in the college baseball and basketball, but teams on the bubble rarely win those things anyway. TCU could have beat Ohio State Bama and Oregon. Same with Baylor.

I'm sorry tcu shite all over your shitty team. If we'd have known you'd be this butthurt at us hogs we would have let you score a fg or two.

I think they got the top 4 correct, but TCU blew out an SEC team. I think we need an 8 team playoff. It won't happen till 2020 something.

Difference between 8 and 9 is much smaller than between 4 and 5.
Posted on 1/12/15 at 11:36 pm to dbeck
System is dumb but better than previous one.
Posted on 1/12/15 at 11:37 pm to dbeck
TCU , probably had a Decent case, but I'd say they got it right...
Posted on 1/12/15 at 11:39 pm to catholictigerfan
Good point. I agree they should have the best team from each of the power 5 and still include an at-large. 6 teams seems like the right number but the byes would make it pretty unfair.

Calm down bro. Sorry for getting you mad

But in this era of college football 5 teams can consistently content for a national championship and could win it. 9 teams is a lot less likely. Yes there is a smaller difference between #8 and #9, but almost every year #5 could beat #1-#4 that probably won't be the same for #9.
You still don't crown a true national champion in college football right now. I mean you get the trophy you are called #1, but saying that OSU is better than TCU based on everything else other than them playing it out on the field.
Note: I don't think 8 is enough either, but there is a point in college football where the regular season would become pointless if you extend it to to many games.
With a 8 team playoff, you have Major 5 auto bids (Pac 12 Big 10 ACC SEC Big 12) 3 At-large. I think this way you know that the best from each conference have a chance to play. If a mid major is impressive they get a chance.
There are multiple plusses to this system. I think there is less controversy, because it's simple win your conference (not mid majors) you are in. So conference games still mean something, and so do OOC.
Maybe you add in a top 15 requirement or something, so that if a conference champ has a bad record they still don't get in. Like Oregon goes 12-0 in the Pac 12 and losses to UCLA who snuck into the conference championship and upsets oregon.
I personally think the less human's play a role in who gets in and it's more who won on the field, the better.
It's that way in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, College Basketball, College Baseball, lower Divisions in College football, High School. Guys in suits in a locked room shouldn't have the power to cut out a team who has a legit chance to win it. College football is the ONE sport that this happens in.

8 seems like a better solution. Takes rankings completely out of it, except those at-large schools.
If you are in a power 5 conference and win your championship, I think you deserve to play for a title. Again no-other sport in existence can a team win their conference championship and have no shot to play for the title. (conference/division in pros) (note: I don't know how soccer playoffs work, so that might be one)

We should not do anything to lessen the importance of the regular season further.
