So essentially you go 8-4 (lose all OOC games) win your conference and play for the NC? 4 loss champions baby!


Where is this coming from? How in the world will a 4 loss team be ranked high enough to make a 4 team playoff? And show me a team that's lost all of its OOC games then run the table in a BCS conference. Some of you just like to throw shite out there to make a retarded point.

The problem I have with this 4 team playoff system is the conference champion rule and the risk a team will take by playing in a conference championship game. I really believe that either all conferences will need to determine a champ the same way. In years such as 2001, 2003, and 2011 when Tennessee, Oklahoma, and LSU were all very clearly top 4 teams in the country regardless of the outcomes of their conference championship games, they'd be left out of this playoff with a loss. I have a problem with that when not every conference has that game.

That's a good point, but the alternative is to have the CCG be meaningless. Oklahoma lost and still made it to the Sugar Bowl. LSU could have lost to UGA and still been in the Dome on January 9.
