Yep. Could be tweaked by drawing from the top 6 but giving conference champions preference over wild cards. So if you have to go all the way down to 7 to get the fourth team, you say forget it and take a wild card from the 3 spot.

That, of course, is assuming FSU would have been 7 under the current formula.

well, you are pretty much against a 4 team playoff. Its not like these rankings are mathmatical truths. FSU was probably 7 and not 4 or 5 because they lost later in the year than UM, tOSU and UT who were 4,5,6.

And like i said earlier, if everyone knows you have to win your conference to make it in the playoff, does OU look at the Big 12 CG differently? To me, this is the best argument against CCG, which I've always hated for reasons like Big12 03, SEC 01 etc. In a perfect world, we would either have conference champs like the Pac 10 the last few years or have CCG only if necessary (09 SEC 2 teams 8-0).
