re: Oregon and FL State are two best teams

This is the real problem with college football overall, no one really knows anything 
For example, the Pac 12 has looked very good this year, but they haven't beaten anyone who people really thing is national title good. Clemson is prob the only team who beat a top team from another conference this year.
The best OOC wins last year for the Pac 12 were probably Oregon beating up on K-State and Stanford winning the Rose bowl by 7 on a neutral field. K-State was good but not great last year and Wisky was a team who was 3rd in its own division.
The only time you can "prove" you're good is bowl season, when it's already way too late since the national title game is set.
Lets say the top 4 teams as of today go undefeated, since it's possible for all 4 to do so. The Pac 12/SEC champs play for it all. What if the ACC really is good this year, and they go like 5-2 in bowls? It's too late to fix the problem
A 4 team playoff solves that problem ONLY IF they are willing to take a 1-loss ACC champ over a 1-loss SEC non champ

Now you know why I have such a beef with tOSU being ranked in the Top 5.
During this big Urban "win streak" from last year - We STILL have no idea how good tSOU is...and may not...until the BCS Title game.
tOSU never had to play a BCS Bowl game last year - so we could see how this Urban Meyer version of Ohio State measures up against the best.
We don't know because of the sanctions. And the perception is toward - they aren't good enough and given tOSU's recent history - nobody is going to give them the benefit of the doubt - very few want to see them matched up against the SEC's best...ugh, been there - done that enough. What a middle finger to the neutral public that would be.
tOSU may go two years w/o playing a real contender until the ultimate game.
That's not fair to all the other contenders. That's Boise State pathetic. Gearing up for one game...in going on a long undefeated run.
