re: College Football Playoff using top 4 Conference winners: BCS era

However, in 2011 I would have been VERY upset if the playoff was a 12-0 LSU vs. 11-2 Wisconsin (#10); 11-1 Ok. St vs. 11-1 Stanford.

And that's what will happen with this playoff. Conference winners will be chosen even with two losses over the best team in the country for that year

actually it would be 13-0 LSU v 11-2 Wisky and 11-1 OK State v 11-2 Oregon, using conference winners. Stanford didn't win their conference either, clearly Bama would have gone over Stanford.

Personally I think Bama would have been in that year given that the 4th best conference winner Wisconsin was ranked so much lower and Oregon who won their conference also lost to LSU but by a much bigger margin and the LSU-Bama game was a virtual draw.
