I think you're going to be disappointed

more than likely the conference champs of major conferences will be the typical representatives - if this wasn't the case they would have more trouble getting buy in from the power players of college football.

As the guy above pointed out, tOSU is a prime example of why they should be left out. The new system will not reward those that play extremely weak schedules, like tOSU did this past season.

Just because of the SOS factor and proven reputation, we'll prolly have at least one SEC and PAC team each, with the other two spots up for grabs. Maybe tB12 gets one some years, or maybe even tBIG but they're no guarantee's, which is the beauty of it.

Correct

granted this is from Wikipedia but parameters above most likely would have eliminated Bama this year and 2011. The ONLY time, IMO, a conference will get a second team in is if several of the conferences have a two or three loss champion.
