Should be the 6 conference champs...but whatever.

USC or Stanford should get a shot based on the strength of the Pac-12 this year. Given the SEC East and LSU's herp-derp - Pac-12 South was the new SEC West.

It's pathetic that in this day and age we still care about undefeated. Iowa getting in would be like Hawaii getting into the playoff years ago.

Remember when everyone complained about Boise State potentially making the BCS title game - now it's = well we have a committee and they will do the right thing.

It's the same old - same old - AP vote.

Schedule nobody OOC and stay perfect or lose early (or lose to a team people thought was good - Alabama vs. LSU.

Are we going back to the eyeball Bama test or just 1-loss teams?

Pac-12 definitely deserves a rep in the playoff - given how tough the conference was. And if Stanford beats USC, they will have a better resume than Bama, Iowa, Clemson, etc.

Iowa is a great story but c'mon and tOSU blew their one tough game (but hey, Bama blows their one tough game often and still gets the benefit of the doubt) - so why not tOSU

Stanford lost to the fifth best team in the big ten, a team iowa absolutely embarrassed on all fronts.

Iowa and Stanford are mirror images in many respects:

Ball control
Player literacy
Selflessness

Iowa didn't lose to anyone, trounced what is about to be a 10-2, top 15 team, and will have a better win than Stanford if they beat Michigan State. USC is a 4 loss team that hasn't beat anybody that mattered.

You are so ill-informed. They will have blown out top 12 Northwestern @Northwestern. They will have beat top 8 Michigan State on a neutral field. And they will have beaten top 25 Wisconsin @Wiscy.

Yeah...no.

Defenses in the Pac-12 are abysmal. I mean atrocious. Those offenses are good, but not good enough to warrant over half the conference being ranked 80th or worse in Total Defense.

SEC West is the only Power 5 division with every team bowl eligible.
