It's kind of hard to take college football seriously for this very reason IMO. Why even play conference championship games? The playoffs ought to have some real criteria that doesn't include "the eye test." I don't know...maybe one criterion could be winning your conference?

War Chickens probably could get in had they won the SEC champ game.

I would be in favor of winning your conference being an automatic bid. But the problem is, there are 5 conferences, but only 4 spots. So you have to expand the playoffs to atleast 6 teams for that to work.

So you'd be ok with Stanford getting in the playoff if they'd have beaten USC?

Look, I want an 8 team playoff where P5 conference champs automatically get in, along with 3 at large. But with the current format, conference champs is ONE factor, but not the ONLY factor. OSU lost twice, both badly. You can't ignore that.

to try to win a championships??

Fans who think the only validation is a national championship are what is wrong w the whole game

Why does any LSU fan care about it this much? We were out if it in September.

You mean like the computers? Remember those? Everyone hated them and got their influence reduced after 2003 when Oklahoma got in over USC after OU LOST their conference title game.
