re: What did yesterday's semifinals games prove, if anything, about selection?

Seems like it's mainly Ohio State fans crying for more teams to get in.

OSU didn't belong in this year. They had the shot to get in. If they got in, they would have played OU yesterday as the #1 seed, and Clemson would have played Bama

Many on this forum, and elsewhere have wanted six teams from the start. I wanted six last year, that didn't change this year, and it won't change next year.

It proved that Bama is head and shoulders better than every team in the country.


Yep, and while Michigan State got thumped, they deserved to be there, just ran into the best team having a great night.

I think it proves that the BCS was the right system. MSU didn't belong on the same field as bama. Last year FSU didn't belong on the field and TCU did. The committee sucks cock.

So are you saying OSU should have been seeded #1 or #2 last year going in? Or that Bama should have beaten FSU for the title last year? When we know OSU was better than Bama

8 team playoff is where I hope


Or at least 6 teams. Yesterday shows everyone has one slip up game during the year. 6-8 would at least get all the 5 majors conferred get in, plus either an 1-3 at-larges get in.

It is laughable that you guys claim that every game in CFB matters, but you want the playoff to go to 8 or 16.

I think MSU did deserve a spot, but as we saw wasn't really "playoff" material once the lights came on.

One of the teams earned a spot in a field of four, "wasn't playoff material", so let's expand the field.

Makes sense.

no TOSU got lucky vs Bama last year. Turnovers did bama in. Oregon or FSU gets buttfricked by bama last year.

FSU had no business being in the playoffs last year, this year really only bama and clemson dissevered a shot at the title. OU lost to texas. MSU lost to fricking nebraska.

The answer isn't 6 or 8 so we can have 4/5 undeserving teams. I have stated before the only team that gets truly screwed by being left out is one that goes undefeated and doesn't make it.

I don't want any more playoff games - 3 will be enough for me....and the beat down of MSU and second half domination of OU tells me we have the correct teams in the championship game.

OSU had the first 2 TOs of that game and were down 21-6. Coming back and scoring 28 straight points isn't luck against a Bama defense.

I'm not saying the playoffs are perfect but Bama and MSU had the same number of losses in 2015. Of course OSU should have likely beaten MSU but they didn't, so crap happens. Just like Auburn probably shouldn't have beaten Bama the kick 6 year

So you're saying teams like Stanford, Ohio State, and Houston didn't deserve a shot with the resume they put together? I think it would have made things much more interesting.

one of them should have been in place of MSU. if we are going to use the committee then why not go with eye test?

Standford shouldn't have lost two games, TOSU should beat the only team on its schedule, Houston lost a game outside of p5

Awesome. Buckeyes would be a lock for at least 7/10.

Ohio State benefitted from poor offensive play calling by Alabama last year just as much as Michigan State benefitted from poor play calling by Ohio State this year. Alabama forgot to use Henry, and Ohio State forgot to use Elliot.

I want a 6 team playoff and the top two get a bye. It rewards then for an amazing season a d differentiates the top seeds from the others.
