Henchman of Santa posted:The best argument I can make is that the Playoff should have the best teams Right Now and that a conference loss in late October carries more weight than a loss in September when you're still figuring things out. By that metric the USC Trojans are #2.

Non-conference matters to show your conference deserves to be one of the four that gets in. If Oklahoma had won their non-conference and the refs hadn't 5th down'd CMU the Big XII wouldn't be on the outside looking in. Conference season matters to determine who the champion is.

So I think Peppers is a great overall player but naming him Linebacker of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year is a joke right?

I mean, I suppose you do still have to go to class Monday/Tuesday, but as far as I'm concerned coasting on Thanksgiving week is one of our rights as Americans. This one is a punch in the gut though: quote:What do you do if you've moved so many times in the past 10 years that you can't remember the schools your kids attended or their friends' names and that your wife, the one person in your life who makes everything right when it all seems wrong, tells you she can't move again?

If Oklahoma had won their non-conference and the refs hadn't 5th down'd CMU the Big XII wouldn't be on the outside looking in. Conference season matters to determine who the champion is. At this point everyone is spouting their opinion of what the playoff committee should weigh more. They never said any one part of the criteria is a must for a team to make the playoff. We all wanted this system over the previous and the only real difference that could be made would be using computers to choose the 4 teams which I'm guessing would put Ohio State in over a two loss Penn State.

Lasagna Pilot posted:I think OSU is definitely in, the question is whether their decision to put OSU in is going to impact their thoughts on putting the 2-loss Big Ten champ in. So for example is PSU going to be evaluated vs. Washington straight up, or are they going to play games as far as deciding whether PSU needs to be in because they let OSU in, or maybe PSU needs to be out because they already have a Big Ten team in. I hadn't even considered that, but if the committee follows the bowl-eligible metric, then PSU should jump Washington (if they both win conf champ games). If they don't then it the committee uses the straight-up W/L record in determining if the teams look similar. Which ever direction the committee goes will create precedent for how metrics are evaluated. I see three scenarios assuming both PSU and Wash win their conferences: If PSU and Wash are both in, then it means somehow the committee found OSU and PSU similar enough to go to the further criteria. If OSU and PSU are in then it means the 'look similar' part wasn't met for Wash and bowl-eligible wins mean a lot. If Wash and OSU are in then it means W/L records can mean more than bowl-eligible wins. Any of these could be invalid if the committee has a broader definition of 'look similar' than I'm using here.

I never thought I would actually miss the BCS. CFP two years ago: sorry TCU and Baylor, you didn't play in a championship game so we are going to penalize you. CFP today: Hey Ohio State! . Congrats on finishing second in your division! Welcome to the playoff. This is not a playoff. It's an invitational. Option 1: six teams. Top two teams MUST be conference champions, and they get a bye. Four at large teams. The highest ranked G5 team no longer receives an autobid Option 2: eight teams. Each power five conference champion receives an autobid. Three at large teams. The highest ranked G5 team no longer receives an autobid.
