Auburn lost to LSU and Missouri lost to South Carolina in overtime. One loss shouldn’t exclude you from the title game. Strength of schedule needs to be factored in. Boise State went undefeated for a number of years. Fresno State almost went undefeated and was knocked off by San Jose State. If being undefeated is the main criterion, then Northern Illinois should be considered for the title game should OSU or FSU lose in their conference title games.

Unless teams from other big-time conferences are undefeated.

I'm so happy to have a playoff system starting to develop so we can hopefully start putting an end to these annual arguments.

To feel you've gotten ripped out of a #1 or #2 ranking is a heck of a lot worse than when we start arguing about who got ripped out of the #4 slot. I'd guess eventually and inevitably down the road we'll be arguing about who got ripped out of the #8 slot.

One loss excludes you when there are 2 other qualified teams that are undefeated...
