TCU beat a 2-9 team by a margin that was similar to OSU beating a ranked team, plus OSU played one more game and used a third string QB to win yesterday.
It seems from looking at the rankings that there is a clear distinction between the teams with 1 loss and 2 losses. This year I would have put 6 teams in the playoffs. Let eh numbers 3-6 play their way into the semis. If some year tree are 8 teams have 4 first round games.
Adjust the number according to the rankings each year or face the same crap every year as some great teams sit it out.
