So, we have the SEC, the PAC12, the ACC and the BIG10 conferences represented.

Let the speculation begin.

As a Washington fan, I look forward to playing a great Alabama team.

Ohio State should be out. Penn State won the Big Ten and beat Ohio State.

Penn State’s only chance would have been if the committee held Washington’s non-conference schedule against them. But with Kent State, Pitt, and Temple then Penn State’s wasn’t a whole lot more challenging.

They are represented, but the so-called Big-10, not by its Champion!

Ohio State was beaten by Penn State.

They were also beaten by Michigan but the poor calls by the refs allowed them to win in overtime.

I am a Clemson alum. I watch every game with my eyes half covered and breath held. They are taking years off my life.

They all won their conference games except Ohio State who lost to the Conference champs.

So much for confidences.....

..leaving out No. 5 Penn State even though the Nittany Lions won the Big Ten title game and beat Ohio State earlier in the season.

This FBS CF is an absurd, subjective joke.

Return to the traditional bowl games for the various conference champs and forget the entire 'rankings' hoopla.

Committees as a rule are FUBAR, and this year's FBS is a perfect example .. the wetdream of libtard sportswriters.

Until they actually come up with a real playoff system, and not some peoples opinions, then this is just another set of football games.........

"As a Washington fan, I look forward to playing a great Alabama team."

I expect you'll have to get past Ohio to do so.

A Conference Champion should be automatically awarded a certain number of points that is added to their total.

Ok, how about a 6 team playoff with the top 2 teams getting a bye the first week?

Next time I'll read the article before I start commenting.

Alabama has played Washington four times previously, twice in bowls and not since 1986. Huskies fans were holding up signs at games late in the season, proclaiming "We want Bama."

"Sometimes you got to be careful what you wish for," Washington coach Chris Petersen said on ESPN. "I didn't hold up that sign."

None of this speculation means anything because Alabama will win it all anyway. Roll Tide!

Penn State won the popular vote.

Jill Stein is suing for a recount.

This one is right. Ohio State deserves to be in it as well as a much deserved Washington. Clemson had no worries as VT was their only obstacle.

After watching most of this year, Alabama has their best team in 50 years. The defense is fast and powerful.

For all disclosure I am a Volunteer fan and hate the Tide.

I give credit where credit is due.

Western Michigan was left out of the mix at 13-0 record.

IMHO the committee actually got it right with the 4 best teams.

Yes too bad for PSU, but basically a mulligan was allowed, 2 were not.

My main complaint is that Bama plays at 3 AM Thailand time, wish they had the later game.

Should be a great game. I can’t wait.
