By virtue of not winning a conference championship OSU should have been the fourth seed.
nope...resume, it’s all about the resume and the total body of work; OSU goes 3-1 against the Top 10, nobody else did that, and that’s what improves their seeding, not back room lobbyng...but conspiracy theories are ever so much fun, aren’t they...?
I think they should have the 5 Power Conference Champions automatically in
except Florida and VaTech, two teams with three losses, could have pulled the stunnng upset over two teams whose body of work was embarrasingly superior to theirs; and you talk about flaws in the system being exposed...conference championships should be based on the two best teams playing off, not on some artificial division loosely based on geographic location...
OSU goes 3-1 against the Top 10, nobody else did that,
do your research a little harder, IrshBrigade; Michigan also went 3-1 against the Top Ten...
Do you remember when Bama was killing Notre Dame in the championship game..
I’m getting a migraine just thinking about it...wasn’t that the game that Musberger started salivating on the air over the Bama QB’s girlfriend...? But, then again, at least that girlfriend was real...
Yep...couldn’t quit talking about the girlfriend. The last few SEC games have been his farewell tour, with fond remembrances etc. No clip of his salivating though.
You knew that as soon as the 4-team playoff format was adopted there would be near immediate pressure to expand.

Katherine Webb, her name was...a former Miss Bama, and wow, I just want to tell you, what a beautiful woman, whoa...

it can’t expand until meaningless conference championshps are elimminated..
They should just drop back to a 10-game regular season & eliminate the tune-up game. The elite conferences are too big to do without a championship game, IMO.
That problem is solved the way I solve identical file names on the puter. Just call it The Big 10a.
I'd offer that the ACC, Pac 12 and Big 12 are better conferences because they are stronger across the board, tho the B12 is a bit down this year.
