the Hoosiers were elite in the red zone, highlighted by a fourth-and-1 stop at their own 5 late in the third quarter.

The Buckeyes should have kicked the field goal. Bill Parcells said, "Always take the points."

It’s great to see Indiana and Texas Tech in the top four…to make the sport interesting there has to be mixing of top teams. To have the same teams at the top year after year makes the sport boring.

Has Indiana ever won a “national championship” during the AP/Coaches poll era?

Buckeyes just switched places with the Hoosiers. They’re ranked #2. Dawgs are #3.

Congratulations to Indiana on its Big Ten Championship! They held OSU to ten points and Im sure the OSU coach is being severely criticized on the call to go for it on 4th down where a chip-shot FG would have tied the game. Still, OSU only scored ten points!

As for 'Bama.... a three-loss team in the playoff over arguably more -deserving two loss teams?! That's a tough sell.

Here is a wild idea. Get rid of the committee which is filled with dishonest idiots and just take the top 12 in the AP poll. Probably solve a lot of problems https://t.co/0vbRtmPAUc pic.twitter.com/6q5tY88XA3

Ohio State should not be in the playoffs. No team that loses its conference championship should be in the playoffs.

Not enough griping about Alabama here.

They lost 3 games and are not a conference champion. They should be out.
A lot of people think a loss in a non season game shouldn’t count, but at the same time they think the conference champion winner should count. Can’t have it both ways.

I think this is what they should do, if they want to keep the current structure.

As they do with the NCAA basketball tournament, have a “Play-In” Game:

Take the best G5 team, which is Tulane, and they should play the lowest seeded remaining power conference team, or in this case, it would have been Notre Dame, because they would be the team that is the lowest seeded of eligible teams.

The winner advances to the playoffs.

I see that all the changes to college football have not changed the time-honored tradition of Notre Dame and Alabama fans bitching at each other.
