Context is tough to grasp sometimes. No one cares who Texas or OU played this year. No one. Especially when the past 40 pages of this thread were about the playoffs.Forgive me for reading B12 and thinking you meant B12. From now on I'll treat your words as not being worthy of consideration.We were talking about the big boys, Baylor and TCU, not the also rans.

Absolutely not. The committee isn't watching the games either. Using only computers is the best approach.

Was this pre 1980 or something? For as long as I've paid attention to CFB, this is never how it's been.timschochet said:

Alabama is going to be tough as #### to beat but I'm excited the Buckeyes at least get a chance.
I think the way it's morphed is silly. But that's the way it is now. They should now push for a bunch of 16 team conferences where all division opponents play each other and the conference championship is an actual play-in game.
Actually the best approach would be to take all subjectivity out and say all D-1 conferences have to have a championship game and only the champions are eligible for the playoffs. I'd love to see how that shakes out. Maybe the B12 combining with Mountain West for a super conference.
BCS would have had FSU and Alabama/OregonSinn Fein said:
Because that's how they've been doing it since they went to ten teams. I don't understand why a decision that would have been made in a boardroom in May is such a big deal to people. It has no impact on what actually happened on the field. I think they like Ohio State more and just went with that. Hard to take issue with it in my opinion.
Don't have a problem with any of the selections. They bumped FSU to send them out west and put emphasis on conference champion by bumping OSU.
No surprise. People had a hard time processing the process all along. Just look at how bad some of the posts were in here last night.
Yeah....I don't put much stock in this. I've never seen the polls behave like they did this year. They moved teams around a lot more than they did in the BCS era, which was refreshing to see, but in the end that kind of behavior kinda nullifies the "what the BCS would have produced" argument. Had they continued voting like they did under the bcs, then we could talk.
Teams playing a conference championship game play an extra game and the potential for "co champions" isn't a concern. Those are two reasons they considered to be positives over the B12 and potential for co champions.
That would mean that FSU was fourth (unless we are dropping Alabama to fourth in this scenario). Several were furious that FSU could be at four last week, so I don't think the bold is true at all.
You really think that's what their coaching staffs asked of their players? Wait on playing hard until late on the 2nd Q and THEN unleash hell?
Committee would have been generous to put them 4th, as it is they simply overlooked their Mission Statement to pick the 4 best teams.
New Year's Day is back, and in a big way. Might be the best thing about this whole deal.
Still don't see a better team than FSU. Not getting enough respect for beating everyone on their schedule and playing well in crunch time. Jimbo's players have a lot of steel.
One less game their teams had to play = less chance for another loss.
Most of my friends don't do much on NYE and get together at a bar on NY Day to watch the games. I usually end up having to walk/stumble home from the bar. It's perfect with NY Day on a Thursday and having Friday off this year.Not really Wisconsin was not a great team. Heck the Big 10 was probably the worst of the P5 conferences. Yet the $$ and name of Ohio St, gets them in over better teams. If you had Ohio St vs TCU or Baylor. Ohio St goes home with the loss.
I don't agree with that at all. It was the kid's first game, and he looked great. Pretty much impossible to tell who is better between Baylor and Ohio State.
Bama should win but this is going to be a closer game than people think.
Which Conference was better this year?
