Both Michigan and Ohio St should be on the outside looking in. If you can't win your own conference, you have no business playing for a title.

I totally disagree. Big ten is the best conference in football now, and have several very good teams. They beat the shit out of each other. I do believe that UM and OSU are still in the top-4 in the country, and present the best chance or knocking off Bama.

unde I think you know this. You just don't like the Big ten for some reason... whateva

The Big 10 does not deserve 2 teams in a 4-team playoff. Take a look at that conference and you'll see a lot of crappy teams. Let's hope those Playoff Head Honchos learn from this and expand to an 8-team playoff. 5 conference champs and 3 at-large.

The mission is not to spread the wealth throughout the conferences. The mission is to select the 4 best teams.

If you think Oklahoma or Washington is better than two teams in the big ten, I disagree.

Look at those numbers... HUGE dropoff from #3 to #4

[sportsfan9698]

and you think the winner of PSU vs Wisky should be the big ten representative?

stupid PC bs - the best teams are UM and OSU

[LT Profits]

If they all win....it will be #1 Bama, #2 Clemson, #3 Washington, and #4 Ohio State....you have to reward the championship with something...higher seeding at the very least.

No way Ohiio State is #4, they will probably stay #2 or at worst drop to #3 - not that the order of 2 and 3 matters at all. Committee will want Alabama vs. Ohio State championship game.

[LT Profits]

Can we all be honest here. This playoff is also set up to maximize ratings and money. Penn state does not draw interest period. They would be 14 point dogs to any team they played in the playoff. Who really wants to watch them play? Alabama/Ohio state/Michigan/Clemson. These are the teams we want to see. Maybe Oklahoma but they don't have a shot to get in. They put these games on one of the hardest days to draw ratings so they need to be teams that people will cancel their plans to watch. Penn state is not one of those teams. Let's just move on the 4 teams will be set with the above

Alabama -24 over Penn State
Ohio State -14 over Penn State
Clemson -7.5 over Penn State
Washington -7 over Penn State

[LT Profits]

Big Ten Champ is jumping Michigan, so no, they aren't in.

It will be
Bama
Ohio State
Clemson
Washington
Big 10 Champ
Oklahoma
Michigan

This looks good except I would flip-flop Michigan and Oklahoma. Michigan the clearly superior two-loss team.

Big 10 is a pussy conference. There is 4 teams that are worth a shit then the rest of the schedule is basically bye weeks. I guarantee if Michigan gets in and plays Bama they will get routed by at least 28+. Their offense is a pile of shit but piled up the points early on cupcakes making themselves look good, even though they had probably one of the most embarrassingly easy schedules of all time.

He's not. Earlier this season he said the acc was the best conference in college football. That turned out well

USC would kick both UM and Ohio State's butts and do so rather easily. The "Big Game" was a big bore for over three quarters. This is all hype and noting else. Now the Committee can do this two ways. If they want the best four teams as of today, you get Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and USC. If they want Conference Champions, you get total chaos. If Florida, Wisconsin, Colorado and Va Tech all win out, would that be your Playoff list? Neither one of those scenarios will happen. Instead, you will get some combination of wins and losses to determine who plays who. No matter what happens on Friday and Saturday, someone is going to be pissed off on Sunday for being excluded from the Playoffs.

Michigan does not want to play USC

Jimmy rather not play a bowl game

[unde0087]

Big 10 will be exposed as frauds come bowl season
