Disagree. Not that it's garbage, because it is, but in the old system we would play Pedo State in the Rose Bowl.
Playing Ohio State/Bama/Clemson in the playoff will be more exciting.
If you're an NFL fan, I guess.
Bowel system is the definition of orange slices and participation ribbons. Play to win it all or GTFO.
8 would be better and 16 would be best, but at least we're moving in the right direction.
Been saying this for years. 16 teams. Power 5 champs get an automatic berth. 11 at large teams. Seed it out 1-16. Higher seeds get home field advantage. Championship game at a predetermined location. Playoffs start immediately after conference championship games. December is now actually fun. And the title game would be Monday night, Jan 2nd this year.
Oh, and cancel all the bowel games. They can go fuck off.
No way they put in a two loss Penn State team over a 12-1 UW team. If they do I will burn everything. Scorched Earth.
They will put them in solely to justify putting tOSU in.
No. They'll realize that Penn state won the head to head, won the division, AND won the conference.
Ohio State is fucked in that scenario.
Yep. Ohio State is rooting for Wisky so they can claim they beat the conference champ in their house and have an overall better resume.
I do think the B1G is a one bid league if Clemson and Washington win out.
I agree with you about the pecking order as well.
It's a heck of a discussion to pick 4 out of UW, Clemson, PSU and tOSU if the first 3 win this weekend.
I really want the B1G to be a one bid league; they are starting to act like 2006 again when they all thought tOSU and Michigan should stage a rematch after finishing collectively with 1 loss (tOSU over Mich). And then both got ass raped in the BCS title game and Rose Bowel. Watching those teams yesterday they all looked like shit and I would love to face one of them (though PSU's QB is starting to scare me- he's got some moxie as a white running QB).

Every reputable internet site suggests that Clemson and Washington are win and in while the B1G champ needs one of them to lose. The underlying assumption is that Ohio State is already in because they had a kickass season except for that debacle at Penn State.
If Clemson and Washington both lose, the B1G gets two teams and the committee is left to choose...umm...Colorado or the Bedlam winner?

This until the sun eventually swallows the earth. There is zero way O high O is not in the playoffs, so selection committee to save face brings the Lions along for the ride if they win.
I know CP doesn't like to run it up, but style points will matter, so if we get up big, keep hammer down. Only need to go back 3 years ago to see it worked when the Buckeyes did it vs. Wisconsin (iirc) in Big 10 Champ game to go from 6 to 3 and leapfrog both Baylor and TCU (sorry tequila)

fuck the big ten
The script is written.
"Playoff" system is garbage and deserves to die.
