I am in the minority (yes, I am messican)

I find it highly fucked up tOSU will not have to play a conference championship ... but gets their card punched to the playoffs.

I guess I could get behind a 6 team playoff with the 5 conference champions getting an automatic bid ... and one team AFTER the bowls getting the at large.

But as it sits now ... tOSU should be out. Just my opinion.

They could be the national champ but they can't even win their own conference.

Losers lose.

8 teams. 5 conf. champs. 3 at large.

top 4 seeds host quarterfinals.

This year that would be (assuming things hold the way they should)

1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. UW
4. Wiscy
5. Oklahoma
6. tOSU
7. Michigan
8. maybe USC?

In this case, there will be controversy, but less. if you are angry about not getting in, tough, win your conference.

Agree.

See 1984 for further details.

I'd let in the top Group of 5 champ before a third at large.

solid point. that Alabama team faced a tough OOC slate of Penn State (9th conf game) Kent State, Georgia Southern, and North Texas

There's a chance that Ohio State gets to sit home if Wisconsin beats Penn State in the Big 10.

Just make those 8 teams into the traditional jan 1 bowls, winners into the playoff

Normal progression, but sounds too sane.
