Playoff selection shows how fucked we'd be if we didn't get the Big 10 invite
And, for in case you've forgotten, UW was actually behind FSU before their QB injury. If FSU's QB hadn't get hurt, the playoffs would be Michigan, FSU, Texas and Alabama and 13-0 Washington would be shut out. We'd constantly hear about Alabama's quality loss to Texas, how our performances against Arizona, Oregon State and Washington State were so much worse than Alabama's bad performances, and how Alabama performed that Jesus-like miracle by ending UGA's 29 game winning streak.
Bottom line: They're trying to shut out any team not in the SEC or Big 10 from having a chance at the national championship.
They're going to prefer SEC teams over everybody else in playoff selections, but at least we won't be totally constantly screwed over like the non-"Power 2" conferences will be.

But UW got in, and you're still complainingSandra6 said:Just look at Alabama's results this year. They barely cling on to beat 6-6 USF, 7-5 Texas A&M and 4-8 Arkansas. Then they get a total miracle win in the last regular season game vs a 6-6 Auburn team fresh off a loss to New Mexico State, which has been at the bottom 3 of SP+ and FPI almost every year for the last 7-10 years alongside UConn and UMass. This is on top of a 10 point home loss to Texas. Yet they get a playoff bid over a 13-0 ACC team. And this is in a year where the ACC went 6-4 against the SEC, and FSU themselves beat 2 SEC teams.

UW would be left out barring Travis' injury, and yet we sit at #2 in the rankings. You are an idiot.Sandra6 said:Just look at Alabama's results this year.

I'm not saying @Sandra6 isn't right. I'm just saying that if you look at every one of her posts, its glass half empty on everything.phineas said:

Sandra, I'd find a cave somewhere in the congo, club you silly and have my way with you caveman style. , id even hunt and gather so you'd have something in your tummy when the ball sauce trickled on down.

I would say this is the probably one and only situation where UW benefitted from Oregon getting overhyped. The media spent almost two months fluffing Oregon and asking if they were the best team in the country and then UW beat them a second time, and convincingly, in a neutral venue. Would have been hard to leave UW at that point.DerekJohnson said:

I had to point out we were bitching about something that DIDNT happen on the pod, but Stalin had a good point that had UW gotten Arizona instead of Oregon in the championship game format that UW would have been much more open to getting left out, especially if FSU didn't have the QB injury. -
Is she wrong? They clearly favor the SEC and to a lesser degree, the Big 10. I held out hope they might use merit and not media hype, injuries, and TV ratings, but it's clear the sport is completely broken.whatshouldicareabout said:

She is wrong. UW had to win out and beat Oregon a second time and they were in. Guaranteed. Either FSU or bamma would've been left out.DerekJohnson said:
