The only reason Ole Miss or Miss State weren't their typical 8-5 are because LSU and Auburn took big steps back this season. Even Alabama needed time to work out the kinks this season.

Ole miss lost their most dynamic player which does hurt them, but let's be real about something. TCU is fucking legit. The SEC bashing is fun as hell, but TCU isn't some stepchild beating up Wazzu. The Frogz are properly showing the playoff system is a sham at 4 teams. I wouldn't want to go against this squad at all.

If TCU is pissed they CAN ONLY BE PISSED AT THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE.

A four team playoff is enough. If you can't win your conference championship game or win all your fucking conference games (if your conference is too fucking scared to have a championship game) YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE IN THE FINAL 4.

This is the same clueless bullshit SEC (and at the time Big 12) fans used to spew at the Pac10 before it expanded.

Conferences that have less than 12 teams can't have championship games. It has nothing to do with being scared.

Totally agree, and college football conference championship games have been historically uncompetitive. Often, the top two or three teams end up in the same division, so the conference title game ends up being a blow out. Those games have been more about adding a de facto bowl game than about determining the "true" conference champion. During the short period they played a true round robin schedule, the PAC10 had the right formula for determining conference champion. That's about as fair and accurate as you can get, it just risks missing out on a team that gets really hot late in the season.
