This is basically the southern negro championship, though, right? If you aren't letting Stanford play!

Yes, two loss Stanford should have been in over undefeated Clemson.ApostleofGrief said:This is basically the southern negro championship, though, right? If you aren't letting Stanford play!

nice try... false dichotomy. They were omitted from the final 4 to START with.dnc said:

Why do you think they were omitted? Because they're white and not from the south? Or because their two loss resume wasn't as strong as the 4 teams who got in?ApostleofGrief said:

Obvious answer is obvious. -
And remember that a one loss Oregon got in last year over allegedly southern one loss schools TCU and Baylor (if you're counting Oklahoma as southern TCU and Baylor are moar southern). Surely there's a conspiracy for the south/against the west.
-
it is obviously biased to the south, why even argue with it?
As far as why Stanford was left out, it was because they left out the Big 12 last year, and so it was their "turn" to go. -
Glad bama favored. Arent they always?

You are 100% right. What a game Stanford-Alabama would have been too. The best team and best player in the country are sitting home for the title game. Way to go committee. Stanford would beat Alabama rather easily. Say 27-23ApostleofGrief said:it is obviously biased to the south, why even argue with it?

If Stanford hadn't lost to Northwestern, they would have been in.ApostleofGrief said:it is obviously biased to the south, why even argue with it?

They lost 2 games and barely escaped Pullman. You need to be banned from talking footballpuppylove_sugarsteel said:

Northwestern? Northwestern went 10-2 in the regular season.
-
Northwestern got smoked by Tennessee.
So you are arguing that Northwestern should get in before Stanford? -

you are selective with your data. You can't count the bowl loss since the decision on who went to the final four was made prior to that. Throw out the loss to Iowa since they won 2nd in the Big-10. The Michigan loss is the only one that looks bad. So you can pin about one unbalanced loss on Northwestern.dhdawg said:

You don't fool the apostle. Don't straw man me or give me false dichotomies.
How many of you assholes think Clemson wins the PAC-12? I don't. Oklahoma wins the PAC? Michigan State?
The problem is we need real playoffs or the biasing continues. -
Clemson wins the pac-12 easily. Oklahoma maybe, Michigan state probably not (although they were lucky to win the big ten. Ohio state would've had a good shot at winning the pac-12

Tennessee destroyed them.ApostleofGrief said:Northwestern? Northwestern went 10-2 in the regular season.
Stanford lost twice. Take care of business (unless you're in the SEC, then you don't have to as much). -
So Northwestern gets in and Stanford still stays homeApostleofGrief said:

there it is again! You can't count the bowl loss since it was AFTER the decision on the final four was made.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

Really, if a PAC team loses to another pac team, that's it, no playoffs. Same thing that happened when the 2000 huskies lost to Oregon, but beat Miami. -

I hate to sound like Sven, but the Pac 12 isn't all that top heavy. I'd put it up against any conference from teams 3-9 or so most years. The Northwestern loss was a better l than I thought (I thought they were 8-4 or 9-3 going into the bowl game), but you really can't expect a playoff with more than one loss 99% of the time, unless you're SEC and get preferential treatment....and even that was a weird year.ApostleofGrief said:
