Look @ApostleofGrief, douchebag, fellow Roman. Stanford had a good year, great even; but there was no way they deserved to be in the playoff over any of the top four or Ohio State.

If there were 2 1 loss teams LSU doesn't get in that yearFire_Marshall_Bill said:
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:
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:
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).
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. -

Or the undefeated USC that went to the title game over an undefeated Auburn. Southern bias!dhdawg said:

Looking back yeah they probably should have gone with kansas instead

I don't actually think so, Kansas played a horrible schedule that year and deservingly finished ranked like 7th. Just poonting out it wasn't as easy as "pick the one loss teams" as in that instance there was one really shitty one loss team. Kind of like that year's Iowa.dhdawg said:
