I disagree with most of you guys. A 2 loss conference champ still has 2 losses. Those losses have to mean something otherwise, what's the point in playing the games. So some of you are saying that you'd be okay with UF getting in over us if they win tonight and next week, even though Bama is clearly the better team?
We talk about the regular season has to count, well then you can't just throw out the losses for conference champs.
This is about getting the 4 best teams, not the 4 best conference champs. I think OSU is one of the 4 best teams right now. Did they look great today, no but they played the #3 team in the country. It was going to be a tough game.
Sorry Wisconsin and Penn St., you got 2 losses. Congratulations on winning the conference but you shouldn't have lost 2 games if you wanted clear shot at the playoffs.
It's an interesting discussion and I'm not against a 2 loss Penn St getting in, I just don't think they should automatically get in over a 1 loss team. Your losses have to count the same as your wins IMO.
EDIT: Don't forget, Penn St. loss to Pitt, that's not a good loss. That has to count for something IMO.
