I totally agree. I have never been a fan of any CCG, but as we all know and like to say, it is about the money. I also agree with KrAzY, in what universe is 10-2 better than 11-1. PSU got blown out by Michigan and loss to a 7-5 Pitt team that gave up 61 points to Syracuse yesterday. As I said before, if Washington beats Colorado and Clemson beats Va Tech, then the winner of the PSU vs Wisconsin gets the Rose Bowl.
Actually I hope you are right because we would have a tougher out with Washington than PSU.
Which is an absolute travesty. I don't want a 3-loss team winning the championship. This isn't the NFL, the regular season should still matter.
Not necessarily. I just mean in general. If you expand the playoffs to 8 teams, a 3-loss champion becomes a possibility, and that simply can't be allowed to happen.
PA Tide Fan;2933758 but I think after the conference championships it could look like this: 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Clemson 4. Wisconsin or Penn State[/QUOTE said:I'd bet anything that's how it will look at the end of next weekend.
Washington will be the odd man out and the Big 10 will get 2 teams. I actually think we could lose the SECCG and still get in. Why test it though.
This. PSU beat OSU. If they win the conference they should be in, and if UW and CU win they should be in.
OSU is clearly one of the 4 best teams. PSU clearly is not, same for Colorado. The playoff should be about getting the 4 best teams, IMO.

But Penn State beat Ohio State.
MONEY IS INVOLVED? Next thing you will say it TV ratings are a factor! And the fact the PAC 12 hasn't been in the playoffs yet. Then you will want to point out that if the big 10 gets the the #2 and #4 seeds it could be an all big 10 NCG. Where's my blue font? Gotta be here someplace!��First off, just like the BCS, this is all subjective and in the hands of a group of PEOPLE who (no matter what they state) all have their own agendas.
Secondly, it's about the money matchups. This is not really entirely about getting THE BEST 4 Teams in the playoff.
If Bama goes undefeated we make it in and I'm not too entirely concerned about any of the other teams that might make it in to challenge us. on TideFans.com
I agree, but then the conference championship has to be taken into account as well. It carries weight with the committee. I would also take into account how teams are winning as well. OSU they way they won, though they did win, over a 2-7 MSU team was terrible. I believe Penn State at this point is more deserving than OSU. Michigan should be a no go.
But Pitt beat Penn State. You have to look at the entire body of work and OSU is clearly better than Penn State.
