    Right now, I think it's going to be

    1. Bama
    2. Oregon
    3. FSU
    4. Ohio State

    I think the committee is going to punish the BIG12 for not naming a true champion despite an obvious tie breaker.

    I love that all this talk of committee-bashing (especially Greeny. My goodness, please STFU) is over 4/5/6.

    Last year, either Bama or Oregon would be pissed right now b/c a sorry undefeated team would bump one of them (probably UO) from the NC. No one would give a f$$* about Big 12 gimmicky teams being in Top 2. OSU wouldn't be in the conversation. How does a computer track a 3rd-string QB?

    Yup. I have no problem with the committee. This is a better system. I know some people want an 8 team playoff, but I just don't see them adding potentially 3 more games to a team's schedule.

    Oregon will be 1st, against Florida.

    No, #1 gets to pick between the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl. #2 gets whichever bowl is left.

    Sweet, Ducks playin' in the Rose Bowl!

    Looks like his quote was just a year too early, "I don't want to play in a Rose Bowl unless I'm playing for a national championship," Oregon receiver Josh Huff said.

    #1.Oregon
    #2.Alabama
    #3. TCU
    #4. Ohio State

    Oregon and Alabama are the easy picks. The next two are tough. FSU has just not played like a dominant team this year.7 of their wins were by 6 or less points, and 4 of those were unranked teams. You just don't see that from dominant college teams. The schedule overall was easier than the other teams in contention. I think they will make the playoffs, I just wouldn't choose them if it were up to me.


    - Baylor beat TCU at home, but lost to West Virginia 41-27, but had 3 wins against strong teams.
    -TCU beat Oklahoma and Kansas, and beat West Virginia, the team that beat Baylor


    -Ohio State got beat by 2 TDs at home to Virginia Tech, but beat Michigan and destroyed Wisconsin.

    Yeah, basically all the pundits are saying we're at the Rose Bowl no matter what.

    We would have to be #1 for that to happen. I don't see OSU passing FSU.

    If the commision's goal is to put the 4 best teams in, I don't see how they can pick Florida State. Just take a look at their schedule. They had 4 wins of +14 points all year, and those was against absolute crap teams. I doutbt they have the balls to leave the only undefeated team off, and listen to the groans...but Florida is not a top 4 team. They will get destroyed.

    They're undefeated. They haven't lost in two full years. They're the reigning champs. They're going to get in. There's really no doubt about it.

    We'll need a tune up game for Bama so FSU can come on down!

    Can't leave out FSU, they haven't lost a game in over two years.

    FSU's schedule is comparable to the Boise State and TCU teams earlier this decade.

    It doesn't matter. They won't be left off.
