    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 see 4 conference champions there...:dunno:

    I see two conference co-champs further down.

    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?

    Crap, I just saw that you and BDSM fan were talking about this in the other thread. Nevermind.

    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.
     
  6. 1. Oregon
    2. Alabama
    3. Florida State
    4. Baylor

    1 & 3 plays in the Rose Bowl?

    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.

    I bet it's us and OSU in the Rose.....
     
  13. Natebishop3

    Natebishop3 Don't tread on me!

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

    I'm better with it being us and FSU first though!

    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.
     
  19. 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.
