If they’re going to keep saying the “best” and not the most deserving, why the fuck do teams even play all year? Just look at rosters and choose the 4 best teams based on talent at that point. Christ.

Wrong. If OU goes to the playoff, we are in the Sugar Bowl regardless of ranking. The Sugar Bowl has to take the Big 12 champ or runner up if the champ is gone.

I always love the ESPN hypocrisy. For all other conferences, the championship game is the playoff to get in. For the SEC, it's the uphill battle that shows you should belong even if you lose.

2-loss Georgia is actually a legitimate contender over two 1-loss conference champions? Ugh, that would be such bullshit. Even UCF is more deserving of being ass-raped by Alabama.

It would set such a horrible precedent. A 2-loss non-conference champion has no business in the playoff. I don’t give a shit about anything else.

I don't know how good Clemson is. They absolutely belong in, they may be the best team, they haven't been challenged since September and played one good-ish team (A&M at A&M) that was a two point game. I just wonder how they'll play against someone good.

If it happens the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Big 12 should just break off and form their own mini tournament because the committee is saying that they don't matter.

They almost lost to Syracuse, but that was Lawrence's first start. They're humming along now and will thrash Notre Dame.

Just remember that the main argument against expanding the playoff to 8 teams is that it would "diminish the importance of the regular season. The regular season is a playoff in and of itself." Unless, of course, you are a SEC team. Then you don't have to win all of your games. Just lose the right ones and you'll be given a second chance.

the fact that they are legit trying all they can to get UGA in is saying all we need.  no need to play the season if they are predetermined   i hope a nationwide boycott happens if they get uga in

A unified, complete bowl protest would be awesome. This precedent effects every conference not named SEC. Lose and not drop, or move UP?!

it's too bad OK State lost Bedlam on a missed XP (iirc). The CFP world would have been so different today. 
Not really. It would be just Ohio St instead of OU. Everything else would be the same.

I like how they've managed to craft a brand new concept with this thing they like to call "the eyeball test."

There is no such fucking thing. All that shit is is "feelings, emotions and biases" wrapped up in a more technical sounding phrase so as to remove the anti-intellectual stigma that group of words conjures up.

Reminder that Finebaum said last year that if UCF ran the table again he would be okay with putting them in the playoff.

Right, it's just like everything else with these motherfuckers. They're ok with X until they aren't.

The important thing changes on what school they want to put in. Remember when you had to win your conference so they put in tOSU over TCU?
