    Without a playoff they never would have got that chance. The system worked for once.

    It worked for OSU but it did not work for TCU. Until the Big 12 minus 2 has a real end of season championship game it will not work for them unless one of those teams goes undefeated or they switch to an 8 team playoff. Their commissioner is doggedly stating they will not add teams nor have a championship game. Until then, this will not be a fair system for that league.

    Until the Big 12 commissioner stops being moronic about not having a championship game I won't feel bad about them being left out in similar circumstances. The selection group made it patently clear that in close decisions a true conference championship game carries a ton of weight and is the reason OSU moved up. It's not hard, there's about 35 million football teams in Texas just add a couple and call it a day.

  • As far as the playoffs - I think it would be good for Div I to go to 10 (11 max) regular season games, a conference championship and then an eight team playoff. That way, OSU could have demolished TCU, Alabama, and then Oregon....

  • tOSU would have murdered TCU. Want to go to the playoffs? Don't give up 61 points and blow a 21 point 4th quarter lead.

    In January 2015, TCU loses to OSU 10 times out of 10.

    Oklahoma.. got stomped by Clemson.

    OSU.. barely beat Washington?

    Baylor.. lost to MSU.

    WVU.. lost to TA&M.

    KSU.. lost to UCLA.

    TCU stomps Miss.. but "SEC dominance" was running on fumes the last 2 years, and this year that thought has [mercifully] been vanquished.

    Should TCU have replaced FSU in the game vs OU? That's a legit question, and I say yes.

    But TCU at no point beats OSU.

  • TCU is a good reason to expand the college playoff to 8 teams. I'm sure it could be worked out.

    I suggested reducing the season to 10 games and expanding the playoffs.

  • A 4-team playoff is just fine.

    But let's say you add TCU... and likely Baylor. Who else? Would you dip into two-loss teams? All that is accomplished by adding more is diluting the competition.

    No matter how many are eligible there will always be at least one team on the outside looking in that will have a legitimate case for 'being included".

    Only thing I would change is the time between the semi's and the final. Just seems like two-weeks would be more fitting.

    yep...agreed...4 teams is plenty

    No matter what....the "next guy" that doesn't make it will always feel slighted......whether he's #5, #9 or #73....
