How many times are the BCS going to exclude the Big 10 champs?
As many times as they take 29 pt beat downs by unranked teams

Actually there were only TWO one loss teams and only one could get in (and NO one was not named Michigan
).
Yes OSU slipped up or there'd be FOUR undefeated teams in the Final Four......oh well the 12-1 OHIO STATE BUCKEYES back-to-back BIG TEN Champions......Rose Bowl bound.
I can live with that.

I'd love to see Georgia / Ohio State in a bowl game. To me that would rank right up there with the playoff games.

We can only second guess now but four undefeateted might have been:
1. ALA vs 4. ND and 2. CLEM vs 3. OSU
I think OSU will do well vs the PAC 10. Michigan should do well in their bowl game.

I can't put a ton of faith in the polls.. I mean, they have my Gators at #10.. I've seen a decent amount of Gator football this year and I assure you, they are NOT a top 10 team.. I'm afraid their bowl game will bear that out.
It wouldn't surprise me to see Mich/Fla in the outback bowl again..

Had the opportunity for UCF to play UF for the state of Florida and for Michigan to play LSU, two storied programs that have never played before
Instead we're going to play Florida for the 3rd time in 4 years

You're right LSU/UM sounds much better.

Once again the bullshit espn ran committee fucked the big ten and rewards the over ranked sec. strange that the sec has a big contract with them. First off Nd should not have got in they did not play a championship game and comparing schedules ok and osu were better. Two who did Clemson play. One ranked team ranked 20 that’s it they should not have got In. Three who did bama and Georgia play anyone other than each other. No best thing for the big ten to do is not play In a single bowl game fuck em. All football fans got fucked. Now we get to watch three fucking blow outs yay!
-
Generally the independents just don't matter except a year like 2018, Army might not get a bowl game and ND doesn't have to risk losing in a conference championship game.
I guess you can't force them to join, same with the lax SEC scheduling.
Answer: an 8 or 16 team playoff like every other level of football and no major deservinv team gets left out...four just does not cut it..
-
6 team playoff

6 does not work well. the BEST two get byes, make it an even 8, four go home in round one. Can be worked into the bowl cities if desired and 6 or 8 take roughly the same number of weeks.
ALA, CLEM do not need extra rest.

Top teams deserve it. Regular season needs to mean something

Top teams deserve it. Regular season needs to mean something
NO they do not. They do NOT do it in any other division in football at any level down to high school. They don't even do it in baseball or basketball.
Do it right, 8 to start.....or should we say catch up with the world, there is growing support for it.

Who makes these decisions on bowl matchups is it the bowls or do the schools have a lot of say

6 team playoff
8

I don't think the schools get a say. The bowls want the most lucrative matchups.
That's why you'll see big name teams getting placed higher than they should to get the top matchup. Happened a lot with Michigan during RRod and Hoke.

D-1AA, D-II, D-III, NAIA, high school, peewee, somewhat MLB, NBA basically most all sports everywhere uses logical playoffs.
It took D-1A forever to move away from the stone age mythical championships, 4 teams was poor they should have done 8 teams before.
