<![CDATA[Who is the Best Bet To Make Playoffs?]]>My vote. OU. They have zero competition and only have to beat Baylor at home. Big Dumpster Fire (Big 12) has no playoff, so OU walks in untested and unharmed.

Texas under Strong?-well we see how that's going already. 41-7 loss to BYU @ Asstin. I feel their pain. LOL. 😛

When did meatchicken win a true Football title?

Yes, to be fair to them, Michigan has won national titles, or a share thereof since 1900 in 1901, 1902, 1918, 1933, (prior to 1936 when the AP poll started there were about a dozen polling operations. Michigan shared the title with others )1948 ( undisputed both AP and coaches.) and 1997 (shared that year with Nebraska which won the coaches poll, Mich won the AP poll)

Woody, your team is DONE. They will never win another big ten title at football.

Hockey or Basketball they have a chance, but Football, is OVER

Unless they hire Harbaugh, the football school is done

There will be more push back at larger programs because they have more exposure.

It is the semi-pros in FBS that should play more games. They are essentially paid with scholarships to do just that (among other compensation). It is the ones at the smaller schools....the real students....who should be more protected.

16 would be too many extra game and go too late into the year. These are still college students. I know the FCS does it, but I think there'd be a lot of pushback.

So? Its OK for too many extra games that go too late into the year for kids playing for like Martha Washington U or Albert Einstein U.....but the Big boys, the semi-professionals can't hack it?

(OK, Mount Union and Wisconsin-Whitewater.....who have met in 8 of the past 9 D-III championship games)

4 spots is better than 2....

8 would be better. 16 would be best. 16 teams compete in the playoffs in FCS/D-II and D-III

(16 would alllow MAC, MVC etc. participate)

Eyeball test? That means nothing.

Actually, under this new system, it probably will mean a lot. Officially, there is no computer ranking or polling that applies to who is being chosen for the playoff. It is only the personal opinion of the 13 members....and here is a link to that committeee:

http://www.collegefootballplayoff.com/selection-committee

Or media/ESPN bias, and a preseason poll designed to benefit the SEC? When every SEC team starts high, obviously they will continue to have highly ranked teams.

I take all of the SEC chest pounding with a grain of salt. Many, many things more influential than team quality have caused this current "SEC dynasty"

HGH

That school up north has NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO chance of playing in this 4 team or 8 team or even an 16 team playoff............. anytime soon.

Meatchicken, is DONE as far as national titles goes in football.

They only have a chance with a 64 team field. in basketball

I'm pretty sure the last time the so-called "legacy" won a "true" national title in football was in the 1940's

Simple, You end up with 5 undefeated teams and only 4 slots.......what do you? How about 6 undefeated teams and 4 slots available?

4 spots is better than 2....

@thenew23 said:

Well this just got interesting... Hard to predict, but here are my 4... projecting of course: (update 10-12-14)

1 - Baylor - I think they finish undefeated and not so easily win the Big 12

2 - Alabama - I think they win the rest of their games. They have the most favorable schedule left in the SEC, and if Ole Miss continues to win it will only help their case

2 - Florida State - They just have to get past Notre Dame, which I don't think will be a problem

3 - Mississippi State - They look like the best team in the county after the last 3 weeks

4 - Ole Miss - their defense is for real. Can they and Miss St get into the playoff even though they face off the last week of the regular season? I think so...

Other contenders:

Notre Dame - if they beat FSU

Georiga Tech - if they run the table and beat FSU in the ACC Championship

Michigan State or Ohio State - Whoever wins that matchup, but it will take some other teams to lose

Arizona - if they win the Pac-12

TCU - if they can win this week at Baylor

Auburn, or Texas A&M - If they can get through their brutal schedules and win some games on the road (@ ole miss, @ alabama, @ georiga... not looking good)

Kentucky or Georiga - if they can win the SEC... it's possible

Alabama - tough road to get there

Oregon - There has to be a Pac 12 team on this list, right?

Oklahoma State - but they have a brutal schedule ahead, but their only loss this year was to #1 so maybe they get in
