    if the big ten plays out how i believe it will,wisconson will play penn state in the title game,which i will give to the badgers,so who would the committee take OSU with one loss or the bigten champs with 2 ?

    You can't take a one loss team over 2 loss champ from that same teams conference. Especially when those teams played to OT.

    I think OSU still needs some help to make the playoff if the committee values conference championships at all

    what happens if Michigan loses and penn and the BUCKS win out

    I'm pretty sure the BCS standings breaks the tie.

    There are no BCS standings.

    State always plays Bama after the latter plays LSU. State usually covers.

    I like Pitt to cover. Maybe win outright

    Really like USC straight up.

    WHOA again. Three of four undefeated top 10 or better yet top 4 teams go down....were you near Las Vegas this week?

    You like that, eh? One of my best friends played for Pitt. I have become endeared to them. They play a great brand of ball. PFF has been saying they have the best pass blocking OL in the country. We know Clemson has a great pass rush, so Pitt had the right tools to neutralize Clemson's strengths. Pitt has become an extremely tough out for anyone. Really, they've been that way basically since 2013, but now even moreso since Narduzzi's shored up the defense a bit while retaining the general concepts of Chryst's offense.

    Those talking about an 8 team playoff, how do you think this year shows it's necessary? If Alabama loses then you'd have a point. Otherwise, the 4 team playoff is likely going to crown the right champ.

    Pat Narduzzi is the son of Bill Narduzzi, who was the head coach at Youngstown State University from 1975 to 1985. Pat played football for his father in 1985 as a freshman.

    Bill Narduzzi was a fine person and coach at YSU ironically I graduated from YSU in 1975 and got my MBA in 1985 all around the Narduzzi era.

    Also QB Ron Jaworski graduated just ahead of Coach Narduzzi but he got another good QB Cliff Stout who went on to the Steelers. Small world huh.

    If anything, I'd go to a 6 team playoff first.

    With this meatchicken loss we should be back up on top of them which is what we have to worry about at the moment more than the playoffs.

    I mean you've got 128 division one FBS schools. There's going to be some longshot teams that play fantastic that ought to have a shot at the playoffs. It will not be difficult to fill out an 8 school bracket with top contenders.

    I'd like to make being one of the top two ranked schools actually mean something.

    At the very least the 1st round should be home games for the higher ranked team.

    Without an early bye how does a 6 team work? An 8 team does several things like allow for the P5 teams and several at large teams, 8 just pairs off better and would work.

    And who doesn't think 16 might make some intriguing matchup games, 1/16, 2/15 etc.

    And yes first round home games for higher seeded teams.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Oh my YSU Penguins should be back in the D-1AA Sweet Sixteen again under Bo Pelini, they've ONLY made the playoffs once since Tressel left!

    6 team giving the top two teams byes.

    CFB is one of the few sports left where the regular season means something. A 16 team playoff shatters that

    All of college football but D-1A has playoffs your regular season earns a spot in the playoffs or in D-1A those 30+ bowl games. Yes it matters.

    You may hear the cry for expanded playoffs after this season.

    No one really cares about D-1A football

    Western Michigan is undefeated. I know they haven't played anyone but you can say that about most teams. It would be good to see one or two teams per year like that get a shot

    Au contraire, you'd see some badass OOC matchups in a 16 team playoff. Everyone would be trying to increase their SOS to get into the "tourney." It would make march madness pale in comparison. It would be awesome.

    That said, it's too many games for unpaid players. College teams already play like 33% more snaps than the NFL. So a 12 game regular season is like a 16 game NFL season. Now you're asking them to play a conference championship. You add 3 games (in an 8 team playoff), and that's like 4 NFL games.

    So you want kids to play 20 games a year for free? More if you go to 16. Good luck.

    I think they need to drop the regular season down go 10-11 games.

    Why? So we can all feed bad for them and see how much they don't belong? It's a waste of our time.
