Seems like the Big 12's situation with TCU and Baylor likely being left out of the playoff shook up the entire bowl picture.

Need eight team playoff. It is a mess.

I think we need a 16 team playoff with the conference championship games being the first round. Of course that would mean we would have to have 8 conferences with 2 divisions each but that is the only fair way to crown a champion.

That would put some great teams out and average teams in.

Committe has an impossible job, as there is no consensus at all and a case could be made for the entire top 6. The following would be my logic for narrowing it down to 4:

Baylor is the only team out of the top 6 that has a win over a top 6 team. That has to count for something imo. I know FSU is undefeated but they would get rolled by any of the other top 6 teams imo.

TCU had their playoff game against Baylor and came up short.

I'd go:

1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Baylor
4. Ohio State.

I don't like FSU but there is no way in hell you leave out an undefeated team. Everyone is scared to play them. Get over it.

I dislike Meyer and Ohio state but they clinched a birth tonight. That was a good Wisconsin team they just annihilated.

I actually like FSU, just don't think they are in the same class as the other 5 this season. I agree that by being undefeated the committee will probably put them in...but I'm not sure its a 100% thing. And if they do make it in, I will bet that the other 3 will be licking their chops to play them. I think they will lose by double digits to whoever they play in the 1st round. Jmo.

That was a good GT team that could have given any of the other 5 fits. JW is a talent regardless of his antics. No one wants to play a scrappy FSU.

I think the only thing I disagree with you on is the last sentence. Any team you face in the playoff is going to be very good, but FSU wouldn't scare me near as much as Bama, Oregon, tOSU, Baylor or TCU. But reasonable minds can differ. A 6 or 8 team playoff would be ideal this year.

We agree. I can see your perspective on FSU too. I just remember all the times the team with the most dynamic QB winning. FSU has continued that trend for nearly 2 years now.

Last year shouldn't matter tho. I still think you have to put em in but they've played nobody. I don't think any of the other potential playoff teams are scared of them. Might be the team they want the most.

I sort of feel bad for Baylor and Briles but they need a championship game. If they had one and Baylor beat TCU again at a neutral site then I believe they make it in. They didn't though.

They would most likely be in the same division.
