    Lol.

    When circumstances at the margins indicate that teams are comparable, then the following criteria must be considered:

    • Championships won
    • Strength of schedule
    • Head-to-head competition (if it occurred)
    • Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)

    College Football Playoff Selection Committee Protocol
    1. Mission. The committee’s task will be to select the best teams, rank the teams for inclusion in the playoff and selected other bowl games and, then assign the teams to sites.
    2. Principles. The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
      • Conference championships won,
      • Strength of schedule,
      • Head-to-head competition,
      • Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,
      • Other relevant factors such as key injuries that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.

    Again saying they will "consider" conference champions doesn't imply that conference championships are a determining factor. They could easily have said Ohio State won the conference but TCU is in because SoS.

    You are pretty damn naive if you think there is never going to be a non-conference (or division winning) team in the 4-team playoff.

    How about SEC just sits the whole thing out.
    SEC fans can sit home and shout "My conference is #1" all New Years long.

    If Bama loses to Ohio State all of the SEC is going cry foul that The Buckeyes shouldn't have been in it in the first place.
    Cannot freakin wait for that to happen.

    Anything more than 4 teams makes the regular season meaningless. I think 4 is fine.

    well Tennessee extended Butch Jones thru 2020. Vols are going to the Gatorbowl and all indications are fans are pleased with the bowl appearance. The 15 extra bowl practice sessions should be a nice boost for the program.

    Also Jones dealt swiftly and decisively with players who decided not to conduct themselves with dignity. I applauded the player discipline.

    The BCS was fine. Oregon and Ohio State don't deserve a chance anymore than TCU or Baylor.

    If you were a TCU fan you wouldn't say it was fine. Given your track record, maybe you will be next year!

    The BCS would have been fine if it involved more than two teams. Wasn't that one of the issues?

    I would have been fine with keeping the BCS formula and expanding to a playoff bracket.

    Why do we need four teams if the 5th is as or more qualified than the 4th team? That's my whole point, the 4 team playoff does nothing to correct the biggest complaint of the bcs. So where is the outrage?????
