I was originally thinking 9 wins, 75% of 12, then looked at the argument for 8 and was swayed to 8 by the argument made by VagueMessage in the post above. Math is good, memory was not.

91.7% = 11 wins, so 12-0 or 11-1 would be the A students
83.3% = 10 wins, the B students
75.0% = 9 wins, the C students
66.7% = 8 wins, the D students
58.3% = 7 wins, the high F students
50.00 = 6 wins, the low F students

I still feel if you have 2 losses you should never play for a National Championship unless there are no other undefeated or 1 loss teams in the Big 5 pool (ACC / B12 / B1G / PAC / SEC) because that is rewarding a team for not excelling. I say fook a 2 loss PAC team entering the playoff just because they won their CCG. If the playoff was in effect this season the playoff should be :

#1 Florida State vs #3 Alabama (so 2 SEC teams to not face in the semi's)
#2 Auburn vs #4 Michigan State (the Spartans had to play 13 games, including a CCG)

If you have this everybody gets a ribbon nonsense, you would have this in a 4 team playoff :

#1 Florida State vs Stanford (because the PAC will get a team in)
#2 Auburn vs Michigan State (because the B1G will get a team in)

This would be the 8 team model / (2) B1G, PAC, and SEC teams + (1) ACC and B12 team:

#1 ACC vs #2 PAC (winner plays winner of) #2 SEC vs #1 B12
vs
#1 B1G vs #1 PAC (winner plays winner of) #1 SEC vs #2 B1G

This would be the actual teams in the 8 team playoff:
#1 Florida State vs #10 Oregon (because they will not let 3 SEC teams in, and Missouri will get screwed)
vs
#3 Alabama vs #6 Baylor (so the B12 gets a team in

#4 Michigan State vs #5 Stanford (Rose Bowl type matchup)
vs
#2 Auburn vs #7 Ohio State (because the B1G will have the vote on the committee)
