re: Thinking about the four team playoff, how long until we get to eight?

So you're saying if Missouri had pulled the upset over Bama that they would have been in? CCGs don't exactly constitute an 8 team playoff in that scenario

They do to a degree. If Missouri rolled in there with 1 loss and won, they would have been in. Similar to how they almost made the BCS last year.

CCG act as an unofficial part of the playoff. It is what got Ohio State in this year. If Bama would have loss, they would have been left out and no SEC team in because Missouri already had 2 losses.

So the CCGs got a team and in and could have prevented a team from making it.
