re: So the playoffs attempt to give the big 12 a charity invite worked out, right?

LSU lost to Kentucky and Arkansas and got one of not four, but two spots. Two loss teams can be better than one loss teams. Clearly, that was the case this year.

I wouldn't mind if they added two teams to the playoff field. Six teams would be the absolute perfect number IMO. There's been six teams with zero or one losses at the end of the regular season the last three years. You would give all the teams with one loss a shot or in this year's case, all of the conference champions + Ohio State. But Stanford had two losses and Ohio State blew it against Michigan State. In the current system, they just didn't do enough to get in.

In an eight-team field, Stanford would have been in the playoff and would have made some major noise. Ohio State would be in, too.

It's a fricking travesty that the defending national champs, with only one loss, didn't get a chance to defend their title.
