Here's the funny thing: the committee has painted themselves in a corner and it will be interesting to see how they get out of it. They have said all along that conference titles matter. The whole playoff thing came about because of Bama and LSU in 2011 and the argument that Bama shouldn't have even been there. Now they have a scenario that is going to force them to make a choice. IMHO, OSU deserves a slot. They have the better overall resume', the better body of work. But Penn State or Wisky is going to be Big 10 champion. And PSU is a hot team right now. Do you leave either of them out and reward OSU? If so, you just threw your whole conference champion argument out the window. And what do you do with the PAC 12 and Big XII champions? WHo's getting left out? I'm making the assumption Bama and Clemson are in, barring a big upset by Va Tech over Clemson. That leaves 2 slots for OSU, the winner of the Big 10, PAC 12, and Big XII. Two slots for 5 teams with a legit argument. Big XII's is weakest, so let's throw them out for the sake of argument. Now you got OSU, either UDub or Colorado, and either Wiskey or Pedo State. Who gets the boot? Why? All this is doing is setting things up to expand to 8 teams in the playoff to avoid a similar situation in the future. Probably with the Power 5 conference champions earning a spot, and maybe the highest ranked Group of 5 team getting a 6th just to throw them a bone and keep the anti-trust lawyers out of it and two at large spots. It's coming. Just watch.
