re: If Penn State beats Wisconsin, should PSU get a playoff game?

Explain how it is so much better. After the new polls tomorrow night OSU will 4-1 against current teams in the CFB top 25, assuming Nebraska stays ranked. It will include 3 wins against teams in the top 10. Penn State will be 2-1 and with a win Saturday 3-1 against CFB top 25 teams including 2 vs top 10 as well as one of them being OSU who they beat head to head. Yes PSU has two losses they were to UM a top 10 team and to a Pitt team who has also beaten Clemson. Not like they played App State. PSU would also have a Conference Championship. The CFB committee already sees PSU as top 10 team and it is not like they are UF praying they have a chance come Saturday.

Do I think PSU is a better team then OSU no but based on what the committee uses as criteria and previous precedence from the past few years if PSU is not considered a playoff team after a win on Saturday the committee is creating their own criteria each year and not being true to the selection process.

I thought last year OSU was the better team but yet OU got in without a conference CG and MSU because they won the Big 10 and beat OSU head to head during the season. The committee really got it wrong last year in my opinion but they cited their criteria in picking those 4. The deviate from it this year shows no consistency and that their own bias take precedence.
