here is what I checked out.
quote:
Did some looking. Here are where big 6 conference champs finished since 2007.
2007
1. Ohio St
2. Lsu
3. Va Tech
4. Oklahoma
7. USC
9. W. Virginia
non conf teams - 5. Georgia 6. Missouri
2007 would have Ohio St, Lsu, Va Tech and Oklahoma, the top 4 teams and 4 conf winners.
2008
1. Oklahoma
2. Florida
5. USC
8. Penn St
12. Cincy
19. Va Tech
nonconf winners- 3. Tx 4. Bama 6. Utah 7. Tx Tech
2008 would have Okie, Fla, USC and Texas playing. It would have 3 conference winners, leaving out #4 Bama.
2009
1. Bama
2. Texas
3. Cincy
7. Oregon
8. Ohio St
non conf winners- 4. TCU 5. Florida 6. Boise St
2009 would have Bama, Texas, Cincy and TCU playing, the top 4 teams and 3 conference winners
2010
1. Auburn
2. Oregon
6. Ohio St (9.Mich St)
7. Oklahoma
13. Va Tech
22. W Virginia
non conf winners 3. TCU 4. Stanford 5. Wisconsin
2010 would have Auburn, Oregon, Ohio St(if allowed, which would be likely, and TCU. Leaving out #4 Stanford and #5 Wisconsin in place of OSU.
2011
1. Lsu
3. Oklahoma St
5. Oregon
10. Wisconsin
15. Clemson
23. W. Virginia
non conf winners - 2. Alabama 4. Stanford 6. Arkansas 7. Boise St
2011 would have Lsu, Okie St, Oregon and Bama. Leaving out #4 Stanford
In 5 yrs of playoffs, under the proposal, 4 teams ranked higher than a conference champion would be left out of the playoff(1 SEC, 2 Pac12 and 1 BigTen team). Looking back to 2009, you'd have a team like Cincy in, that was no match for the SEC runner up.
It needs to be the top 4 teams. Period.

I really don't see how they can justify "fairness" when a 10th ranked teamgets in over #'s 2,4,6,7,8,9.
