I've seen a lot of people say that conference championships will be a MAJOR factor in deciding who will be in the 4 playoff spots. Can I get a link for that?
Not bashing at all.. I do think the conference champs should be in the game, and I do think Alabama should win theirs to get in.

Depends on records of the conference champs probably. If people think a 11-1 team who didn't win their conference is better than a 11-2 team that did win theirs, than so be it. The eyeball test will also be a huge factor in deciding the playoff teams.

I think conference champions has more to do with a team like Alabama jumping an 11-1 Michigan State team or 11-1 Baylor team
If there were a playoff, I doubt Alabama makes it

They'd absolutely make it.
It would be FSU, Auburn, Alabama, and Michigan State.
Now, they might seed those teams in a different order to avoid rematches or something, but it would be those four teams.

Nobody is going to know what the criteria is going to be until ESPN starts stacking up resumes around the beginning of November and we see what they're emphasizing.
It's going to be very strange to see what happens. Even with more spots in the playoffs its going to feel like there is even less margin for error than right now, because nobody knows what the standard is.

I think they would make it but the argument is that emphasis would be against them. Had Arizona State gone 12-1 or Oregon, Alabama doesn't make it

Until all major teams are in a conference, and all conferences crown a champ the same way, I doubt this really becomes a determining factor. shite-tier leagues will likely push for it, but SEC/B1G/Big 12 and any others that can put 2 teams in the top 4 will oppose.

11-1 Baylor
How does a team with such a beat down on their resume get in though.

I think Bama would make it in this year but the argument for conference champions is what I stated. If Baylor had lost by a TD or so (<10 points), I think the committee puts them in. As much about keeping people interested in the playoff as the right picks

Yeah it is why I hope it eventually moves to 8, so we can get past the conference championships argument.

I think 6 would be perfect.
That way, being #1 or #2 still gives you a distinct advantage.

Just wait until there are 6 real unbeaten teams and watch the shite storm. I know it's very unlikely to happen but it could

See my 911 thread a long time ago. I love how people catch up.

Because the 5th team is Baylor, they might, but any gump that thinks they would go over a name program that is 5th, when Bama is third and couldn't win their own division is sorely mistaken. A one loss tu or Oklahoma coming out of the Big 12 as Champion goes over a one loss Bama that doesn't every single time.

I did. I addressed every point.

It's impossible to have more than 5 un-beatens from the power conferences at this point, and they're all that matter anyway.
Nt that that would be any less of a shitstorm, but the possibility is pretty much nonexistent.
Its much more likely we'll be having the 11-1 non-champ v. 12-1 conference champ argument every year for the last slot. Or 3 11-1 champs for 2 spots.
That's going to be the new normal I think.

Here is the link to the article ESPN ran in June 2012. LINK
Here is the paragraph, near the bottom of the page, that addresses conference champions:
Wikipedia has this about the selection process:
Here is the paragraph, near the bottom of the page, that addresses conference champions:
quote:
The championship game will be managed by the conferences and will not be branded as a bowl game. The presidents also announced the creation of a selection committee that will rank the teams to play in the playoff, "giving all the teams an equal opportunity to participate." The committee will consider win-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results and whether a team is a conference champion.
Wikipedia has this about the selection process:
quote:Edited to get rid of the shitty blank space at the bottom of the original post.
Unlike college football's current title system, the Bowl Championship Series, the new format will not use computer rankings or polls in the selection of its 12 participating teams. Rather, a committee of 13 people will select and seed the teams.[8] The playoff system will be the first to determine the top-level NCAA football championship by a bracket competition. The new format is known as a Plus-One system, a proposal which became popular in 2011 as a replacement for the BCS.

This is their website
fwiw
quote:
Principles
The management committee has charged the selection committee to select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
Conference championships won
Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)
Other relevant factors such as key injuries that may have affected a team's performance during the season or likely would affect its postseason performance
