This past year was the perfect example of a playoff. The Iron bowl was a quarter final game. Alabama lost. The seccg was a semifinal game. Mizzou lost. Auburn went on to play for the title. Alabama and Mizzou should not be in the field of four based off the fact they couldn't beat auburn already when it mattered.
Sorry, but your logic simply isn't logical. If that had been the quarterfinal and semifinal games, Auburn probably would not have have played them. The fact that they could not beat the second best team in the country does not mean they should not have been there. By your logic we should only have #1 verses #2. That would take us right back to the BCS.

They were unofficial playoff games. The winner of the iron bowl was the winner of the division. Bama failed to win that game. Same thing for the next week. If Mizzou had won the conference then they would have been in the title game. That's as close to a playoff scenario you can get without having the real thing. Do you really think bama or Mizzou should have been in the four team playoff after auburn beat them in their two most recent games?
