Anyone arguing for wild-cards, should be arguing that State should have played Bama last night for the conference championship instead of Mizzou
But yes, this season, if there were 8 teams, I would consider Miss St as a wildcard over Mizzou (although given the Ole Miss loss, they might be looking at 8th). And also, if Mizzou had won last night, I'd consider Alabama.
Alabama- Michigan St (or Cinderella; Marshall or Boise)
Fla St- Miss St
Oregon-TCU
Baylor-Ohio State

See, this is your problem you'll always have with 8. You have to include at least one team who has no business playing for a national championship.

That's not an argument, that's just a statement.

My whole point is that it's inconsistant. Answer this:
Why is it important that some conferences are stronger than others, but it's NOT important that some divisions are stronger than others?
And how about this...?
Why is it important that some conferences are stronger than others in NCAA football, but NOT important that one conference is stronger than another in NFL football?
