re: Bowls prove Stanford should have been 4th playoff seed.

Maybe that loss to NW gave them pause. NW was blown off the field 3 times this yr

That too

But losing to a team that was blanked by Iowa and Michigan by 30 plus killed their chances at being a final 4 team

4 team playoff is going to create this. You have 4 spots for 5 conferences, leaving one out every year. They should start by assessing which conference is the weakest, eliminating the champion of that conference. Shitty deal for an undefeated conference champion, but strength of schedule has to count for something.

People would say this is an SEC thing, but the SEC still gets the shitty end of the stick, even after this is done. In any given year, there is going to be 1 or 2 teams in the final 4 that would lose convincingly to #2 or #3 in the SEC. Anyone think Ole Miss doesn't beat Chokelahoma or Michigan State this year?

Many of those ignoring strength of schedule and saying 2 losses is pretty much an automatic elimination are going to be pissed when it is used to keep the SEC out of the final 4. We beat on each other all year, it is bound to happen. Just like it did to the PAC12 this year.

Playoff needs to expand to 8 teams, and the sooner the better.

Michigan St/Iowa were bigger pretenders than OU..

We probably should have been looking at

1) Clemson
2) Alabama
3) Oklahoma
4) Ohio St

How can you put OSU over Michigan State when MSU beat OSU, with a back-up playing QB, in the Horseshoe?

Not for number one seeds. 4=4


Kentucky should never get a number one seed. Ever


Going by that logic

Two loss teams should be forbidden from being in a four team playoff unless it's a crazy year like 2007. And outside of that '07 LSU team and 1990 Miami, I have yet to see a two-loss team that looked like the best team in college football in a given year.

nope. they had two losses they eliminated themselves. I'd hate to see 2 loss teams getting in unless it is unavoidable.

So the team with the weakest conference always gets a shot at the NC. Brilliant.

Exactly. I guess Oklahoma gets a pass every year...

And the Pac-12 needs to drop back to 8 conference games, and Stanford should stop scheduling Notre Dame and start scheduling Rice and Tulsa. I swear there is no logic anymore. Ohio State didn't win their conference period, out. Stanford won arguably the second best conference in college football while playing 9 conference games and two quality out of conference teams, and a conference championship.

What is Oklahoma's record in BCS and New Years 6 games?

4-6, with their most recent wins Alabama and Uconn, and several bad losses in those games.

and the Big 12 hasn't performed well in bowl games for a while.

Are you actually going to sit there...allegedly with more brain cells than a turnip...and suggest that the playoff participants should be determined by how their fellow conference members performed two, three, or even four years ago?

Because Stoops is Big Game Bob.
