All it really showed us was #3 and #4 didn't really matter this year.

At some point, SEC folk will wake up and recognize that being a team in the toughest conference in college football makes it far more likely that the SEC is the conference out in the cold for the final 4. Guess we'll have to wait for it.

Except for their loss to Memphis, think argument could be made for Ole Miss to be a 4 seed. Loss to Arkansas was a total fluke and should be counted against the Rebels

OM fans still think they should be there for beating shitty Ok state lol

Win against Bama was a fluke too tho? Goes both ways

You have to punish teams for losses. Scheduling easy will hurt you because most years you are going to have a similar record as other teams trying to get in and scheduling harder games will help. It also prepares your team for the big games down the stretch.

What makes you think they don't realize that already?

No Ole Miss fan thinks that. That's dumb.

They made Washington State look pretty good only winning on a lucky break as time expired.

The only thing Stanford proved in their bowl game is that they were pretty good at choking this year. Ole Miss too.

Because this is only the 2nd year for the playoff, and it hasn't happened to the SEC yet. Wait til Alabama loses to LSU and Auburn, but wins the SEC, or LSU loses to Bama and Arkansas, but wins the SEC. People are gonna lose their minds when undefeated Boise State plays 1 loss Notre Dame, and undefeated Houston plays 1 loss USC for the championship.

SEC fans might lose their minds. But Alabama won ten straight elimination games after losing to Ole Miss, beating some damn good teams along the way. That's how you show yourself to be a championship team.

Which is a hurdle that teams from other conferences will almost never have to clear. Why should SEC teams have to, if it isn't required of others?

Winning your conference is required of all teams, not just SEC teams. Every game Clemson played this year was likely an elimination game. It's not just us. Oklahoma wasn't as good as Clemsor or Bama but they still HAD to beat Tennessee on the road, tcu and Baylor and Okie state. They earned their way in. MSU had to beat Michigan, Iowa and OSU and Oregon. They earned their way in. Like it or not it's a national sport.

Not disputing any of that. I'm just saying that keeping it at 4 lets some shitty teams in, and keeps some teams good enough to win it out. Strength of schedule should count for something too.

The BCS was great for ranking. They just needed to take the top 4 or 8 teams for the playoff. Taking the top 4 teams of every BCS ranking for the playoff would have fixed every perceived discrepancy with the BCS system since its inception.

I agree. When the season started Iowa was a pretty good team and as the season progressed and they waded through the barely average teams, they began to gain confidence. When they arrived at the conference championship, they were a confident, gung-ho bunch of guys. The drive that Mich. St. made against them not only cost them a playoff chance, but it brought them back down to earth....with a crash landing.

Oklahoma won the Big 12. Stanford won the Pac 12. The Big 12 swept two bowl games from the Pac 12. Oklahoma won the better conference and didn't lose an OOC game to Northwestern. On the contrary....the Sooners beat Tennessee....the team that beat Northwestern in the Outback Bowl. Oklahoma deserved to go ahead of Stanford.

they beat Iowa man. good grief.
I thing they should have been the 4th seed for their regular season, conference playoff game win and their friggin' OL. their OL is the best in college football. and they lose every one of them this year.
