The years Michigan State and Florida State got to the Playoffs they both won their conference. Even though I feel they both got there by luck in their respective years, being conference champion has to count for something. So I had no problem with them getting in

lso the good team you say Stanford shouldn't be penalized for scheduling only played two good teams outside of Stanford. Scores? 38-0, 40-10 losses.

Record has to be a large factor though. I thought TCU should have been in the playoffs over Ohio St. because they looked better by the eye test. That was wrong and look what happened.

what was pathetic is Alabama getting Michigan State, rather than Clemson getting MSU in first round.
many pundits were sayqing Okla was best team in country before playoffs yet they only get 4 seed.
the com. wanted to protect alabama because Oklahama because alabama's bowl was played somwhere closer to Okla

Had Stanford beat northwestern (can't believe I'm typing this) then yes they should have gone over mich state I guess since each would have 1 loss. Even though only common opponent was in favor of mich state.
Just win your games, northwestern wasn't a tough "schedule" when made. it isn't like mich state was running either, they scheduled Oregon, and won their power 5 conference.

I'm saying the division they play in sucks. And they played the only good team in that division in Iowa and a cross division in Michigan. Don't play eye test game with Stanford and use SOS to back your point and not add in overall record.

I agree, but I don't think you add Stanford at the expense of Michigan State. In my opinion OU should have been booted for Stanford. OU was beaten by a shite house Texas team and didn't have to play a conference championship game.
ETA: If you're going to play in the worst conference in football and not have championship game, you better make damn sure you go unblemished.
Agreed. And at least Michigan State beat good teams. Oklahoma's best wins were a shitty Tennessee team, a Baylor team breaking in their new QB, and a TCU team on their second and third string QBs.
If Oklahoma didn't have Mayfield they would have lost 4 games. But that is what's great about the playoff. Oklahoma got rolled. Michigan State got rolled. The best two teams made it, and now we can move forward knowing how shitty the Big 12 is.

I am saying a team with a SOS of 16 compared to 53 is a big difference.
Yeah, but whose system are you using? If all the SOS systems were similar to the one you quote then I might agree. Sagarin and TeamRankings both had Stanford with a better SOS but closer than the system you quote; both had Stanford at #12, Sagarin had MSU at #30 and TeamRankings had 'em at #20. Billingsley had Stanford at 3 and MSU at 13...Anderson & Hester had MSU at 6 and Stanford at 22...Ashby has Stanford at 8 and MSU at 14...Coffey has Stanford at 11 and MSU at 17...RoundTable had MSU at 11 and Stanford at 32. So none of these has anywhere near as big of a gap as the system you quote, and two had MSU with a higher SOS. As both were conference champions, one with 1 loss, one with 2 and a common opponent to boot, the committee made a very reasonable choice...
While I can see arguments from the year before, and several during the BCS as well, this past year was as close to a slam dunk as you can get for the committee, and was controversy free. The 4 most deserving teams made the CFP last season...

I fail to see how OU got "rolled" they lead the game at half time and lost both starting RBs in the 3rd quarter. What would have happened to Alabama had they lost Henry 2 minutes into the 3rd? OU lost because of their young Oline. They absolutely deserved to be in the playoff and Clemson was a bad matchup in the trenches for OU. Stanford would have lost by 20+ to Oklahoma last year. It must be exhausting living on these forums to discredit anything big 12 at every opportunity. A&M sucked in the big 12 and they still suck arse.

Michigan State. That team was not good. It was decent. Alot of other teams could have at least contended.
Name another more deserving. Just one.
One loss and won their conference championship.
Edit to fix record.

I think Stanford was a better team than Oklahoma last year by 21+.

You didn't answer my question...OU lead the game at the half, what would Alabama had been like without their starting RB for the 3rd and 4th quarters?
