That line of reasoning, wants the 4 best teams in the playoff. Vegas will always tell you that. You penalize Alabama for losing 2 games in the SEC, but reward Cincy for beating teams like Tulsa and Navy buy one score? Bama is def losing to Georgia, so they'll be out. Ok St wins, they take their spot. They lose its probably a toss up between Baylor and ND for the 4th spot. You saw the auburn game right? Gary Daniel son was practically crying. So far cinci is in but we will see if the committee has the guts to keep them there if they win again, regardless of the rest of the results. Cincy is already in. Georgia wont have to beat Alabama twice, they beat them once 'Bama is out. ND gets the 4 spot. I thought Baylor only had 1 loss. Even if they beat Ok. St, they cant jump ND, who only has one good loss.

Well, big bad Bama's in now. Cincy and Geo.too. Don't see ND getting in because of it's soft schedule. Mich in unless they lose to Iowa. Who's next? How about Baylor.

Told you the bama game was rigged. Just once I'd like to be wrong on these things. Was Georgia in on it? They got totally hammer and we're up 10-0 to start the game. Assuming Michigan wins it will be: 1) Alabama vs. 4) Cincinnati 2) Michigan vs. 3) Georgia I don't think anyone else has an argument. Baylor lost two games. Notre Dame lost their one big game and is not in a conference. Ohio State lost two games.

Georgia vs Alabama for championship. Not fixed Saben is a genius. First game in 92 Alabama was an underdog. Puts up 41 points and over 500 yards against a superior defense.

Alabama last lost to an SEC East team in 2010 and people were convinced Georgia was a lock, lol. Committee lucked out and had a no brainer choice of 4 teams and even had it play out where they could avoid the Georgia-Alabama rematch in the semis. Was hoping for chaos to increase the chances the 8 or 12 team playoff would happen sooner rather than later. Consider this though, Ohio State would be 6 point favorites against every team in the nation but Georgia and Alabama. Utah is one of the hottest teams in the country but was doomed by two early losses. Wouldn't a 12 team playoff with those teams be so much more interesting than what we are left with?

I'm good with 4 teams as long as undefeated teams get in. College football is great because with only 12 games every week is the playoffs. That will be cheapened the more teams get in. Four is enough to separate the contenders from the rest and the current bowl system gives a chance for the rest of the teams to end on a high note. If any expansion 8 would be plenty if they gave autos to the power 5 conference champs, one auto to top group of five and two wild cards. That way you get 6 teams whose last game was a championship win plus the two best of the rest teams, which guarantees the two best teams will be in the field.
So this year it would be:
Alabama Michigan Baylor Pitt Utah Cincinatti Georgia Notre Dame
Ohio state would have the biggest gripe with this system but with two losses and no championships there will likely be several more smdeserving teams to take the final slot.

Georgia-Bama tonight for the national championship - I think UGA finally gets Bama. I'll take Georgia to win 31-24.
