While I won't be sad if Ohio State gets in, I'll understand the frustration of it.

I'm more curious to see where Ohio University goes. Maybe a repeat trip to Detroit? Please?

The Buckeyes have the clear edge for the final Playoff spot if precedent matters; in 2017, the committee sided with the one-loss Crimson Tide over the two-loss Buckeyes. Revenge is a dish best served five years late.

If the Buckeyes leapfrog to No. 3, a Michigan rematch would be the most-hyped Playoff game ever.

If you play 12 games and lose 2, that's a 16% loss rate.

Playing 13 games and losing 1,is 7%.

If you play more games and lose fewer, that's still being better than a team that played less and lost more.

CFB needs to just have a playoff that is seeded by conference championships.

I'd love that but I'd also love the more highly unlikely Ohio State/Michigan Natty.

I'd be a hypocrite because I hated the rematches between Georgia/Bama and LSU/Bama. But it was be fun as heck...even if we lost.

Buckeyes go to 3, only way to guarantee a Michigan matchup and those ratings.

Also guarantees Midwest viewers for the Championship game. They don't want to gamble on a TCU / GA championship game. No one would watch.

ESPN gets The Game II, screwing over Fox in the process.

Lee Corso puts on Brutus one more time and rides off garbling into the sunset.

Somebody who won their conference?

If I was running things, the playoff would be every conference champion. No one else. You don't with the conference, you don't get an invite. And I'd absolutely include MAC and Sun Belt teams. And I realize this means Notre Dame would not ever qualify, but that's the price they pay for being independent.

The system is rigged!  At least TCU played for their conference championship.  Clemson won its championship game, and should've gone in over THE Ohio State University.  If we end up with an over glorified conference championship game again, I want everyone to be mad, and also invalidate the championship games between Alabama and UGA*.

True...and yet they only lost by one score twice.

I mean, had it been getting blown out in one of the losses then, yeah they really couldn't complain.  Then again, doesn't it say something about Tennessee (being blown the fark out by UGA in Athens) and LSU (just being inconsistent as fark all year)?

That post right there is why I despise this stuff and will rarely participate. I never know if the other person is bullshiatting or not, using arguments one year they'd discard the next year if that method didn't fit. All the evidence in the world and it just doesn't matter to some people and the same argument will get raised the next time as if previous events never even happened. I absolutely can't stand that sort of thing. It is a fool's game and I am quite the fool for playing it, this is entirely on me.

Ohio State and Penn State each had one conference loss that year but Penn State had two losses overall at that point and Ohio State's Strength of Schedule was higher than Penn State's.

I'm hesitant to even go further into it with citing figures/linking to tables and what have you because I fear it won't even matter and I've already been suckered, I just don't see the point.

My point is I've yet to see any UGA* fan agree with my point, because to agree with my point would be to admit they were both screwed out of and handed a championship that was worthless.  Actual conference championship game participation should hold weight.  TCU got in because of that.  Why wasn't Clemson sent over Ohio State?

You also have to admit that there was no way Penn State would get into the playoff at that time because of how close it was to the scandal.  They could've gone undefeated, ranked top four in the nation, and STILL would've been bypassed.

holy shiat they got it right this time.   I would've sworn that Bama was gonna $queeze in there $omehow, but they got it right.   Bama's schedule wasn't as strong as Tenn's, but thankfully neither got in.

Toughest schedules this time out were LSU and K-State, but no way was a 3-loss team getting in.

Maybe next year 'Bama won't schedule Utah State + UL-Monroe + Austin Peay.   Maybe one or two of them, but not all three.   god I hate Bama fans.

ND not qualifying is the only good part of your post. And I'm a MAC school grad. Winning their conf isn't impressive. It's just not. The moment playoffs were introduced killed everything other than being subjectively one of the top 4 teams. We knew that going in and people wanted it anyway
