Florida State is the team that really was exposed. Just as I've said all year-they have been incredibly lucky. They are not even close to a top team.

Nobody knows football like LVGD!  Being a Big 10 guy myself, now I have to root for the Buckeyes to win it all. 
 bowdown.  Should be a hell of a game.!

Sure you can.
No you can't, it's subjective, too many teams. It's not like the NFL, where it comes down to won loss, then tie breakers. Are you going to give more credence to the SEC,ACC, or the Big 10, while leaving out the teams out west?

Yes you can.

If you can rate the top 4, you can rate the top 6, as well as who is number 1 and number 2.  This year 7 and 8 already lost two games.  Some years it may even be three losses.  If you lose that many you really don't deserve a shot to play for the title.

Either a 4 team or 8 team play-off. Can't have a 6 team. Odd number after the first week of games.

Byes to the top 2. Reward them for seasonal acheivement

(Aka Jeremy's 100% correct).

Need to put 8 or 16 team playoff.  To many bowl games , too many 6-6 or 7-5 teams in bowls.

These teams need to play meaningful games from the get go. Playing cupcake U there first 3 games in the season I mean really?

Match ups mean everything , even in College.  No dominant team out there.

Nothing wrong with scheduling those easy games. It usually pays the bills for the athletic dept of those small schools.

Even though I love them Bucks Giss you simply cannot give byes. Again are you going to give the sec teams more credence? that is why this years teams and play-offs thing is being criticized !!! TCU was third and them poof gone. Even Galloway said he had the Bucks fifth. You can't give bye's.

It should never come down to who is the better draw ever. This is why college football still sucks...
Paisan, if it were you and Ohio State went 14-0, you still would have them ranked 26th!!!! rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 bowdown

TCU wasn't in the top 2, but in the top 6.  So your argument doesn't hold.

Sorry but Fl State WAS!!! again there's no set way of picking 1 and 2 without pissing someone off. Having 8 teams playing equal games is the right thing.

Florida State was 3.

Last year Ohio State was #7, and had they been in the playoffs they would have been embarrassed.

#7 Mississippi State lost this year to #12 Georgia Tech and #8 Michigan St did beat #5 Baylor, however they already lost to both teams in the title game this year.

8 teams is just too many.

No way can you say this team gets a bye, do you know what will happen? FL State didn't lose a game (even though they could and should have). Many had them number one. Just don't think you can open things without changing the way the committee votes,

yes.  The teams will play the game and others will be the ones complaining about it.
