So is Scott Frost. Ryan Day was never at Oregon and he has as many years coaching under Urban Meyer as he does Chip Kelly.

Why? Michigan had been ranked over both for weeks going into The Game.

Who did they leverage to get in this season?

Honest question: does anyone think that a 12-1 Michigan team that had a close road loss to a good team and showed consistent improvement over the course of the season gets jumped by Georgia (or Oklahoma) last Sunday?

And for all of the clear bias, there have been five different Big Ten teams ranked in the CFP top four in five seasons, with Penn State missing out on being the sixth by a week. Maybe it really doesn't matter that much and people seriously whining about a meaningless #5/#6 ranking are just...

The conference has respect. Teams that lose by four touchdowns to unranked teams do not. Ohio State got the favorable look from the committee in 2016. I really don't understand the obsession some people have with making this into a conference bias media conspiracy when the far and away primary...

Going into The Game, Michigan had been sitting at #4 for three weeks as the highest ranked one-loss team above Georgia and Oklahoma. Honestly, I think if they had managed to beat Ohio State, some if not most of the committee members would have ranked them above Notre Dame. Michigan was also 3rd...

In a perfect world, yeah, punish the scissor lift mafia for being bitches. In the one we live in where there's no conference championship requirement and having one is only kind of relevant, I see no reason to do this. They should keep gaming the system until they can't anymore.

I'll stick with that just being a circumstance of having a consistently successful program in a system whose only clear and consistent criteria for making the playoff is going undefeated in a P5, a system that OSU benefited from in 2014 and 2016 and likely would have benefited from this season...

What world do you live in where shrimp isn't the finest of delicacies?

I don't see this being anything other than a let down 10-14 point loss or a 59-20 ass beating.

Who would you kick out of the playoff for Ohio State?

It's not a coincidence, OSU's just been on the edge every season and have thus been on the end of some positive and negative and inconsistent decisions. The more likely explanation to that than a conspiracy against a profitable blue blood program in a profitable blue blood conference is that...

One loss, non-champion Ohio State got in the following year.

They don't. Ohio State got in twice without being undefeated, once without winning their division. Michigan would have been in this year with one loss. I'm not a fan of the current selection process, but it doesn't go any deeper here than Ohio State just having unforgivable loss margins to not...

It's not Delaney's fault that the Big Ten champion got ass blasted by mediocre teams two years in a row.

He said, on December 2nd.

So 3 is where the line is drawn? I'm not seeing how a 3 loss Alabama team would be less likely to gorillafuck any of the playoff teams than they are right now. Shit happens and shit might have just happened to them 3 times, whatever, they still beat everyone else by 60. This is my issue with...

That's my point though, if the criteria for a team getting in is "most likely to win two playoff games", why is that extreme? If Alabama had lost to Louisville, Mississippi, and Texas A&M, would they still not have the GOAT coach, NFL talent everywhere, and a ton of dominant performances? Why...
