My theory;The rule we should hope never comes to pass is automatic conference champ bids to the playoff.

I don't see this happening because of tie-breaker rules potentially putting someone like a 9-4 Iowa team in the CFP to get murdered by Alabama. I'm comfortable using the Conference Championship game as a tiebreaker when all things are equal. I think the committee has done a pretty good job.

Accelerated Nobel Prize nomination for Ohio State

While the advent of Viagra has allowed many older men to experience intimate relations with loved ones, the modern miracle has a dark side. Painful tumescence lasting for extended periods that sometimes causes permanent injury.

Ohio State scientists this week announced a major and rapid cure for a different but related type of extended tumescence. The cure is called the CFP rankings. Columbus hospitals have been receiving hundreds of tumescent patients since the Buckeye's comeback win over Penn State. The epidemic seems to have completely subsided within minutes of the CFP rankings last night.

Prof Gene Gillicutty reports that the lack of the phenomena in Ann Arbor and Happy Valley precluded a multiuniversity study.

Example; This year, OSU can lock up the B1G east potentially after the MSU game or Illinois game. That guarantees them a spot in the CCG. If winning the CCG then is an auto bid to the playoffs, The Game is meaningless for the playoffs and NC chase.

Look at last year: #2 vs. #3 in The Game. HUGE game. Michigan ended up #6, I believe, and Ohio State #3. How big is that game if they still make the playoffs? Or Ohio State-Penn State this year? Penn State will likely be in the playoffs if they win out and there's an 8-team format. How big are those games if the loser gets to advance? Sure, they're lower seeds than the winners, but it's not a "win or go home" scenario.

Who was it last year had a chance to be a 4-loss conference winner? USC, maybe? If they ever go to a "only conference champions are eligible" thing, at any number of teams, I hope there is a maximum number of losses clause included. If a team has 3 losses, they should be out of all consideration for the playoffs. We don't need 1985 (or whatever year it was) Villanova (or whatever team it was) (I'm talking about the 8-seed that won the NCAA tournament). It might be exciting to watch that 8-5 team win, but it isn't good for the organization.

I would love to see this line up for the final four... These would be two huge payback games.

1. Alabama
2. OU
3. OSU
4. Clemson

It's really not that far off if you ask me. ND still has games against Miami and Stanford on the road and Georgia still has to go to Auburn as well as having to play Alabama in the CCG.

Where I'm struggling is with ND if they were to win out. Who's going to be their best win at the end of the year? Michigan State is about to go unranked, If they beat Stanford they'll be unranked, and I really think Va Tech will beat Miami so when they beat them that'll make Miami somewhere in the 15 range. So their best wins being USC (who I think loses 1 more too) and Miami.

They're going to have ZERO top 10 wins and possibly just 1-2 ranked wins overall. If we take care of business not sure how you keep us out if we end up having two top 10 wins and a being a conference championship.

Overall I'm not worried though because I personally think OU is going down this weekend, and I just don't see two teams from the same conference getting in. Another thing that bugs me is how people say if Georgia beats Alabama that you can't leave Alabama out. Why the hell can't they leave them out? They've played no one and the one opportunity they would've had for a good win they will have blown it. Why the fuck would they be immune and every other 1 loss programs aren't? Why because they've been in the playoffs every year?

The reason why Alabama wins so many games and gets so many recruits is because people buy into this "bigger then life" persona that they have. More often then not teams have lost the games against them before they even walk into the stadium to play them.

I could live with that. Then again, anything that has tOSU as the only B1G team in and ND out works for me.

This, this, a thousand times this...

There's a lot of info here

Just a couple of conference winners I noted during my scroll thru

2002 ACC - Florida State was 9-5
2003 BigXII - Kansas State was 11-4
2004 Big East - Pittsburgh was 8-4
2005 ACC - Florida State was 8-5

No way those sorts of teams should have had a shot at the title. As I've argued since day one, football is different in that we're trying to discern "the best" team. Playoff's do not help determine that by the nature of playoffs themselves. It assumes that some conference winner is better than some other conference number 2. While it may be the case, it may also not be the case.

Your Villanova NCAA championship in 1985 is a perfect illustration... 1985 Villanova beat Georgetown for the championship. The same Georgetown team they had lost to 2 times prior that very season!

Can someone take that gif of Mark May slurping an invisible fat one and slap Heather Dinich’s disgusting mug on it already?

If she wants to be him so bad and bash the Buckeyes around the clock, we might as well oblige by giving her ugly ass something to view across social media sites when her name comes up.

This has been going on for two or three years now.

Yeah fuck that bitch and her Jay Leno chin.

They’ll find a way to give the nod to Ohio State, either by putting them both in or having the Bucks jump Oklahoma.

Not going to happen. OU is not TCU. If Ohio State and OU are both 11-1 conference champs, they will not jump us over them. And I think it's clear that the committee is not interested in sending ND a message.to join a conference. If they win out, they will be in no matter what.
