The lolzy scenario is Clemson Alabama and Stanford all losing

Playoff = 1 Oklahoma vs 4 UNC and 2 B1G title winner vs 3 Ohio State

I would think the committee would try to avoid to OSU-MSU rematch in the semis...

I think the B1G winner is jumping Oklahoma regardless. So on that scenario it would be msu vs UNC and osu vs Oklahoma.

Espn loses huge dollars in revenue if an entire region of the country is left out and another b1g team goes instead. It's really that simple.

Frankly the Midwest would and does still watch when they are left out. The southeast and especially the west coast will not tune very well.

Annoying but does anyone really think educated, intelligent people on the CFP committee listen to a word that empty headed ken doll says?

He and his hair dryer have about the same quality of output.

Can't remember which member here posted it on Facebook, but Ohio State had the three highest watched football games of the year and I think the Sparty game was #1. So, say we get in at #4 by Clemson losing and the committee not listening to Herpshit, and beat #1 Alabama (which in itself will be a ratings bonanza) and Sparty beats Oklahoma, a rematch between The Bucks and Sparty fpr the national title will do quite well for ratings...

I love the ESPNU talking heads: "Some people want an 8 team playoff that's essentially what we have starting today." :roll1:

Agree 100%. If we actually played well for 8 or 9 games, and lost of MSU, I think we have a great shot. It's that we only played well 3 or 4 times this year and lost to MSU that I think we don't get in. UNC has played similar competition (after today) and have dominated in 8 or 9 games, with 1 win over a top 10 team, but has dominated most of their competition. After losing in a game that seems like an eternity ago. Everyone is allowed to have 3 games where they struggle against weak competition, it's just the nature of a season, but we had 8 of those by my count and that's too much to overcome.

This is why it is so hard to repeat. The second title is much more difficult than the first because the drive just isn't there.

They'd love to have osu but instead of Iowa (or baylor). They don't love having Sparty/Iowa locked in then replacing the southeast or west coast viewers with Ohio state

question becomes the calculus of OSU's draw vs that of the incremental west coast viewers gained because of Stanford

Lets say Clemson loses and they seed it Bama, MSU, OU, X

Is Stanford vs Bama going to outdraw OSU Bama II?

Not sure what part of "the most watched college football game of the year" is so confusing. If more people watched the Sparty game than any other college football game, in late November, they'll sure as hell watch the rematch in the NCG. Our game against Oregon in the championship game was the most-watched college football game in history, despite neither team being from a prime market.
