Mavric Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 So this whole playoff thing was a terrible idea, right? I mean, this season would have been much better with Alabama and Florida State playing for the National Championship and Oregon not getting a chance. Quote Link to comment

I mean, this season would have been much better with Alabama and Florida State playing for the National Championship and Oregon not getting a chance. No. Alabama, Oregon and tOSU deserved to be in the playoffs. But FSU had no business being there no matter what their "record" showed or the fact they're the defending National Champions. If the committee would have taken a hard look at their games, they may have chosen a different 4th team (TCU). Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I just hate it that this playoff system has ruined the entire bowl season. This hasn't been exciting at all. Quote Link to comment

If the committee would have taken a hard look at their games, they may have chosen a different 4th team (TCU). But it would be REALLY hard to defend that decision. I agree that their quality of play was not up to snuff, but they were still undefeated. I just hate making qualitative judgments about teams when it comes to ranking and placement in a playoff, so I'm torn! Quote Link to comment

I have to think there may be a few tweaks to how the committee selects the four teams Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 tschu gets it I don't think FSU would have deserved to be in a two-team national championship. But they would have been there. Quote Link to comment
It'sNotAFakeID Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Would've liked to see TCU in there, but if TCU was included, Baylor would have to be in there and that couldn't happen. Glad Oregon whipped FSU earlier. Quote Link to comment
