***OFFICIAL 2014 COLLEGE FOOTBALL DISCUSSION THREAD***

Meaning, Alabama vs FSU would be more difficult for the Tide than if they had to beat tOSU or Baylor in first round.

Lots of good games and close games so far. Well except the B1G. I feel humbled now. Ohio State is impressing so far with that backup QB. I did not see that coming. Boy was I wrong....

I love underdogs and upsets as much as any. But more than that right now I just want to see the four best teams in the playoffs, which is usually toughest teams to beat. And they tend to be real good on both sides of the ball. I believe that's Alabama Oregon TCU & FSU.

I don't want an easy path for one of the three teams because FSU loses and Ohio St (without Barrett) or Baylor (weakest D of the top 6) sneaks in.

I'm not convinced FSU is better than Ohio State or Baylor. They have my respect for being able to pull out win after win and by winning the NC last year, but they've only had 3 or 4 convincing wins this year. Their best victory is over Clemson. The ND win looked pretty good at the time but they're not even ranked now. They're barely beating crap teams.

If they lose to Georgia Tech it's not because GT got lucky.

OSU hasn't been impressive most of the season though. They stepped up against MSU, and obviously tonight, but weren't very impressive the rest of the year. I have a feeling the committee came into tonight with the mindset that somebody above has to lose for them to get in.

 
Tiebreaker Procedures

Effective June 2014

The following procedure will determine the Big 12 Conference representative to the Sugar Bowl (or alternate College Football Playoff game when the Sugar Bowl is a semifinal) in the event of a first-place or alternate place tie (for the avoidance of doubt, only Conference records will be used throughout the process):

  1. If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.

As a TCU fan for a long time (yet no comparison to my die hard husker devotion), I feel bad they did not make it.

Nothing I can do about it but say congrats to the Buckeyes. Will root for you and wish you the best. Do the B1G proud.
