    Too many key players are sitting out bowl games, now.

    I'm not sure what solution can be found.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    No big loss. The USC game showed the difference between an NFL caliber quarterback ( Williams ) and a ham and egger ( Pyne ) . N.D. needs an upgrade at quarterback.

    Agree, and Buchner wasn’t the answer either. These are Kelly QB too.

    USC shot themselves in the foot and handed Ohio State a playoff slot.

    I was hoping both Alabama and Ohio St. missed it, this year.

    With TCU losing, it looks like Bama and OSU both have a shot now.

    I think it would be the first time a 2 loss team makes the playoffs.

    12-0 Georgia (winning as I type)
    12-0 Michigan (plays Purdue, tonight)
    (Both of these teams are in, even if they lose, today)

    12-1 TCU
    11-1 OH St

    11-2 USC
    10-2 Alabama
    10-2 Clemson (plays #23 UNC, tonight)

    10-2 TN, Penn St & Clemson (Hard to justify jumping ahead of AL)

    Right now its probably
    1. Georgia
    2. Michigan
    3. Ohio State

    and 4th spot is likely between TCU and Bama. I wont be surprised if Bama gets 4th seed.

    Sadly, I agree.

    The close way TCU lost might help them, but 'Bama is a bigger draw and a money-maker.

    Absolutely. Especially with the chance for the first round matchups to be a Michigan/OSU rematch and a Bama/Georgia SEC battle? That would kill it rating wise

    The Big 12 is not all that strong, but I think a 1 loss team deserves it over a two loss.

    TCU did beat Texas and K St- both ranked. Yes, Alabama had a tougher schedule, but I think they should keep it at no 2 loss teams ever making it.

    Bama is better, so I get it.

    The playoffs are expanding to 12 teams, so 2 and 3 loss teams will be included then. The SEC is by far the toughest conference. Alabama is a better team than TCU. I wonder if any of those committee members would put money on TCU in a game against the Crimson Tide ? I doubt it.

    Folks complain about the pace of play in baseball. What about college football ? The endless series of reviews , replays , penalty flags and various other delays is really getting annoying.

    True, but I don't think the rubric is about who is the best. It's about primarily records, then strength of schedule.

    I thought Alabama would be in. I also thought Ohio St would be #3.
