Yep. And I'd add that large conferences also devalue conference championship games because, most of the time, it's one division in each conference that's half decent while the other one is mediocre or flat out sucks. Look at the ACC & SEC for example. Year after year you have an undefeated or 1-loss time playing against a 3 or 4-loss team for the conference title.Indifference71 said:
I can't name any other sport....because that's how fucking stupid college football is. If the committee or whatever they hell they call themselves are supposed to pick the best 4 teams to be in the playoff, then OSU has to be in it. Like I said earlier, this current system does not value conference champions. Conference championship games are for $$$. Plain and simple.pureoc said:
Only way a non conf champ, essentially a wild card team like osu is, should get in the playoff is if the big ten conf champ is as well.Indifference71 said:
Because with this ridiculous system they have set up, a conference championship doesn't mean shit. It's the "best 4" teams. I said it earlier in the thread....should be an 8 team playoff with the 5 conf champs from the power 5 conferences and 3 at large bids. They finally do a playoff and can't even get that right.

the winner of the Big 10 title game should be in the final 4. how can you have a conference with 4 teams in the top 8 and the title winner doesn't get in the final 4? that makes no sense.
Name me any other sport where the 2nd or 3rd place team makes the playoffs and the 1st place team doesn't? The wild card team may make it further in the playoff but under no circumstance should the team that didn't win the conference or div play for the sports ultimate title unless the div/conf champ gets that opportunity as well.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250 -

By the way, I hate the case that a late loss is worse than an early loss. A loss is a loss. I don't care if you lose the first game or the 9th game.will myself to find a home, a home within myself

I'm surprised it took the Big Ten until the year 2011 to figure that out.Indifference71 said:

So you think if Michigan and Washington had won their games the same weekend Clemson lost to Pittsburgh, Clemson would've still been in the Top 4?Degeneratefk said:

This is the BEST of the Pac-12?(Washington & Colorado)
I think USC would beat both of these teams. And no, i'm not a USC fan.
How many points will Alabama beat Washington in the Playoffs?
