pussyfooterGonna be tough for any non-sec team to break into that top 4, oregon is there for now but they have some tough games coming up. Mariota is dope but defense isnt doing as well as they could.
Anyway, the 4 game playoff is almost as much of a joke as BSC. We need a top 16 playoff, I'm sure teams would play an extra 2 or 3 games for a real playoff...
El_Barto.I think if UO wins out they are in. They have a big game this weekend, then two crappy teams and the pac champ game. There defense is definitely their weak part...its pretty bad compared to the SEC. I want to see TCU vs UO
Chubz.they won that game last call was complete bullshit)
.Hugo.Enlighten me
The rest of your post..... loolololol
Chubz.The recievers made too much contact for too long but notre dame would have scored regardless of that call. The reciever who scored was wide open and would have been even if those corners were left alone. If the played again notre dame would walk all over florida state.
That team is over rated and pulls wins out of their ass at the last minute.

S.ShusterYou even said it there. There was contact for TOO LONG. It doesn't matter if your receiver is wide open. Once a receiver continues to make contact after the initial hit, that is deemed offensive pass interference. This isn't the NFL. The ref made a very hard call to make, but the correct one. Everything is lined out right here: http://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/2jo1v6/lets_talk_about_pass_interference/
ND will not even make the playoff. There's a reason they're ranked #10. We all remember what happened when they went to the national championship. They just aren't fully there.
Watch out for Auburn, they play some damn good football.
I'd also love to see MSU make it for some B1G representation, but that's unlikely.
Kooky_LukeyThey need to do something more like the basketball bracket. I'm not saying a 64 team bracket, but a bracket where teams who win the MAC, WAC, Conference USA, etc, get a shot too. Everyone loves a Cinderalla story and there is no chance for that in the FBS.
For example this year with Marshall, they could win out and not even get a look for a playoff. I would love to see a Cinderella story like Butler in FBS, but I doubt it'll ever happen.
Chubz.In notre dame's defense Alabama was unstoppable that year. I whole heartedly believe notre dame would put up a fight with any team this year.
FSU did not destroy notre dame, it was a game till the very end and a game in my opinion the irish should have won.
I agree that the irish need to join a respectable conference but in my honest opinion they are a team that deserves a spot in the playoff bracket.

pussyfooter32 would be dope, but thats ALOT of games. theyd have to start the season a couple weeks earlier and then go until February and the networks would NOT be stoked on some bullshit college playoff taking over the NFL playoffs.
El_Barto.Marshall might be able to win one game...and one game only. Absolutely no chance they could get through a playoff with the likes of Bama, Auburn and Oregon
.Hugo.i dont think they will ever be able to have more than an 8 team playoff, and idk if we will ever even see that happen. It would just be too many games and as eheath said it would cut into the nfl playoffs. That along with all the bowl games would just get to be too much. The bowl games already span over the course of almost a month.
pussyfooterIdeally they'd turn the Playoff matchups into "bowl games" basically if you're top 32 now you get a bowl games, so you'd still play but then you have the chance to play more as you win. Sponsors would be stoked I think, but thatd take years to put into motion.
.Hugo.so like if you won a bowl game, you get to play in another bowl game? interesting. I bet there would be a lot of upset programs that consistently make bowl games but arent consistently in the top 32.
Like you said though, i dont see anything changing with this 4 team playoff for years. They need to give this a try and see how it plays out before they even think about switching it or adding on to it
pussyfooterYeah or they might be super stoked cause they usually get some jewbowl before jan 1st and would be stoked to TRY and play after jan 1st.

El_Barto.Man, no love for Oregon. Maybe its because I see them every week and have for the past decade im the only one who realizes just how unstoppable they can be.
pussyfooterMaybe a few years ago with chip...
Oregon is usually pretty good but we'll see if they get a chance, it's likely they'd get stomped.
LaheyEven if you argue that the team is good enough to be in the top 4 and therefore be in the playoff (which i don't think they are), i just don't think they've had the dominance this year to justify a spot in it at this point. They barely beat UNC and Navy, and those are both teams that any elite team would blow out. They really only have two wins this year by a significant margin, and the one time they had to prove themselves as an elite team (against FSU) they lost.
NJurkiewiczI think it is going to be FSU, Auburn, Oregon, TCU. Alabama may beat LSU, but they still have Miss. St. and Auburn left. Miss. St. has Alabama and Ole Miss left and I think they will take a loss. Auburn's win against Ole Miss on the road was huge and has definitely given them so confidence. Their hardest game of the season will be the Iron Bowl, but I have faith they can come out on top. Oregon only has Utah left to play and once they do that they can coast through the rest of the season insuring them a top 4 seat.
El_Barto.I agree on only one sec team getting in. MissSt, bama and auburn are all going to eat each other alive and only one will make it out.
Piste.OffCurrently a 4 team playoff for 5 power conferences and right now 3 out of the top 4 are from the same conference, ya that's not going to last.
I say for an 8 team playoff. All power 5 conference champs get an auto invite, 2 at large power 5 bids, and last bid goes to highest ranked team from a non power 5.
Chubz.in my honest opinion they are a team that deserves a spot in the playoff bracket.
