Of the four teams in the playoff, the only one that didn't deserve to be there was the undefeated reigning National Champs. It would be impossible for the committee to put TCU in there ahead of FSU. Six teams, the top 5 power conference winners plus one at large team selected by the committee. Bye week for the top two. But to make it really work the conferences need to play each other like the NFL does with divisions. 10 regular season games, 8 conference games, one creampuff for homecoming and one of the other major conference teams.
OSU has the formula to beat Oregon. Dominant front 4 and a good running game for ball control. But I hate Urban Meyer so go Ducks!
