If I was PSU, I'd be pissed as hell.

I guess, but if you only have 4 slots and no automatics, then it is really not that tough a call to take someone else over PSU. That Ohio State had a win over the Big 12 Champs also helps make this an easy call.

OSU will likely take it again.

Washington exposes Bammers secondary and beats them. Urban pounds Dabo into submission with nearly a month to prep for him. Huskies go flat after to straight east coast trips, Suckeyes win title in an uninspiring title game in Tampa.

And they thought a 4 team playoff would cut down all the controversy and no one gets left out. Riiiiiiiight.

That's because it's still a beauty contest instead of taking the highest ranked conference champions.

It would be foolish to bet against Bama unless the spread is crazy like 20+

No one is a better motivator than Meyer. Remember how pumped he got our guys to play OSU in 06 by showing them press clippings? He'll be doing the same thing, showing them all the people who said they should have been left out, etc.

Well they should have been left out. The second they were eliminated from B1G contention they should have been eliminated from consideration.

Should have been, but that's not the criteria. They could simplify a lot of the controversy if only conference winners were eligible.

Exactly what I'm saying.

I don't want a bunch of 3-4 loss conference champs when better teams are available.

Picking the 4 best teams available means they can pick 4 conference champs if they're the best. But it also gives them leeway to pick someone else if they're not, like in the case of Penn St.

This is what I hate about the playoff system. If it's 4 teams then 5 and 6 bitch, if it's 8 teams then 9 & 10 bitch. So on and so on. If you're not 1 or 2 shut the **** up, you don't deserve a chance anyway.
