Going to an 8 game conference schedule in the Pac-12 is stupid with the pod scheduling that the Cali schools have.

What gets me is the whole weeknight thing...Friday games need to be treated the same as Thursday games are. Stanford and OSU both had byes before they played on a Thursday a few weeks ago. UCLA had a bye before they came here last year, and so did we....If you're going to schedule conference games on Fridays, both teams DO NOT play period the previous Saturday. USC played at Cal the Saturday before they lost to Washington State. (Wazzu also played at home against Nevada) Washington State played at Oregon the Saturday before they lost to Cal. (Cal played at Washington) Washington played Oregon at home the Saturday before they played Stanford. (Stanford played at Washington State)

The freaking Pac-12 Championship game is going to feature USC coming off a bye facing a North team on a short week.:ROFLMAO:

I thought it was sort of bull**** last year with the game being on Friday and is coming on a short week. If the game was a day later and the buffs had the usual amount of time to prepare and travel it would have been fine but giving Washington basically an extra day and a half from an early Friday Apple cup ended up hurting us IMO.

Also, both Ohio State and Penn State jumping USC in the CFP show ridiculous bias. Take a step back and look at the resumes. I might be ok with PSU, but not OSU.

I would agree, but Penn State will beat the Huskers on Saturday by at least 70 points, so Penn State will likely earn that spot.

The committee still seems to give too much leeway to the SEC playing an 8-game conference schedule.

The impact of the 4th non-nonference game shows up after this week for SOS. We will find out Tuesday night if it matters.
 
1. Bama
2. Miami
3. Clemson
4. Oklahoma
5. Wisconsin
6. Auburn

At this point, I personally think it’s a joke that undefeated Wisconsin is still on the outside looking in, but Wisconsin beating Ohio State in the Big 10 CG should mean they’re a lock. Although, the idiots on ESPN right now saying it’s possible that Bama winning out, OU winning out, and Clemson beating Miami in a close game could keep the top 4 the same... If an undefeated P5 conference champion got left out of the CFP, and three 1 loss teams made it, the committee would lose all credibility.
 
I honestly don’t care that Clemson beat Auburn early in the season. They lost to a bad syracuse team. They are not deserving at the moment. Getting SEC-level of a pass

They are getting a Bama-level pass, which you have previously sanctioned.
 
Was chatting with another Badger fan, who also hates the playoffs as much as I do.

He was saying he hopes that Wisconsin misses the playoffs (and Rose Bowl), while finishing 14-0. He believes that would trigger the end of the playoffs.

I told him that would only serve to give playoff-advocates their case to expand it to eight teams.

Bama doesn’t have a loss, so their SOS, while weak, is passable because they’ve won every game.

It is a slippery slope when you allow past results to determine current rankings. If Bama loses this weekend, they really should drop toward 10ish (their best win is Mississippi State... by far) but everyone knows that will not happen. Clemson is getting a pass based on past results right now.

Playoffs are not going anywhere regardless of what happens

Maybe I heard it wrong but I think their argument for Miami if they lose to Clemson was if Wisconsin loses to Ohio State.

I agree with @Duff Man that Wisonsin will not get left out if they end up 13-0.

Other notes: I'd put OU at #2 and flip Ohio State and ND

Wisconsin fans can complain as much as they want, but if the roles were reversed, they'd be saying the same thing. Strength of schedules matter. Big time. They hold their own destiny, so not much to be upset with yet.

If Bama loses, I agree. My argument last week that they deserve a pass all hinges on the fact that they haven’t lost yet. Clemson has a really bad loss and only one impressive win. Maybe they’re getting a pass right now, but it’s far more egregious than the pass Bama is getting.

They won it all last year, so I am guessing the committee is probably weighing that in heavily.

Strenght of record matters more than SOR. Has predicted all playoff teams except one since inception of playoff.

Wisconsin knows the game. They are a lock if they win out. You are worrying too much here.
 
Let's say that Alabama, Miami and Oklahoma all win out.

If USC and Ohio State both finish 11-2 as conference champs, who do you put in the playoffs? (Assuming neither wins more dominantly than the other in its final 2 games.)

For me, it probably tips on the Stanford-Notre Dame game. USC blew out Stanford but got blown out at Notre Dame. If Stanford were to beat ND, I'd be able to say that it was kind of a flukey result with the way USC played there and be willing to listen to its arguments about the Pac-12 schedule ****ing them six ways from Sunday.

That would be an interesting scenario for sure. Both OSU and USC would have blowout road losses but USC's would be a bit more excusable than OSU getting killed by Iowa. If ND beats Stanford then I think the 4th spot would clearly go to OSU.

Would also help USC if Wazzu wins the North and they get a chance to avenge 1 of their losses.
