Yea, it would be hilarious to see the Big XII get two teams (not named Texas or Oklahoma) into the first 4 team playoffs. I also what to see how highly this committee rates championship games. What if Missou and Wisky both win and one of them jumps into the top 4 because lolConferenceChamp instead of looking at the body of work? That would be a very dangerous precedent and one I'd like to see avoided very early on.

If they were undefeated then I think you would be correct; however, if a 1 loss team loses to a team in the bottom half of the top 25 and still stays ahead of other 1 loss teams they would be setting another very dangerous precedent.

Every top 6 team besides OSU had two losses that year. The equivalent would have been jumping a 3 loss team above those two loss teams.

I'm willing to give him another year, because truthfully I think he's the best we can do. Pumped for the game though - liked what I saw from Rudolph at Baylor...

07 Was still the craziest year I've ever seen in college football. To end the season, the #1 ranked team lost in 3 of the last 4 weeks (#1 Ohio St lost, then #1 LSU lost, then #1 Missouri lost, and Ohio St and LSU got back to the top of the polls). The end of that season was a total clusterfuck.
And if anyone cares in a more in-depth look at the craziness at the end of that season:
There's 15 weeks in the season:
Week 11:
#1 Ohio St Loses
(LSU moves to #1, Oregon to #2)
Week 12:
#2 Oregon Loses
(LSU stays #1, kansas to #2)
Week 13:
#1 LSU Loses
#2 kansas loses
(Missouri moves to #1, West Virginia to #2, #3-7 are Ohio St, Georgia, Virginia Tech, kansas, LSU. At this point we are 1 week away from a Missouri-West Virginia national title game)
Week 14:
#1 Missouri loses
#2 West Virginia loses
Ohio St moves to #1 from #3
LSU leaps to #2 from #7 after beating Tennessee by 1 TD in the SEC title game, #4 Georgia was idle(Tenn won the East)
Virginia Tech beat Boston College in the ACC title game but only moved up from 6 to 3,
Oklahoma jumped up to #4 from # 9 after beating #1 Missouri in the Big 12 title game
Georgia slipped to #5 from #4 while idle)
Virginia Tech was the team that got totally screwed in 2007. #7 LSU was 10-2 playing #14 Tennessee who was 9-3 in the SEC title game, and LSU wins 21-14. #6 Virginia Tech was 10-2 playing #11 Boston college who was also 10-2 in the ACC title game, and Va Tech won 30-16. So Virginia Tech was ranked higher to start, beat a better team, by more, and got leaped by LSU to move into #2 and the National Title game.
Week 11:
#1 Ohio St Loses
(LSU moves to #1, Oregon to #2)
Week 12:
#2 Oregon Loses
(LSU stays #1, kansas to #2)
Week 13:
#1 LSU Loses
#2 kansas loses
(Missouri moves to #1, West Virginia to #2, #3-7 are Ohio St, Georgia, Virginia Tech, kansas, LSU. At this point we are 1 week away from a Missouri-West Virginia national title game)
Week 14:
#1 Missouri loses
#2 West Virginia loses
Ohio St moves to #1 from #3
LSU leaps to #2 from #7 after beating Tennessee by 1 TD in the SEC title game, #4 Georgia was idle(Tenn won the East)
Virginia Tech beat Boston College in the ACC title game but only moved up from 6 to 3,
Oklahoma jumped up to #4 from # 9 after beating #1 Missouri in the Big 12 title game
Georgia slipped to #5 from #4 while idle)
Virginia Tech was the team that got totally screwed in 2007. #7 LSU was 10-2 playing #14 Tennessee who was 9-3 in the SEC title game, and LSU wins 21-14. #6 Virginia Tech was 10-2 playing #11 Boston college who was also 10-2 in the ACC title game, and Va Tech won 30-16.

Seasons like '07 and decisions like LSU to #2 make me lament the fact that the computers didn't play a larger role in the BCS formula after the '04 season instead of a smaller role. Leaving these decisions to biased what-have-you-done-for-me-lately AP reporters and coaches who had no time to watch other games was a huge mistake.

I'll be rooting for you all! If you all beat Bama', I'll get the pitchforks ready when they still put Bama' in the top 4.Well, time to go drink myself into a stupor in order to either drown my sorrows or celebrate like I've won the lottery. Here's to a great day of college football

TCU doing a pretty good job of making sure everyone believes they deserve to be in the playoffs.
