I think we all agree that Michigan and Washington are in. Who should join them? Note that I am asking for your opinion on what SHOULD happen, not your prediction of what WILL happen.

Why even play regular season games, just skip those pesky games and go right to who you “feel” should be inBama started out meek but came on strong and thrashed some teams.
I think they are better than Texas and FSU now despite losing to Texas 2nd week in Sept.

Actually, what we are discussing now WILL be an issue next year, but on a much smaller scale. Next year we will be discussing which four teams should get byes.I voted FSU and Texas. Would love to see it so that SEC is shut out.
Obviously FSU is the pink elephant in the room. By the time the playoffs start, the back up QB will be ready and they ll have several weeks to learn the offense better.
With the playoffs expanding to 12 teams next year, what we’re specifically discussing won’t be an issue but my vote is because of the following:
- You can’t exclude a p5 undefeated school despite Travis’ injury and how pathetic the ACC is
- Texas beat Bama head to head in Bama.
Interesting point. There are different ways for the committee to look at this.Why even play regular season games, just skip those pesky games and go right to who you “feel” should be in
The NFL doesn't care about things like who you feel should be in. Every team that gets into the playoffs gets in on merit. Did you play a tougher schedule and got left out because you played every game close but lost just one more than another team that got in? Sorry, you should have done better.
You go undefeated and you keep playing until you do get beaten. (sorry Liberty, you play in a different division. ) and you lost to another team in the regular season? Well there is your head 2 head tiebreaker, which is always 1st tiebreaker in the NFL. Should have won that game.
It's going to be fun watching the SEC threaten to SECeed when they get left out.

Actually, in the nine years that the four team playoff has been in place, Texas has never been selected.FSU, Michigan, Alabama, Texas. It's refreshing to see such new teams being considered for the playoff round...
Yep I don't see his point either. FSU hasn't been in the convo for a spot in a decade. And Michigan is a newbie themselves - last 3 years sure but before that?Actually, in the nine years that the four team playoff has been in place, Texas has never been selected.
Every result yesterday went against OSU getting in. it's not gonna happen and it shouldn't.Ohio State's only loss came against Michigan at Michigan and was an under one score loss. They have two quality wins. I'd put them in, but that means two B1G teams, and leaving some conference out. So the committee will chicken out from this choice.
I'd put OSU and Texas in.
The committee will go for FSU and Texas.
I think this is very likely. I think the committee will use the Travis injury as a reason they leave FSU out. I don’t particularly like the phrase “they pass the eye test”. That is a very subjective thing. I lean more toward “most deserving” rather than “best”. The best team doesn’t always win. What happens on the field has to be heavily considered. Otherwise, let Vegas or NFL scouts tell you who “the best” team is and we can crown the champion and don’t bother with the playoff.FSU will get the screw in spite of an undefeated season....they're looking for the best 4, not necesarily the perfect record. Texas will be #3 vs. Washington and Michigan vs Alabama. FSU and Georgia at 5 and 6.
FSU - Undefeated Conference Champ
Texas - Conf Champ and beat Bama on the road
The SEC would secede from the NCAA if they don’t have at least one team in the playoff. It just so happens that the scheduling made it this way (but Washington did travel to Michigan St in September lol). Interesting that Texas got to play a Big12 schedule (road win at Bama notwithstanding) despite transitioning to the SEC for what seems like the past 5 years or so. This season demands a 7 team playoff field.
