Actually, they are saying what they should have said in September: Conference championships matter.
OK, I'm cool with that. Just let us know ahead of time. No need to be cute and coy about it.

I might be missing something, but I thought they'd always said conference championships matter. It was just unclear whether this mattered more or less than head-to-head. Now we have our answer.

washington's impressive victory coming at expense of the starting qb for colorado being hurt on third play
no mention of speight being hurt
kannell and galloway are douche bags
preaseason schedule doesn't matter
like 2006, if you don't play, you apparently get jumped, even by teams you beat by 39
if clemson and washington had lost, 5 bucks says oklahoma and psu would have jumped michigan, no way they put in 3 B1G teams
beat FSU

College Football Selections
are a F'In Joke
Screw Everything
December 4th, 2016 at 12:36 PM ^
It's just like the NCAA basketball selection now. They count the late games more than the early ones. Michigan faded while PSU surged at the end. It sucks but that's what happened.

Not sure I agree with point 1 being a lesson. OSU is in over PSU because they beat Oklahoma on the road, if they had played Toledo instead don't think they are in.

Disagree. Like Danny Kanell said, if you switch Ohio St. and Penn St. we aren't even having the conversation.

When we scheduled Colorado they were a trash team. It was pure luck they turned into a good win this year
December 4th, 2016 at 12:49 PM ^
Yeah, Head to Head is the big loser. They will wash it away, especially if it is early / mid-season.
Kind of strange if you think about it. Everything else is theory. Head to head tells you who is better. That's why you play games instead of running computer simulations.
Also, despite all the talk about "Best 4 no matter what", they are still skewed toward "Most deserving" They like conference champions and / or strong OOC scheduling.
They are not trying to pick the 4 teams that would beat every other team.
December 4th, 2016 at 1:06 PM ^
tell you who's better. They're better on that day but not necessarily tell you who's the better overall team. We all know Michigan is a better overall team than Iowa but Iowa beat them. Is Iowa a better team than Michigan? No.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:48 PM ^
1 is just flat wrong. Washington was almost jumped by a team with two pretty bad losses (one by 39 pts and one to a 4-loss team) solely because of their weak OOC schedule. If they played even a remotely challenging non-conf schedule, PSU wouldn't even be in the discussion for a CFP spot
I also don't know why people give a shit about us being 5 or 6, it means nothing. 5, 6 or 10, its the same thing, we don't make the playoffs

I hope like hell that Clemson and Washington meet for the championship.
If its OSU and Bama I wont watch. I dont want either of them to be National Champs
December 4th, 2016 at 12:38 PM ^
Welp got jumped by psu so now I'm glad Clemson won so those fucks don't get to play in the playoffs.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:38 PM ^
STFU Galloway. OSU isn't "built" and had to be given calls to win the game against Michigan and lost to the Big 10 champ. What a chump.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:46 PM ^
December 4th, 2016 at 12:56 PM ^
Galloway's happiness to jab Michigan while talking up Ohio State and how they and Alabama are built for this is hard to watch. Already can't stand the guy but when he can barely contain his giddiness, ugh. Fucking sports sometimes.

I get what you're saying but Washington had one more win than PSU which is why I think (feel) they weren't put in. Who really knows.
Frankly the way the B1G championship played out really fucked everything up.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:39 PM ^
I can't imagine 5 people who are bigger babbling idiots on tv at once than the 5 on this CFP selction show.

Still wouldn't have been enough. We needed both Washington and Clemson to lose.
Further away than we all thought.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:53 PM ^
I'm not so sure about that. There is no difference between 5 and 6 since both miss the playoffs. Probaby easier for the committee to put the conf. champ higher since the impact is nil. If a spot was in play, it wouldn't surprise me if the results were different.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:39 PM ^
Fuck you committee.
Lesson to Michigan. Schedule cupcakes in non-conference and schedule OSU at the beginning of the season.
OSU/UM at the end of the year made sense when the winner went to the Rose Bowl. We now have to account for divisional tie-breaker rules and committee penalities for late season losses. Never agree to Iowa at night from now.
Fuck this shit.
Best 4 is irrelevant.
December 4th, 2016 at 12:42 PM ^
How about we fucking beat OSU for once?
That would be nice.
It would also be nice to beat the fucking Hawkeyes in Kinnick too.

Exactly. If that game was a win against Oklahoma State instead, Ohio State would be out.
Otherwise, they lost to Penn State, "beat" Michigan in 2OT on a controversial call, and snuck past Sparty on a brain-dead missed 2PT call.
Not exactly the stuff of a #2 or #3 team.

Big Ten divisions are a joke. Big Ten West will never field a competitive winner. Iowa of last season was a paper tiger, then badly exposed by Stanford.
Big Ten West will always be a Wisconsin sideshow. Look at this results / participants table for the B10 championship. Michigan shut out in 6 years! Makes one sick!
4 Appearances - Wisconsin
3 Appearances - MSU
and on and on it goes...
December 4th, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
GUYS...Where can I start the thread that Michigan can STILL get in?? lol fools

Troll bitch
December 4th, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
So now that a team got in without even going to their CCG, who is going to be first to go undefeated in their regular season, then decline going to their CCG in favor of keeping a guaranteed 100% win pct for their playoff bid resume?
