Go back to the BCS era: play 11 regular season games, have your conference winners play in a big BCS bowl game (have 4 BCS games so you can have all P5 conference winnners going and 3 wild card teams in a BCS bowl), and have these games between Christmas and New Years. The winners go the BCS games will go to a 4 team playoff, and that's how the playoff should be done. You still finish playing 15 games if you are the champs and the bowl games get their endorsments still, plus it solves isues about winning your confrence and honesty if you don't win your conference or aren't one of 3 wildcard teams selected your resume and work isn't that good and you won't have a shot to compete in the playoff.

if they play each other. Even though I have good Holiday Bowl tix lined up if Michigan comes to San Diego, I am totally fine if we go to Outback Bowl Better match up for us and its much more important Michigan sends it seniors out with a win than I get to see them in San Diego, While I think we would wallop AZ, 50 -50 on Stanford if Bryce Love is healthy. He is a tremendous back and I would not be surprised to see him win the Heisman next year if he stays healthy.

First off, there was no way that I thought OSU deserved the 4th spot. They screwed themselves last year by: 1. Whining that they should go to the playoff over PSU, a team that beat them AND won the B1G championship, and 2. Completely laying an egg against Clemson. By helping set the precedent that the B1G champion doesn't get to go, it played against them this year.
Now, as for Alabama, I don't think they should have gotten the spot either. They struggled at the end of the season against Miss. St. and lost to Auburn. Honestly, Auburn is a better team (when healthy) and not only beat Alabama but crushed Georgia once too. It's an absurd system that Auburn beats 2 out of the 4 "playoff" teams but isn't in the mix. And, I'd even say USC has a beef. They didn't even make the top six.
As I hate to complain without offering a solution, I think expanding the playoffs makes sense. However, I would make the conference championships as part of the playoff process.

in the Rose Bowl. What tradition.
I live 20 minutes away and I wouldn't go if YOU Paid ME a dime.

You can still watch Northwestern vs Stanford in the holiday bowl for tradition.

I'm tired of listening to Herbie tell anyone who will listen how tough it is to go to Iowa and win I don't recall him saying that last year when he lost by 1 not 31

More of a reason WHY OSU should NOT be in the CFP. A CFP designated team should be good enough to go and win an away game. OSU proved they are not a CFP by losing huge to a mediocre IOWA team.

Not that the coaches poll carries any weight but how do they pick the coaches that get a vote? Meyer has one Dantonio has one Franklin has one Herman has one Saban has one Harbaugh doesn't . Just curious
December 3rd, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
I think I read that Harbaugh declined. I could be wrong.

There are a lot of rumors swirling on other sites that the Outback settled on UM before the playoffs were announced based on what their choices would be, to get an early start. If OSU was picked, Sparty would have gone to Citrus and they'd choose between UM and NW. If OSU wasn't picked, they would choose between Sparty, UM, or NW. They decided in either situation they'd rather have Michigan. If this is true, Sparty drops to Holiday. This is also being reported by San Diego/Stanford/Arizona sites. They are anticipating MSU.

This would be even funnier rival schaenfreude than OSU this morning!

and despite fact I should have have good tix for family if Michigan in Holiday Bowl. Sparty deserves nothing better after a 48-3 beat down by OSU. While were at it, here's to hoping we win the turnover battle 5-0 at East Lansing next year cuz if we did, we would win by 40.
