Doesn't matter really but I think CU and OSU swap spots and still play one another.
B1G and ACC championships
- Thread starter Beatle Bum
- Start date
I think Penn State's win last night eliminates the talk about Michigan getting the 4th spot.
Both Washington and Penn State are conference champions but each has a negative -- Washington's strength of schedule and PSU's two early losses. In the end I think the committee will go with the Huskies. The PAC 12 would go ballistic if their champion was left out two years in a row. Oklahoma probably didn't deserve to get in last year.

Ohio State tied Penn State for the west. If Michigan had beaten Iowa then the tiebreaker would have went to OSU. If all that matters is conference championships then line up the Austin Pea of the world for pre conference games. schedules even in Conference are not always equal. If the committee were picking a Conference Champion then absolutely they should pick Penn State. They are selecting a national champion so pre conference games matter. A road win against Oklahoma trumps a loss to Pitt. 11-1 trumps 11-2.
The B1G was the best conference this year. UM manhandled PSU and beat Wisky. It also beat the runner up of the PAC 12 definitively. But, the loss to Iowa and the inherent desire not to have 2 teams from one conference will keep the Wolverines on the outside looking in.
Clemson played poorly this year in many games. They almost gave away games to Troy, UL, NCSt, VT, and lost to Pitt. At the end of the season, I think the ACC was not a great conference.
I rank the 4 playoff teams like this:
1. Bama
2. OSU
3. Washington
4. Clemson

Any one else think it is time to do away with the divisions and play the two best teams in Conference playoffs?
The NFL has division champions and wild cards. The top 6 teams don't always make the playoffs.
IMO, Penn St should be in. The question is Washington or ohiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiio st. IMO, it should be Washington. They lost one game but won their conference whereas ost lost to their conference champion head-to-head, got lucky to beat Mich St, needed a bad call to beat Michigan and didn't even play in the conf championship.
Well you certainly are going to be disappointed. Funny how you left the whole thing about Penn State losing two games out. Quess pre conference games don't count. By the way that was a good spot against Michigan.
