That's not the goal of the playoffs though. They need to add either 2 or 4 more teams, but this was better than what we had before for sure.

OSU was damn impressive in blowing through the supposed best two teams in the country. I have a hard time thinking that TCU could have kept up. OSU's physicality would have completely worn them down too!
They should just pick the 4 ********* teams to compete for the national championship. Then we would make sure no undeserving jabronis would win it!
Wow, the amount of folks on Facebook/Twitter whining about U.Meyer running up the score is comical. A lot of OSU haters fighting strong tonight.
I badly wanted Oregon to win this one for a number of reasons, but 3 things are true.
- Urban did not run up the score
- OSU is clearly the best team of the 4
- playoff football is fun and needs to go to 8 teams

They got pretty well dominated despite getting 4 takeaways. Ohio State did everything they could to keep Oregon in this one, and they still won by 3 TD's. Oregon's got very little reason to feel like they ****** this away.
Ohio State is just that good.
I'm not against that TD but in what other game would someone up 15 points score with 30 seconds left?
Agreed on all 3 counts. As much as it pains me to say it, OSU proved most of the doubters wrong, and deserved to be there.
That doesn't mean there aren't other teams that didn't deserve to be there(cough, cough, TCU), but OSU more than proved their worth.
That being said screw those Buckeye douches.

they weren't very good, but there's no way you leave out the undefeated reigning champs. That was never ever, ever going to happen. Can you imagine the uproar? It would have been deafening. Plus, FSU had a better record and better SOS than either Baylor or TCU. There's no scenario where they wouldn't have made it. The TCU snub was put to bed for the vast majority of people when Ohio State beat Bama. Now, that the Buckeyes have won it all? TCU is nothing but a footnote on a completed season. One sentence on the Wikipedia page of the 2014 season.
I think most rational humans saw that today. That said, Oregon dropped 2 key 3rd down passes that easily should have been caught to keep drives going. Could have changed this game.
Just like limit the turnovers OSU wins by 5-6 TDs.
Again, a lot of credit to U.Meyer and staff. No one. NO ONE gave OSU a shot and no one thought OSU would even be in the top 15 after losing B.Miller and losing to VaTech.
Insane resolve from this team.
OSU vs TCU would have been a great game to watch. But what I saw tonight leads me to believe OSU would win that game by about 10 on a neutral field.
The inevitable claims that FSU was actually the best team in the country had they been left out of the playoffs is enough of a reason to include them, I couldn't handle that for an entire year.
Which of these things aren't like the other? Which of these things doesn't belong...
