Oklahoma/Utah- Who makes the Playoff?

Nah, this is quite the take from you because I said that Baylor's OOC is trash:
seems perfectly reasonable in the context of the thread.... but whatever...
I'm betting that back in July, if I offered ISU an 11-1 record with a chance at a Big XII Football Championship, but you wouldn't make the CFP and would have to be ok with a berth in the Sugar Bowl, you'd have been fine with that....
as am I for BU
Utah has been blowing out teams while OU struggled with quite a few down the stretch. And, the P12 has not had a playoff team for a few years. IMO the only way OU gets in is if Utah loses...or MAYBE if OU blows out Baylor and Utah really struggles and pulls out a close win.
Not gonna matter. Oklahoma will beat Baylor by at least two scores. LSU will beat Georgia by 10. Oregon beats Utah in overtime.
OU to playoffs.
Utah has not beaten a team with over 7 wins all season.
It was the part where I said ISU could be 11-1 in football and play for the Big XII Championship, wasn't it?
No, it's more so that it has nothing to do with this topic.
Which is your favorite BU pastime: Covering up rape or covering up murder?
It was probably the part where you came here and expected any of us to give Baylor respect given so many things about who that program is and what they stand for.
I figure they will find a way to justify leaving the Big 12 out pretty much no matter what happens.
We replace a ranking system that was 2/3 hundreds of voters and 1/3 computer average with a handful of obviously biased guys in a room that change criteria constantly.
Few noticed because going from two to four teams was such an improvement.
Spot on.
The old system wasn't broken in the way that it ranked the teams, it was broken in the way that it was used to only select 2 teams.
Give me 5 automatic bids for conference champions, then 3 at-larges based on highest BCS ranking of non-conference champions for our 8 team playoff.
Correct. Even looking at the Big 12 rep...it's Oklahoma's AD. How in the hell is he supposed to be unbiased with his input? I'm not bashing the guy personally, I'm just saying it's a flawed way of selecting the top 4 teams because people are human and have natural biases.
You can never discount the corruption factor of 12 guys in a private room making decisions even if the room is no longer a smoke filled one.
Objectively OU should be in over Utah. But the fact is OU has struggled against the good teams they've played, and they lost a game. That gives the committee all of the reasoning they need to do whatever they want with the 4th spot.
The Pac 12 has not been in the playoff for a long time. This is the committee's chance to put them back in. They have a committee for a reason. Why do people on here seem to think this doesn't matter? We need Utah to lose. It's that simple.

Bingo. We should have moved to a 4 team playoff keeping the BCS formula to identify those 4 teams.
I'm also on board with the 8 team playoff with 5 conference champs plus top 3 at large based on the BCS formula. Maybe even use BCS ranking to seed those 8.
The selection committee is bull ****.
