Also, remember that the ACC may try and include the top two teams and do away with division championships.

The College Football Playoff will be different than a lot of people are

There will be so much campaigning and arguing

yeah the more I think about it the easier it is to see the b12 being left out

8/28/14 1:29pm

The last weekend, the committee will see SEC, P12, B1G, and ACC champ games

However, some of those CCG will also feature an unranked team (6-6 UCLA?)

When was the last time BYU ran the table or finished top 5?

BYU would have had a shot in 2001 and 1996 - but likely would not have made it.

BYU was ranked #7 at the end of the 1996 regular season. They would have had

BYU was #5 on December 9, 1996

Good catch. I was looking at the 2nd to last poll. At #5, BYU would have had an

Agree.

I think an expanded playoff would probably be worse for BYU

8/28/14 1:40pm

Look at past rankings. Most of the time, there are only 3-5 1 loss teams.

8/28/14 1:47pm

But the chances of an undefeated BYU team with 3-5 good P5 opponents on the

Are people really expecting 4 conference champs?

boscatar

8/28/14 1:32pm

Many, many media outlets have been speculating about which conference

8/28/14 1:34pm

Which is most likely to be left out is probably more accurate

BYUFam1

8/28/14 1:49pm

Sometimes. Obviously, there are references to both. As you will notice, I

Still better than the BCS, but 8 will be better still

It will take a couple of conferences being consistently shut out and raising a

No, they'll see how much money they can make, and will switch.

Not different than I expect

BYUFam1

8/28/14 1:42pm

Not sure you're correct here. Top 4 rated teams according to whom?

8/28/14 1:52pm

Exactly. With a historical comparison, I think you have to look at wins and

Nobody said it would jive with the AP poll

BYUFam1

8/28/14 1:58pm

Thanks for the correction. Stupid of them to be releasing their ranking before

I generally agree with your point
