Here's your final four…..

[Ty Cobb]

Alabama is from the south.
Florida St us from the south.
Oregon is from the north.
The powers that be do not want another southern school in the playoffs, which means TCU and BAYLOR take a screwing. Ohio St will get the one spot left.

[PhatMack19]

Ohio State is the #4 team. No big 12 team will make the playoff

[PhatMack19]

#1. Alabama vs #4 Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl

#2 Oregon vs #3 Florida State in the Rose Bowl

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

We gonna beat the hell outta FSU, this will be fun! 

[Holman]

So you would leave out the undefeated 27-0 defending national champs? Hmmm

I think a lot of folks on that committee where hoping for a GT W last night to make this easier.

 

Yup. It is about the 4 best teams. IMO both Baylor and TCU are better teams than FSU.

[PhatMack19]

How long until the Baylor lawsuit is announced?

[OldTimer]

Got into the conversation late:  But think that under the current situation both TCU and Baylor get hosed.  I think that not having a championship game could cause both to be left out of the picture.  And I also agree that I think both of  them deserve it more than FSU.

 

I agree the final four will likely be:

 

1. Alabama

2. Oregon

3. Ohio State

4. FSU

[Ty Cobb]

I'm with Joey Galloway, how can TCU be #3 just five days ago, win by 52 points and drop to #6?

Where are the bevoXII-II posters?
This an outrage!
Y'all were robbed!
I'm sure an Aggie pulled a fast one.
Right TxWhoops?

That would require you being relevant. If they were debating the 9th through 11th place teams in the SEC, the Aggies would have had some relevance. Nonetheless, I'm sure it is a great day in Aggieland. When moral victories are all you've had in 3 quarters of a century, I'm sure another one is cause to celebrate. Try not to chafe riding bama's jock 😂

I'm getting tired of hearing about not having a Big 12 Championship game. There was a Big 12 Championship Game. It was played on October 11th and Baylor won 61-58 PERIOD. The best two teams in the conference played.
Alabama and Missouri played in the SEC title...not the top two teams in the conference.
OSU and Wisconsin in Big 10 title game...Not the top two teams in the conference.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Meyer might need another offseason surgery after Saban rolls him again. 

[Peppermint Patty]

Ducks vs Tide

They got the game they wanted.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@JayBilas: College Football Playoff being referred to repeatedly as "the Final Four." Can't wait to see NCAA sue itself for trademark infringement.

 

 

 

 

:D

The Aggies are good at pulling things.

I could care less if the Big XII got screwed or not. i am a fan of a team, not a conference.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@DanBeebe: I HOPE THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF KNOWS THAT IF YOU MESS WITH THE BIG 12 YOULL GET THE HORNS

 

 

 

 

Its getting funny on Twitter lol

You can be as tired as you want to be - its not you that matters - I listened long and hard to all the input from all sources for most of the day yesterday and numerous times the lack of a (1) championship game and (2) lack of a quality opponent was mentioned.  But will that affect the actual voters - who knows - I unfortunately think that it may.

 

Fact is that everybody in the hunt for the final 4 played a tough opponent yesterday - with the exception of the TCU.  You need to remember I am for TCU being included but I do not think the Big 12 helped them this time around.

 

And Sorry Baylor can scream all it wants to but it will be looking in like all but 4 teams.

 

As I have stated numerous times in the past - the 4 team system will never "absolutely" decide an undisputed champion - you need to have at least 16 teams in if that is what you want any lesser amount will lead to this type of discussion at the end of the year.

@max_olson: Art Briles' final coaches poll vote: 

1. Florida St

2. Oregon

3. Baylor

4. Alabama

5. TCU

6. Ohio St

 

 

 

:D

[Peppermint Patty]

2 loss Miss St and 3 loss Ole Miss climb 3 spots in the final poll without playing a game and without playing in a conference championship.

TCU beats a team by 50+ and drops 3 spots.

Makes perfect sense.

WTF!?

That happens when teams in front of you lose. Ole Miss is #9 with 3 losses. Everyone below them has 3 or more losses as well.

Is this your first time seeing polls or do you just not understand how they work?

@DavidSmoak: Briles on committee, "only one connected is Condoleza Rice who was born in Alabama and when Archie Manning left, I said we're in trouble."

I just watched that. The Committe is prejudiced against the South according to Art.

[PhatMack19]

Gary Patterson came off much better in his interview. He didn't sound like a whiny little B like Art.

:D

About how I would have voted. However, it is interesting that head to head is the end all, be all for Art Briles now. Cause in 2008, he voted for OU ahead of Texas which sent the Sooners to the MNC game.
