Who's your top 4 (Playoff) college teams?

[paceram]

I am sure my opinion will be different from everyone else!

1) FSU - OK, I admit that I am a Seminole Fan but I still think being undefeated should keep them
#1 and it is not like they had weak non-conference opponents.
2) Alabama - I was sure hoping Auburn would beat them so FSU wouldn't have to play them!
3) Oregon - I am going to take a wild guess (just kidding!) that Oregon has the next Heismant winner!
4) Ohio State - Pretty impressive game yesterday especially considering they were down to their
3rd string QB (who looked pretty good!)

CORRECTION (#1) - Should HAD kept them #1!

 

[Athos]

Bama
Oregon
Ohio State
TCU

I don't want overrated FSU in there. They should have lost last night had the GT QB not thrown a whimper to a wide open WR with green pasture in front of him.

That team is going to get clobbered by a real O for yet another boring game.

By the way, THIS is exactly why 4 teams is such bullshit. A perfect 8 (like the elite 8 for BB) is the perfect # of teams.

Otherwise you have Baylor who deserves to be in there, MSU who could be there, MSST, etc.

4 teams......Isn't a playoff. It's last year, just with 2 more teams.

Alabama
Oregon
Ohio State
Florida State-only because they are undefeated. But because they just seem to squeak by so many times I have a hard time putting them in the top four

 

[Rams0307]

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. FSU
4. Ohio St

That's who I think will get in. Alabama will become National Champion, IMO.

This.

I want to see an Alabama/Oregon championship game.

Another reason to go to 8 teams is it adds another week of games, which I'd like to see at max two weeks after the conference finals. One of the many problems with the old bowl system and which is being repeated this year is that the teams that are playing in the biggest games won't play for over three weeks. You can't expect teams to be playing at a high level with that much idle time.

I'm hesitant to want to see that. Oregon is traditionally reduced to a lot of window-dressing when they play physical teams. That may just be the nature of any team vs. Alabama, so I guess we'll see if this year's incarnation of the Ducks is any different.

 

[den-the-coach]

1. Alabama
2. Florida State (Undefeated Matters)
3. Oregon
4. Ohio State

Scares me to play Alabama especially without Barrett, but time to punch the SEC Bully right in the mouth! Hopefully he falls and doesn't punch back.

Nailed the first part.

 

[Athos]

And thus the BS of 4 teams.

Totally thought Baylor and TCU deserving at least as much as OSU.

The BS was not having a conference championship. One of them would have had a far better chance, then.

 

[Memphis Ram]

Oops. Wrong thread.

True, but still. 4 teams is dumb.

 

[FRO]

True, but still. 4 teams is dumb.

It's a start and is 1 million times better than the old way. I want a 8 team playoff.

 

[Memphis Ram]

4 teams. 6 teams. 8 teams. Someone will always be left out.

 

[FRO]

4 teams. 6 teams. 8 teams. Someone will always be left out.

Totally agree. I'm happy we have something though. The old system was horrid.

 

[Athos]

4 teams. 6 teams. 8 teams. Someone will always be left out.

Disagree. 8 teams will cut it off at 2 losses overall for the most part. Anything more is 3 losses which is too much. 8 is the perfect # in my eyes.

This year perhaps. But, last year weren't there about 12-15 two loss teams.

 

[Win1-4Ned]

One other thing 8 does is guarantee that the BCS conferences will all likely have a representative. Since those conferences do what they can to avoid playing each other during the season, it's very difficult to get a true read on who are the best teams. The SEC cannibalizes itself during the season, if Alabama had lost yesterday, could you imagine a playoff without an SEC team? If I wasn't a Missouri fan, I'd probably feel a little bad for the Big 12 screwing itself and TCU and Baylor in the process.
