Let’s be honest here...

I agree but it’s not a playoff. It is a post season invitational bowl tournament that is MADE FOR TELEVISION.
There is no playoff that needs a committee to decide who is in. The NFL, NBA, MLB, Napcar, etc don’t play their regular season and then say let’s get a committee to decide who plays for the Championship. College Football is holding on to this archaic bowl system as long as they can that has so outlived its shelf date. That’s why ratings and attendance have been down for the last few years.
The only reason it’s still going on is ESPN still makes $$$$ from the bowls and has programming and it’s give announcers paychecks to talk about how GREAT the bowls are despite the stadium being empty and every MARQUI player opting out to get ready for the nfl. Plus the Bowls and al their Executive Committees still get overpaid $$$,$$$.$$ checks to put them on and call it a job for 1 day a year in the same stadium as last year. It’s a good con and they’ll play as long as people are stupid..
btw if I was seating the top 4 teams based on resume
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. A&M
4. Cincinnati
6 wins shouldn’t get you in. Indiana went 6-1 and only lost @ Ohio State by 7. Why no mention of them if 6 wins is enough? The reason is it’s a post season invitational tournament that’s made for tv.

Because both teams are much better than your team, Allen, but your friends spend all day and night trashing my alma mater, as if their school would beat the Buckeyes.
Had Ohio State played 10 games 8, 9 or even 10 games I can see them being in without question. But making a special exemption by the Big 10 changing their won guidelines they set up just so Ohio State could play in their CCG is a farce.
Notre Dame was crushed last night by Clemson. Texas A&M was crushed in 2nd game of the season.
Cincinnati 9-0 against who. Let's say had they played Notre Dame, Texas A&M or Ohio State in regular season odds are they have a 6-3 record.
Texas A&M
Notre Dame
Ohio State
All 3 can compete with Clemson and Alabama they possibly get crunched but they all 3 has talent enough to be competitive.
My beef with OSU is number of games thy have played and special treatment given to them because Big 10 knows the conference needs that extra money from Playoffs due to political Covid season.
Playoffs should be something earned and not given. A committee of pompous a-holes should not be the majority on the decision.
CFP likes the controversy as does ESPN.

Anybody with common sense knows WVU would have a hard time competing with any team in top 10 possibly top 15 this year or last year. My problem is the special treatment shown. I have no doubt Ohio State if it had played a regular season 13 games or if they had 9 or ten games would be in and possibly #2
I'm not saying that Ohio State is great, but no school other than Alabama and Clemson has proven over an almost full season that it is a clear playoff team, so leaving out an undefeated Power 5 conference champion that is ranked in the top 4 of virtually every poll/model would make no sense.
6 games is a midget football league schedule. Their own conference change it's own guidelines to insure Ohio State was in title game of Big 10. Who changes rules on the fly other than a bunch of liberals?
It's all about money and nothing else.
Your tears are delicious, T-Bone/Allen. Try to explain as to why a one-loss Big Ten champion Ohio State was left out of the CFP three years ago.
I don't give shit they're in I just don't like it that so called leaders make rule and then change it on fly. It shows Bias plain and Simple. Ohio State got left out that year because Committee and ESPN show even more Bias to the SEC. Either play 10 games every year and include 16 or don't have one at all.
Oklahoma gets all of the same love that Ohio State gets, but has nothing to show for it, T-Bone.
Dont dismiss half of the b1g is Quite subpar. Indiana had a good year, but when will that happen again? Then you have Rutgers, Maryland, a once a decade good team from Northwestern, Nebraska is no longer much more than a .5 team, Illinois, Purdue, facec it are not quality opponents. Michigan state and Iowa are average most years. Wisconsin is up.and down. Penn State , he. And Michigan has not been good since Rich Rod killed their program. So you have a conference more like the ACC than anything else. So a 6-0 . osu, has shown that their QB dont play well against decent teams, and an be beaten. N.D. took the easy route playing a dismal.ACC schedule. And was trashed by a good Clemson team, when their os healthy. Which is most teams. This is a pure political NCAA pick . Another who cares playoff.
Is there any other team in the country that could lose by 24 points and within a few days be named to the NATIONAL College Football Playoffs? It's a disgrace. Does the thrashing by Clemson mean nothing?
Notre Dame loses by 24 points and is named within days to the College Football Playoffs.
Texas A&M's only loss came in its 2nd game against #1 Alabama and the Aggies get left out. It's a puzzlement.

Don't dismiss the fact that your analysis makes little sense in a season in which Big 10 teams didn't play any OOC games. Another conference went 0-3 vs. the Sun Belt Conference, so you might want to pocket those stones... And, no, Ohio State hasn't PROVEN that it can be beaten, at least not at this point. 6-0 is its record.
Gee...maybe you should find a suckeye board to post on then.
Getting butthurt over what WVU fans say on a WVU message board is kind of stupid isnt it?
Nice diversion but the fact remains you are all butthurt over what WVU fans say on a WVU message board. Beyond stupid and once again...low IQ.
My problem with the B10 is they tried to get everyone to cancel their seasons. Now they are short on games and they get rewarded with one of the four playoff spots. Screw em. Let them play against their cohorts from the P12 in the Rose Bowl if Newsome will even let em play.
I normally let your bullshit pass. I speak for everyone when watching your ass get beat the fug down every year. Who can’t do that?
You seem to think I care about OU. I didn't like the fact they jumped OU to 6th. It's a joke. Ohio State played 6 games. Why schedule 12 every year if you can get in with 6.
Penis envy at its very worst. You must have loved January 2015, when Ohio State punked Saint Nick, then beat Oregon to win the first CFP National Championship, as you cried for TCU and Baylor.
Leave it to an outsider to turn a discussion into a trolling thread. So TVZ like.
I think TVZ and Osugrad might be the same person. Their conservations are too weird
assclown rambling on about something that happened five years ago that didn't involve WVU on a WVU message board...
He is just the best isn't he?
I wasn't talking to you, Piccolo Pete, but thanks for racing to your computer to dangle on my every word the first thing this morning. If you weren't so impoverished, then you'd see how many people on the Blue Lot are still crying about the fact that the National Champion Buckeyes were selected for the CFP instead of Baylor or TCU in 2014. Perhaps, you should use a small portion of your $600 stimulus check to subscribe to this excellent site, and stop freeloading for once in your pathetic life.
Ah...look everyone.....his itty, bitty feelings are still hurt because WVU fans said something mean on a message board about the suckeyes...
Posting on a free message board is freeloading? LMAO
Your shit gets dumber each day. I love it when your low IQ flows freely on this board for everyone to see.

Yeah, you're freeloading, band geek. But, your chronic unemployment is a good excuse until your stimulus check arrives, anyway.
Oh, look Mom, another freeloader, who comes out of the woodwork to pile on a subscriber. Prove your WVU fandom by subscribing to this excellent site or scram, Phillip.
He isnt that bright.
His insults include being in the band and saying that we are poor.
Very low IQ stuff as you can see.
He made a copy of a osu degree he found online, hung it on his wall and now claims to be a grad from that garbage university.
Take your pick, band dork: You're either poor or too cheap to pay a small fee to subscribe to this excellent web site. It's your choice...
^^^ Still too miserly to subscribe to this fine site, but pretends to be a WVU fan "forever?" More like, fraud forever.
When your comebacks are that I don't have a Blue Lot account...it might me best if you just shut up and leave the board...because that is the lamest non-sensical douche bag response anyone could give.
LMAO...you will be low IQ until the day you die.

The Blue Lot? Where WVU fans own your ass there too?
How many boards do you get humiliated on by WVU fans? Because that is two.
