RE: OT: First College Playoff shaping up to be a mess
Imagine the ratings if MSU faced off against Ole Miss for the NC... The playoff would be done before it even started

Unfortunately, that can't happen because of the Egg Bowl. Loser will be done for CFP purposes. If either makes it thru the SEC Champ Game; there will be some mad TV & CARTEL EXECS ringing their collective HANDS. I've heard for three yeas that MT could have had Bo Wallace (Ole Miss QB) and did not offer him a schollie!@#$%^ Hope it's not true.

With all due respect, remember 2011?(LSU & alabama?)2007 when Ohio Stink lost a conference game at home to unranked Illinois and still got to play for their mythical championship? What year was it that Oklahoma got mauled in the conference title game by Kansas State (52-20) and they were still ordained worthy to play for the same mythical title that year, without even winning their conference?!
Wasn't that a joke? Proves that this system is an even bigger joke than the BCS, it's pretty much "BCS 2.0" they're just saving a spot for two more of their "cartel" members in the insidious 5 conferences. What about the other remaining Division 1A Conferences? Why are they being excluded? How can this be a NATIONAL championship playoff when it is anything but national?!
Every other division has the right idea, but not these crooked, commercialized, corporate & politically corrupt scumbags. 8 teams at best, would have been more acceptable than this...I want it to blow up in their greedy, myopic faces! Until they implement a format indicative and inclusive of all Division 1A/FBS Conferences, damn this hand-picked, backroom dealing crap!

RE: OT: First College Playoff shaping up to be a mess
well... The only thing I like about having a four team playoff is that the "selection sunday show" is going to go by pretty damn fast.
"Okay lets go out to midwest regional where our number one overall seed is ___________ . Now lets go out to the west regional where our second number 1 seed is _________ ......"

Guessing no less than an hour on the selection show, eh? You know how melodramatic the sports media is when it comes to the so-called "Power" conferences. Soon as they put 2 teams from the SEC in this crock, the ones left out are going to with disgust. For no other reason other than general principle, I want Notre Dame "bounced" with one loss, just to see Lou Holtz have his patented , that by itself would be worth the price of admission, with Mark May standing across from him at him!

I think a better word for this egg-heads from the Pissy Five is Cabal. I think it describes them to a TEE. Here let me show you:
Cartel-1.international syndicate or trust of commercial enterprises formed to establish a monopoly by controlling prices and production.
Cabal-1.small group of people secretly united to advance themselves or their aims by scheming and intrigue, to conspire.

Oh, by the way, in our school's newspaper (Kaleidoscope) I submitted an editorial on this very topic, I was told it was turned over to the Editor-In-Chief but not clear on whether it will be posted online and printed yet, when it does, I'll share with all concerned...Appreciate y'all, you're so much fun to dialogue with...
