Also the "games are more important without a play-off" argument is crap. I don't want to get into too much because we have argued it before and this is a College BB thread, but it didn't appear as though the OSU-Illinois game ended up being important. The two LSU losses weren't important. All the wins that Hawaii, Kansas, USC and Georgia had weren't important. The games would still be as important if not more under a play-off.

well, you are using a very unique year where everyone seemed to lose at the perfect time to create a quagmire. You know that.
2 years ago when Michigan played OSU, and were 1 vs 2, in a playoff format that game would have been absolutely useless. Same with the Kansas vs Mizzou game this year, at the time was critical, but in a playoff format would have been irrelevant.
