Agreed it is tough to put a team in the playoff if they don't win the conference but if only conference championships matter then the early season games are meaningless. An eight team playoff is needed big time. Maybe they could use 4 of the pre-Chirstmas bowl games as quarter finals?

I agree with this...but here is the issue.
Penn State beat OSU, has a very similar schedule other than that OK game, and actually has a chance to win the conference should they win today.
How can anyone justify putting OSU in ahead of them?
Based on what? Rankings again? If so...just do away with the playoff as it has changed absolutely nothing and is but a giant scam.
I dont know, many neanderthals were dragged into a playoff system kicking and screaming saying that it makes regular season games meaningless, which overall is poppycock, but in specific instances quite true.
At any rate...love the chaos myself.
