3 undeserving teams? Seriously? Clemson has earned it, Ohio St has earned it. Only Washington is questionable due to their strength of schedule.
Just because Bama looks unbeatable doesn't mean the playoffs are a waste of time. Said the same thing about a lot of other teams on a lot of other occasions, including the grey cup yesterday.
On a more interesting note, pretty much every article and source I'm reading has OSU with a good shot at making the playoff. Some are saying they are an outright lock and that one of PSU or Washington will be left on the outside looking in.
I don't want to see conference championships made completely irrelevant, but this is the right decision. Penn State is a two loss team who lost by 40 points to Michigan. However if they beat Wisconsin convincingly and Washington barely squeaks by in their championship I would have no problem seeing two B10 teams make it.
