We went from "This year we might need 12 teams to sort it out" to "I'm not sure there are 6 teams deserving at a shot" real fast with the last week.
My top 12 going into the final week:
1) Oregon
2) Ohio State
3) Texas
4) Notre Dame
5) Georgia
6) Penn State
7) Tennessee
8) Miami
9) SMU
10) Boise St.
11) Indiana
12) Alabama
Gets real murky after 8 IMO.
Ideal playoff would be 6 teams. SEC and B1G champs get byes. 2nd best from each conference automatically plays on the"other side" to avoid playing same team 3x until the finals. Give the next best conference champ a spot.
1) Oregon/Ohio State
4) Notre Dame vs. 5) Georgia/Texas
2) Georgia/Texas
3) Oregon/Ohio State vs. 6) Miami/SMU
What a beautiful bracket it would be.
Instead we will get:
1) Ohio State/Oregon
8) PSU vs. Tennnessee
4) Boise vs.
5) Ohio State/Oregon vs. 12) ASU/ISU/BYU/CU
3) Miami/SMU
6) Notre Dame vs. 11) Alabama?
2) Texas/Georgia
7) Texas/Georgia
10) Indiana
