After Big10 Championship game, Scott Van Pelt immediately....

With as much money they've paid for the rights to the CFP, ESPN probably wishes they could tell the committee who to select as that 4th team! Based off of last year's title game, a Clemson-Alabama semifinal at the Sugar Bowl would be a ratings bonanza for them!
 
Worst nightmare for playoff committee is to leave out either Bama or OSU. They leave out OSU and large factions of the West Coast with no Pac12 and B1G footprint do not care about the CFP. It becomes a regional playoff.

I'm not about to give ESPN my eyeballs if 2 SEC teams are in.

If you go by that premise, shouldn't Notre Lame be in?;)

You can always root for OK and their dbag qb, or clem,the fondlers & butt pokers.

So many good choices!! :(
 
Should be the four highest ranked conference champions. Bama lost to Auburn which got beat by Georgia. If anything, Auburn should be in before Bama but we all know that is not going to happen. Hate Bama and Satan.

Good point. With Alabama, you'd have schools from 3 states that touch one another with Georgia in the middle, and Oklahoma only has 2 states between it and Alabama.
 
I wont be watching to CFP this year. With the PAC and B1G out as well as all 4 teams that will be in it I completely dislike I couldn"t care less about it. I live out here in PAC land and nobody is really talking about all the drama. Could be a low ratings year.

He said that he’ll give equal time to Urban but he was a little busy right after the game. Now he’s on. You hate SVP or what?

Yeah I'm not a SVP fan, or much of an ESPN fan for that matter. He did give Urban time later though, so that was good.
 
OSU’s 4th best Win, in Ann Arbor was as good or better than any of Alabama’s wins. OSU also beat MSU, Penn St & Wisconsin.

If Alabama didn’t get to dodge Georgia, they would have a 2nd loss. Instead they played Mercer.

Anyone think Alabama beats Georgia this year?

You cannot have 2 SEC schools in the final 4. Leaving both th Pac12 and B1G out would do serious damage to the CFP.

Palmer and Galloway didn't get the memo. They both said OSU more deserving.
