Are all the bowls being announced at 12:30 tomorrow, or just the New Years 6?

Congrats FSU on another ACC title.
As a Clemson fan I am already anxious for next year's game.
Gotta respect GA Tech for their game tonight. They made it much closer than most people expected.
Have you been watching football the last month? The reason FSU is dropping because everygame has been like this.

So yeah... gonna go with this again.

WVU finished 6th in the Big 12. Came within 10 points of Alabama may be their most impressive loss. lol
They think they're getting into the playoffs, it's kinda cute.
top 4 at 12:30. rest at 3 iirc.
think it's 12:30 for 1-4, 2 hours later we'll get the New Years 6, and then 4-6 hours later we'll get everything else.

Again, the season is 14 weeks long, not 1. You can't just forget about everything that led to where we are today. Ohio State lost at home against a putrid VTech team - easily the worst loss of any team in contention for a playoff spot, and it took them until November to start looking like a playoff team.

Oh no, I just meant that most people have not given Ga Tech the credit they deserved. They crushed Clemson, beat UGA, and took FSU to the final minute. That is a pretty damn good season.

I know. Being a Big XII guy, we just knew this "one true champion" junk would bite us in the end. I would love to see TCU and Oregon go at it though.
OSU's two good wins are better than TCU's and they have one more win overall. The B12 may be better, but it's not that much better. It's nothing special outside of three teams. The fact that TCU is already third means little. You guys have to stop treating the playoff rankings like the AP poll.
I don't agree with this at all. I don't like Winston at all, but this thread has been up front about discussing his issues and the investigation. Right now though, its about the playoffs, so if he wants to disrupt that by trying to antagonize the people posting here, I think that crap needs to be stopped.

there's really a push for a postseason playoff system w/ byes?
not enough weeks to do this. Between the CCG and the bowls, I believe there are finals. Go any further than middle January, and football becomes a 2 semester sport, and the schools won't let that happen.

This is pretty much what it comes down to. I'd be more surprised if they're not #4 now.

Honestly as much as I hate the SEC I wish Miss State would have beaten Ole Miss so they could have been the clear 4 vs arguing else where.

considering where the early bowl games are located on the schedule, I highly doubt there isn't room for an 8 team playoff

I completely disagree with that and I'm not even an OSU fan. They may have started slow in each win, but damn near each week they end up putting up a slew of unanswered points to win.
And... Oh Stave...
Ayup, but you're making a selective argument, tOSU did win one more game than TCU, and to the commite it matters, as it's one more chance that any team has of getting 2012 Okie stated.
Isn't the committee responsible for picking the best 4 teams each week? Not necessarily the best 4 over the course of the season?
TCU will be on the outside looking in. We just demolished a top 15 team with our 3rd string qb. The committee said they would be looking closely at our game to see how our qb handled the pressure. Clearly we are still a very good team.
Although, I'm not sure why we need a controversy for the honor of losing to Alabama anyway.

Logically, with TCU at 3, it would make no sense to drop them out. None. Extra game, conference championship, head-to-head, none of that matters. They were 3, they didn't do anything to not appear deserving of that ranking. If they were a legitimate 3 last week, they should be in. It would be absolutely ridiculous for them not to be.
The real question should be at 4. Did Florida State do enough to stay there. Setting aside that I think it would be ridiculous for an undefeated team that is also the defending national champion to be left out, the fact is they were 4 so they would be the first team that should be reviewed for being jumped. They beat a decent Georgia Tech team in a close game, and they haven't lost all year. Ohio State crushed Wisconsin (but has a loss), and Baylor beat a good Kansas State team (and also has a loss).
If the committee is the least bit consistent, TCU should be in, and Florida State should be the team sweating a little bit (as ridiculous as I find it, but hey, I'm a fan).

I mean the argument shouldn't even be against TCU.
TCU's best win is what KSU who basically has beat 0 good teams all year. OU was proven to be subpar that win is nothing now.
Baylor beat TCU but had the worst OOC schedule of all.
I honestly don't know.
KSU hasn't proved anything. TCU could finish with 0 wins vs top 25.

I heard Pete Thamel blast the commitee and ESPN really hard this morning, this is a nightmare scenario for him.

this is where I see it going, and staying. More money for bowls and schools, still (probably) feasible to get the season done by the first week of January. 6 teams w/ a bye for the top 2 is just mindfuck.jpg to me. As a fan, why would you want that?
Your QB(s) have shown the ability to throw the deep ball. Thus you have a very good chance of beating us as our CBs jack each other off while they watch the ball sail over their head to your receiver.

Committee has previously said a CCG is weighted more by them. I think they slap the Big XII tomorrow.
Top 4 will be Bama, Oregon, FSU, Ohio St.
Baylor 5, TCU 6.

If that mattered as much as you say, then OSU wouldn't be No. 5 right now.

It's HILARIOUS to me that OSU is like 35-3 under Meyer and FSU has won like 30 games in a row but some how, some way, both teams "blow" if you ask the average cfb fan. It's things like this that make me want to back off a bit and just enjoy football and not pay any attention to the nonsense meta-commentary.

Finally something we all agree on.
FSU was never in jeopardy as long as they won. Its always been TCUs spot up for grabs and rightfully so.
Here's my B1G impressions as a newbie.
Elite-tOSU, just completely destroyed us and set us program back for a few weeks, by far the best team in conference.
Pretty good-MSU just not up to Meyer's class
Good-Wisconsin/Nebraska/Minnesota-I know tOSU fans were bitching about Jerry Kill getting that coaching award, but he really coached that team up
Whatever Tier-The rest.

"You people." Where have I talked down any team's schedule?
That's not true at all. I haven't watched a lot of Wisconsin ball, but my opinion of them hasn't changed since I saw their LSU game. They had no QB then. They have no QB now. They're a good team because Gordon's a hell of a player, but if you stop him, what's Wisconsin going to do? Throw the ball?
