In the ESPN predictions referenced above, obviously Desmond Howard had the best.
Desmond Howard (Michigan Man) 1. FSU 2. Alabama 3. Oregon 4. TCU

I went with long shots(chop block and Wiscy) other wise Okst woulda been my only lost. Probably Gondo got all correct

Note that I believe regulation ended with a missed field goal by Wake Forest.
But still, absent that context, it's quite hilarious.
OSU has the worst resume of the three. Throw in the B1G factor and the human need for consistency - TCU or Baylor have that spot.
If money or 'late season flurry' overrides a 14 point home defeat to a GARBAGE Virginia Tech team then we've already lost as fans.
I mean come on:
Even FSU beat Wake Forest 43-3.
Devils advocate; after playing OSU, Virginia Tech lost 12 of their 22 starters to injury, that can't have helped the team much. But yeah, still a bad lose but add in all the other factors and the fact it was in week 2, 11 days into a new QB for OSU and OSU was missing multiple top NFL defensive talent and the entire line was freshman and sophomores and you can really muddy the waters. Again I will still agree, it was a bad loss.
Nope, picked GT, Wiscy and ECU I believe.

Not coincidentally, they played Georgia Tech in Week 4.

lol at that one guy with both TCU and Baylor
11 points/9 picks, ugh
(also not that it really matters, but who fills out the last 3 spots for the major consolation bowls? we have the two that are left out+Michigan State+Mississippi State+Boise (LOL))

Georgia Tech goes to the Orange, assuming Florida State is in the playoff, and assuming Georgia Tech maintains a ranking higher than Clemson or Louisville (and they likely will). Speculation is that even if Florida State is left out, Georgia Tech will stay in the NY6 mix.
- Oregon had 16 starters miss games due to injury? 12 missed multiple. They lost to a 10-win Arizona team down 4 offensive lineman (two all-americans).
- So the Heisman contending JT Barrett gets a pass for it being his second game? Don't teams make their biggest jump from game one to game two?
OSU also beat a shitty Penn State team in 2OT with a bunch gifts from the officials.
So the talk is that UGA will be in either the Belk or Music City Bowl.
In less than two weeks, from potentially being in the Playoff to a bowl game for teams that just barely made bowl eligibility.
Kill me, please.
Being a Georgia fan is so goddamned painful. Someone send a hooker to Mark Richt's hotel room or something. I hope all the fans fucking stay home.

Who cares? TCU barley beat a very, very shitty Kansas team

Is this where we have to remind people that Oregon lost to a team that just recently got beat by 38 points?

Oregon can honestly say there is no team on their schedule that they didn't beat this year. Thats why they're a lock for the playoffs with FSU. Alabama is a lock because they emerged victorious in the strongest conference division.
I think this is the CFB equivalent of dividing by zero.

It's gonna be awful in a year when we have an 8 team playoff and some 2 loss team gets an easy bracket and wins a title.
Vs. Teams ranked 43rd
Baylor: 0-1
TCU: 1-0
Bama: 1-0
Oregon: 0-0
FSU: 0-0
Ohio State: 0-0

Worse still because Nebraska is rumored to get the Music City Bowl... I do not want another bowl rematch. We have already played Georgia more times in the past 3 years than they have played Alabama... WTF!
You can go ahead and remove that Oklahoma win right now though.

how can we let these teams in when they aren't even willing to schedule proper competition?

1. Bama

Of course.
1. LOL Oklahoma
2. So, Oregon and Alabama are punished for played more teams in the top 20, and Alabama with 4 different teams to Oregon's 3 different teams.
3. LOL Oklahoma
4. LOL at Moving Goalposts, where top 25 adds a win for Oregon and Alabama (LSU and Utah)

I liked the BCS as means of selection, I just thought it needed 4 to 8 teams, not just 2. This year we have 6 teams deserving of a playoff spot, but only 4 spots are available. Last year we would have still had 6 deserving teams, but only 2 spots available.
They won't put UGA and Neb together again.

They better not. Either way, Nebraska's bowl game is going to be tough with pretty much the entirety of the coaching staff out of a job when the game is over, on top of an interim coach taking the reins during the game.

I wish I could say the same
Hey, keep your chin up, you will get your "cleaning house" moment eventually.
I am hoping we leave the season with a big bowl game win and carry that momentum with us to 2015. We have a tougher schedule next year (albeit not much tougher) and would love to win at least 9 next year, if not 10 or 11

Easiest way to decide who gets in out of TCU Baylor and OSU is look at who they lost to. TCU are the only team to lose to a top 6 team so they should be in.
What if we had 'flexible playoff' system?
Also, unless all 6 teams perform well in the bowl games, it's apparent this is all silly.
I think the preference of the BCS system of selection might be due to its automation. There's a sort of 'wild west' feel to the committee's mindset right now. Recall the BCS went through a bunch of changes through the process and we still ran into BS here and there.
With the subjectivity of week-to-week I feel like there's going to be even more swings with CFP. With that in mind, people can't be butthurt when TCU drops this week. The fact they were #3 this past week means absolutely nothing.
For my purposes, I merely meant having a playoff is better than a 2-team finale.

The lack of a true title game is going to hurt TCU and Baylor. Having a CCG matters and the Big 12 is dumb for not having one.
Arizona was #26 when they beat Oregon and #7 when they got beat by Oregon 51-13.
You have to go by final rankings, not 'when they beat them rankings'.
