In hindsight, if VT had won against Clemson, Clemson would have been left

out of the CFP. Clemson should have been in regardless as the OSU game proved. Hope Clemson beats Bama so it will change the perception of the ACC. There is an argument to be made that the ACC is the best football conference in America.

Shouldn't be embarrassed. Vegas had OSU #2 as well. -- chuckd4vt 01/10/2017 4:52PM

Oregon beat FSU by 39 in the 2014 semifinal - it happens ** -- lawhokie 01/18/2017 12:22PM

The "committee" should disband 2 polls + 12 computer models to pick 4 teams -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 01/10/2017 08:22AM

Somehow I doubt the committee will ever admit embarrassment ** -- WestyHokie 01/09/2017 2:10PM

It's a fallacy to think OSU should't have gotten in due to the bowl results -- Maroon Baboon 01/08/2017 01:09AM

Do you think if OSU had 2 loses but beat PSU late & won the conference... -- Stech 01/09/2017 7:16PM

I have no idea. These committees seem to change what they emphasize... -- Maroon Baboon 01/10/2017 9:58PM

Per the criteria, coin flips go to conf. champs. it's easy to make a case -- daveinop 01/08/2017 12:52PM

I had UW #3 because they were a conference champ and had just one loss. -- Maroon Baboon 01/08/2017 7:55PM

Schedules were not comparable. OSU>UW ** -- chuckd4vt 01/09/2017 10:31AM

OSU=B1G East Co-runner up. -- Maroon Baboon 01/09/2017 2:53PM

Well, many other teams played Bama closer than Washington. -- chuckd4vt 01/09/2017 5:02PM

tOSU tied PSU with an 8-1 record. They lost on the tie breaker.** -- Lead Dog 01/09/2017 4:36PM

Ohio State was 2nd in composite computer ranking -- Colonel Jessup 01/08/2017 4:22PM

Being 2nd or 3rd in every computer rank is certainly what they had going -- daveinop 01/09/2017 11:04AM

Pretty sure Vegas had OSU pegged as 2nd. -- chuckd4vt 01/10/2017 10:53AM

Clearly they were. Can't fault committee for seeing what everyone else saw. -- chuckd4vt 01/10/2017 5:04PM

I fault the Committee for not following their own protocol. -- daveinop 01/10/2017 5:48PM

They did follow their own protocol. ** -- reestuart 01/10/2017 5:57PM

Ummm...selectively...perhaps. -- daveinop 01/13/2017 4:45PM

Guess the B10 was extremely overrated. ** -- EDGEMAN 01/10/2017 4:54PM

You broke our agreement ** -- daveinop 01/10/2017 1:29PM

Your agreement to not be a jerk? I offered a valid point. -- chuckd4vt 01/10/2017 1:36PM

Not sure how much they used computer rankings but they are a good guide -- Colonel Jessup 01/09/2017 12:14PM

It would not surprise me if the Committee wasn't consistent in using -- VTHokie2000 01/09/2017 11:40AM
