[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1198380, member: 18945"] How does it eliminate ND, Army and the other conferences? The committee has never said the Big Playoff 4 have to come from the major conferences-ever--just that being conference champion would be "part" of their consideration. Tho I didn't think so at first, and during most of this season, More and more, I am beginning to believe all the social media talk about a "certain" conference wanting this playoff system to give it special consideration based on it's historical "place in college football" and this same conference is scared to death they might not be able to put more than one (or even 2) in to the playoffs. Also beginning to think that same conference wants more than one of it's members in to increase the odds that one of it's members will be able to survive the playoff--safety in #s. Like I said, I can live with the 4 teams that ended up 2014's Top Four and I understand the committee's thinking and also understood it's week to week rankings--they ranked them each week, according to the time frame in question, by answering one or two simple questions--"who is best right now?--If the playoffs were to start this week--who are the best 4 teams?
