[QUOTE="Wexahu, post: 2431206, member: 72863"] It's really not that complicated. Knowing that the best teams don't always win every game all the time, they probably aren't going to have the four "best teams" in the field all the time. I get that, because wins and losses have to matter. Do I think Washington was one of the four best teams this past year? No, but I still think they should've been in the playoffs. And there's no doubt in my mind that Ohio State was one of the best four teams in 2015 (that team was absolutely loaded with elite talent and it was probably the "best" team they've had in 10 years) but they didn't get in either despite going 11-1 because they happened to lose at the last second to Michigan State in a game they didn't play well in and their schedule was such that they didn't have enough opportunities for good wins, similar to TCU and Baylor in 2014.. That's ok because that's how the system works. As for FSU, when you have a team that is the only undefeated team in the country from a P5 conference that played Florida and Notre Dame in OOC not make a 4-team playoff based on some reasoning that they weren't one of the four best, then the whole system breaks down. I can't believe any reasonable minded person doesn't understand that. If TCU happened to be Florida State that year and didn't get invited I am 100% sure every TCU fan would be absolutely livid, and rightly so. [/QUOTE]
