[QUOTE="toadallytexan, post: 1112564, member: 1164"] I guess, since this post was NOT about how best to pick the top eight teams; but rather, was how to select four -- and ONLY four -- teams, then I must emphasize that no team who did not win its conference championship has any business being considered. Since this scenario is not given to us as a true playoff, but only as a plus-one, or a FIRST STEP TOWARDS a playoff, then we must let the conference games constitute the de facto first stage of a playoff. Maybe this is elitist, maybe not...In 2010, TCU was in the top four going into the BCS bowl games, this despite coming from the lower regarded MWC conference. The opportunity to go on and play Auburn for the NC, following the 2010 season would not have been precluded by our confernce affilliation had there been a plus-one as they are now considering. I'm not sure how ND gets access to the NC game, however, unless you also made an exception to winning your conference so that any independent who was ranked in the top four could be considered for the plus-one scheme.
