4 is enough

They have plenty of time for 8 team playoffs. The 5 major conference champs and 3 at large. 

Sort of OT, But Jason, did you see on Sunday morning when David Pollack accused Mark May of hating the Buckeyes? Classic. Finally.

Penn State beat OSU and won the conference. Tough to say they shouldn't be in. 

We could have only one undefeated team at the end of the year and they might not have won the national championship. Tough to say they shouldn't be in. 

4 isn't enough. 

Here's the thing though. Wherever we set the cutoff there will always be 1 more team that thinks it's deserving that gets left out. Four is fine.

I did not.  I wish I had.

Should be the conference winner of the P5 and 3 at large.

Should be the best teams.  Whether it's 4 or 8, regardless of conference winners.

Those 8 would probably be the best teams anyways.

Probably, but not always.  This year for example, I do not think Oklahoma is one of the 8 best teams in the country.  (Even though the committee disagrees with me.  I think USC is better.)
