It really takes the fun out of it, when the playoff algorithm becomes 1.) first and foremost the largest fan bases, then 2.) who also have good teams. They really need to do something to improve the CFB playoffs.

BCS busters and teams like Cincy are great it creates a lot of buzz and hype for the media. Clemson isn't a blue blood or a little sister of the poor they're a program with a great amount of success historically from the seventies similar to Auburn. As a buckeye fan I hate the term blue blood because it sort of means like we only have the past to reminisce about (cough cough Notre Dame, Texas, USC, Miami, Tennessee, Nebraska) in my eyes you're great, good, average, below average, and shitty. Objectively, that decision came down to who the committee had more confidence in.

The game that sealed it for Ohio State was the big ten championship when they tar and feathered Wisconsin was the tone that they believed that they deserved to be in.

    I was just talking about this one the other day. TCU and Baylor both played an impressive season and should have been given a shot at the playoffs. Sadly the B12 didn't have a conference championship and screwed both teams. But even if the B12 would have had a conference championship that year I have a feeling the B12 would have been left out. Baylor and TCU are both to small. Hell when I went to the B12 championship between OU and Baylor in 2019 the Baylor fans didn't even come close to filling up the bottom half of their side of the stadium. Where as OU fans took up nearly 3/4 of the place. But on their sideline there were a lot of empty seats. So I doubt a school like Baylor will ever be given a chance at the playoff until they make it a true playoff.

    Playoff in 2014: "Early season struggles are forgivable. Oh, and you need to win an outright conference title game to make the playoff. So that's why Ohio State got in over TCU and Baylor"
    Playoff in 2016: "Just because Penn State beat Ohio State head-to-head and won the Big Ten championship game doesn't mean they should get in. They struggled early in the season and we can't overlook that, even if they were dealing with a ton of injuries. Besides, Urban Meyer is our special boy and our contract with the Buckeyes doesn't expire for another year."
    You hit the nail on the head, it's all about branding. TCU and Baylor were both more deserving of making the playoff in 2014 than Ohio State, but the Buckeyes are a bigger brand. Same thing happened in 2016. Would love to see an 8 team playoff because that might rectify the issue, but even then, who knows?

Instead of sticking up for one of the two schools, they diluted the value of their conference title by splitting it up and this allowed Ohio State to overtake them. The TCU/Baylor debacle is the main reason the Big 12 now plays a championship game to determine an outright conference champion.

      Yeah and Ohio State lost to 7-6 Virginia Tech that year by 17 at home, yet miraculously jumped TCU out

      @@justinalley3399 No it wasn’t. And interesting how you make that argument, yet the same logic could apply to TCU playing Baylor
      Let’s not forget Ohio State beat a 7-6 Penn State in 2OT or beat a 8-5 Minnesota by 7.

    Wisconsin was actually favored and OSU won by 59... TCU also only beat Kansas by like 5 points, In my opinion that's why they were left out

    I do agree that the committee is biased towards the bigger brands. But I do think the playoff should stay at 4 teams tho

    This just showed that name is more important than resume. TCU had an objectively better resume in 2014. The college football playoff is actually ruining college football at this point.

    Great videos, but I wish you posted the stats in the videos instead of just saying them.
