I can't wait! We are finally closer to determining a true champion on the field.
The details of the selection committee haven't been ironed out, but hopefully it will be something equitable.

There are a few sports writers that know what they are doing, but they are few and far between.
When does OSU come off probation? I am betting they will be in contention most years. I'd rather have an 8 or 16 team playoff, but this is certainly an improvement over the BCS.

Team number 5 was better!.........
Don't go to 8. The BCS is a beautiful thing. Any more than 4 Mae the regular season shit. Now every game is still a payoff game.
That's a bogus argument and it's been put to bed. The regular season is going to be all about winning your conference now and that's the way it oughta be. That's why I think you see further consolidation of conferences. Eventually we'll have a 8 team playoff with 6 conference champs and two at large bids to make the lesser conferences happy. That will put the focus where it should always be. Winning your conference. The BCS marginlizes conference play. Lose two games but win your conference? Who cares, you're out of the BCS Championship picture. Now winning your conference is going to mean something.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
