perfect and here is why... The goal of a playoff (size wise) is to ensure that the best team in the country at least makes it in. With a 4 team playoff there's a real risk that the best team in the country gets left out. 2 of OSU/TCU/Baylor are going to get left home this year and 1 of those teams could definitely be the best team in the country this year. If you expand the playoff to 8 teams the odds that the best team in the country makes the playoff goes up astronomically. It's just very, very unlikely that teams sitting there in those 9 and 10 spots are the best in the country. Does anyone really still think that Miss St is the best team in the country. Ole Miss? Wisc? UGA? Mizzou? UCLA? Yea, me either.

I really think we are going to need to go to 8. You eliminate what happened this year. You lose 2 you have no excuse.

Very good argument I heard today though that there will just be controversy on the 9th team... And honestly if your ranked 8th do you really deserve a shot at a national title? I think 6 is perfect ... Power 5 conference winners and an at large

I don't think you have a bye... If you do take away that one freakin terrible game everyone plays or just give the top two seeds a bye, hell I don't know but I just don't agree with 8 I mean if ur 8 th with two losses I don't think u deserve a shot at it IMO

in all honesty,the Big12 should be screwed over for 1 reason

their weenie conference commish refused to crown a champion, instead declaring "co-champions" to both.
So the 4 REAL champions should make the playoff, and the Big 12 needs to add more teams and play a 13th game.

The head-to-head tie breaker was outlined before this season started. Then they back down and declare "co-champs"? Come on, man.

Here is what the big 12 lists as there tie breaker rules
Tiebreaker Procedures
Effective June 2014
The following procedure will determine the Big 12 Conference representative to the Sugar Bowl (or alternate College Football Playoff game when the Sugar Bowl is a semifinal) in the event of a first-place or alternate place tie (for the avoidance of doubt, only Conference records will be used throughout the process):
If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 4 will be followed until a determination is made. Once a team has been eliminated from a multi-team comparison, it is dropped from further comparisons. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed team(s) in the conference (4, 5 and 6….).
The highest ranked team in the first College Football Playoff poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative unless the two highest ranked tied teams are ranked within one spot of the other in the College Football Playoff poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the College Football Playoff.
The representative will be chosen by draw.
Although this was tweeted from there conference
#Big12Insider Keep in mind that policies/rules (like co-champions, tiebreaker) are decided in votes by Big 12 schools, not Big 12 office.
I'm soooo confused!

I never believed the Big 12 would be represented in the playoffs without a CCG.
