Awesome conversation about college brand impact on decision for the playoff committee. Baylor and TCU would have drawn considerably lower ratings in the postseason games and that's just a reality. Art Briles was on the show saying his team is a young brand, so they are continually forced to win in dominant fashion. He seemed a little salty, but who wouldn't be in his position?

I'm sorry Art, but there was just no way the committee was going to NOT make Ohio State play Alabama once they saw that opportunity. 

Golic was advocating for an 8-team playoff, but said that obviously even more teams would feel like snubs if you include that many. No matter how you structure it, somebody's going to be mad. Golic also said though that if you truly have 8 teams that are championship contenders that it would simply be good for football. Hard to argue there. 

I say get real comfortable with a 4 team playoff. Too many variables working against a restructuring.
