I see where you're coming from with your statements, but I think with the comparisons you've made you're comparing apples to oranges here. The Pats aren't a good example because they lost in the super bowl. Now if the Bucks lost in the NC game and the commitee still handed them the trophy that analogy would work.
Based on your comments what I'm gathering is that only conference, and to a greater extent division games matter in your eyes.
Yeah PSU beat OSU, but they also got their head kicked in by UM (a team OSU beat) and Pitt (a team that lost by almost 30 to Miami, so eluding to how good the wins Pitt had are annulled by some bad loses.) That's why they aren't in the playoffs.
I know we'll continue to disagree all day but I agree with the commitee in their thinking that a 1 loss team with no conference title and no 30 pt loses is a better playoff fit than PSU. I suppose the commitee thought that PSU's loss to Pitt/UM was a little more damning than OSU's loss to PSU.
And like I said before, this precedent regardless of if we like it or not has been set before. If we go back to the 2012 national title game do we try to put someone other than Bama in that game against LSU? Would you also say the eventual champ was not worthy because they had already lost to LSU and failed to win their conference?
