Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 280935, member: 636"] If the Delany proposal were in effect for last year it would have been #1 LSU vs #5 Oregon #2 Alabama vs #3 Okla St Stanford shouldn't be in a playoff when Oregon beat them during the regular season especially with the Ducks also winning the Pac-12 championship game. It takes away from the conference championship games, imho. The problem I see now with Delany's proposal is that if ND finishes #1, but four other conference champions finish between #2 through #6, then ND isn't in the playoff, which also wouldn't be right. I'm back to my original compromise which is that you take the Top 3 conference champions and then either the fourth ranked conference champion or an at-large selection if they are 'x' spots ahead of the fourth ranked champion in the rankings. The value of 'x' still to be determined but it shouldn't be less than 3 and no more than 5, so I think 4 would be perfect. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
