#1 Michigan vs #4 Ohio State
#2 Georgia vs #3 Alabama (or flip them if it makes you feel better)
Those are the 4 best teams in the country, imo and that would give us a great "playoff".
But since it is never actually the 4 best teams, it will depend on the whims of a handful of voters.
Meaning we might get an overrated Pac 10 12 9 team, somebody's little sister from the ACC. And Notre Dame.
I can't wait until this nonsense is out the door next year.
