Reply to "College Football Playoff 2014"

My main reactions to Ohio State's performance last night:

1. Wow! What an assemblage of power, size, speed, and skill everywhere on the field in every phase of the game. Ohio State is a truly impressive team that earned its championship by dismantling the top two seeds.

2. How close did we come to not seeing this champion even get into the playoff? How would TCU have fared? Expanding the playoff to eight teams would nearly eliminate the possibility of leaving out the best team.

3. The next time someone says an otherwise impressive team is unworthy of playoff consideration because of an early season non-conference loss to an undistinguished team, I will probably mention Ohio State's loss to Virginia Tech.

4. Didn't Urban Meyer say earlier in the year that his team was a year away from contending? Does this mean they'll be better next year?
