How the College Football Playoff Committee got it wrong, but not because of Washington
Go to 8 teams. All power 5 champs + 2 at-large + 1 G5 make the playoff. The quarterfinals take place one week after conference championships and the top 4 seeds get home field. The top 4 seeds must also be conference champions. After the quarterfinals, the semifinals would work like they do now.
The matchups for this year would be:
8 Western Michigan @ 1 Alabama
7 Oklahoma @ 2 Clemson
6 Michigan @ 3 Washington
5 Ohio State @ 4 Penn State
2015 would have been:
8 Houston @ 1 Clemson
7 Ohio State @ 2 Alabama
6 Stanford @ 3 Michigan State
5 Iowa @ 4 Oklahoma
2014 would have been:
8 Boise State @ 1 Alabama
7 Mississippi State @ 2 Oregon
6 TCU @ 3 Florida State
5 Baylor @ 4 Ohio State
Any arguments for deserving teams being left out with these 8 team matchups would be much weaker than the arguments we are having now.
No, making the playoffs and losing to OSU is not a "disaster" unless you're Alabama. To the contrary, that would be a major accomplishment!
