Baylor was left out because they had no conference championship game in the Big 12, so the 4 playoff spots should go to---CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS!!!! Last I looked Ohio State was not a conference champion. The 4 in the playoffs should be Bama, Washington, Penn State, and Clemson. Oklahoma is not a conference champion (see Baylor last year). And USC, though they beat Washington, are not the conference champions. Lets be consistent and lets value conference champions, or why play a conference championship game.
