I think in 2011 it would have been:

#1 - LSU
#5 - Oregon
#10 - Wisconsin
#15 - Clemson

"Left out"

#2 - Bama
#3 - Ok State
#4 - Stanford
#6 - Arkansas
#7 - Boise St
#8 - KSU
#9 - S. Carolina
#11 - Va Tech
#12 - Baylor
#13 - Mich
#14 - Oklahoma



I'm confused by what possible criteria would leave out Ok State if you're including Oregon, Wisconsin, and Clemson instead of them. They won their conference, beat a bunch of ranked teams, and finished highly ranked (#2 overall in the computers behind LSU)

I was just using geauxnavybeatbama's criteria above me. I don't think Ok State won a conference championship game, so they are disqualified.

Point is that all set in stone criteria systems can have pretty big perceived "flaws" or unforeseen/unintended results. This is an interesting question and will certainly generate a ton of conversation for college football towards this end of every season, which in and of itself can be a good thing.

I believe he is responding to someone that said you should have to win a conference championship game.
