someone is getting screwed no matter what here, and the playoff is definitely necessary.
i think that auburn will end up getting screwed, and that it is a serious injustice. usc has been great this year, but i think that their schedule has been by far the easiest of the three this year. auburn has beaten everyone on an extremely difficult schedule, and most of the games have been relatively easy wins. not necessarily blowouts, but auburn had those games in control the whole way. oklahoma is pretty much the same deal, whereas usc has struggled a couple of times against not so great teams.
essentially because usc and oklahoma started the year 1-2, and because they didnt get beat, they are going to be playing in the title game. even though auburn has been more impressive this year, they couldnt pass the top two just because the voters are not flexible enough to make these types of changes.
