Larry Scott turned some heads earlier for the seemingly silly assertion that teams would need to be division-winners to qualify for the proposed college football playoffs. Well, that isn't quite what he meant, but close: he still wants winning your conference as a requirement -- and being a division-winner is implied. Bryan D. Fischer of CBS Sports tweeted Scott's about-face
Larry Scott Wants To Clarify That Thing He Said About A Division-Winner Requirement
Larry Scott wanted to clarify his remarks, he's not budging off requiring conference champions in the playoff.

Obviously if you win your conference, you've won the division. Error on me not making that clear, he's firmly for conference champs.

Well, that makes more sense. Not tons of sense, but more than the division-winners thing. It should still be noted that under this system, Alabama - who, you know, won and stuff last year would not have been allowed in the playoff.
