BYU - SCREWED. I know they haven’t played anyone so I guess it is warranted. I hope the committee uses this same criteria when evaluating B10 teams.
NW - #8 LOL. I guess the B10 folks at the committee are trying to ensure that one of their weak a$$ teams get into the playoffs. Indiana exposed OSU and NW beat an over ranked Wisconsin who played 2 games before their “show down” in Evanston.
PAC 12 (Oregon) - playing 5-6 games should not even be qualified to be ranked period.
Cinn - #7 at least they will play more than 8 games when said and done. Quality of schedule well that is a joke.
IMO Ala and ND are the only 2 teams that could lose their conference titles and still make playoffs. No one else can say this.
Question is what happens with the following scenario - fla - 11-1 (SEC Champ), Ala 11-1 (SEC runner up), Clem 11-1 (ACC Champ), ND 11-1 (ACC runner up), OSU 8-0 (B10 Champ) - who is left out? I think this is why ND needs to root for a clean sweep by Ala in the SEC and ND needs to win out in the regular season. If this happens I think the ACC gets 2 teams into the playoffs if ND loses the ACCG. If ND wins out and Clemson is eliminated I think the CINN gets in.
